Description
Leave the busy streets of Hanoi and enjoy a full-day trip to Ninh Binh, famous for its natural beauty, ancient history, and peaceful river landscapes.
After pickup, travel south to Ninh Binh and begin your journey at Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, where you will visit the historic temples of the Dinh and Le kings and learn about Vietnam’s early history.
Continue to Mua Cave, where a short hike up a stone staircase rewards you with one of the best panoramic views in Ninh Binh. From the top, admire the rice fields, rivers, and limestone mountains stretching across the landscape.
After lunch at a local restaurant, enjoy a relaxing boat ride through one of the two scenic routes — depending on your preference when booking:
• Trang An (UNESCO): Cruise through cave tunnels and peaceful valleys surrounded by limestone cliffs
• Tam Coc: Glide along the river through open rice fields and natural countryside
Both options offer beautiful scenery — simply choose the experience you prefer.
At the end of the day, return to Hanoi with drop-off at your original meeting point.
