Description

Begin your journey in Ninh Binh with a visit to the Bear Sanctuary, a unique wildlife conservation project. Walk the Skywalk for a close-up view of the rescued bears, learn about their rehabilitation through exhibitions and a short documentary, and meet the caretakers who dedicate their lives to animal welfare. Next, step back in time at Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, the royal city of Vietnam during the Dinh and Le dynasties. Explore historic temples surrounded by dramatic limestone mountains and discover stories of Vietnam’s first kings. After a tasty local lunch, enjoy the highlight of the day: a sampan boat ride through the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Glide peacefully along emerald rivers, past towering karst cliffs, and into hidden caves and tranquil valleys—an unforgettable experience often called “Ha Long Bay on land.” In the late afternoon, return to your hotel in Ninh Binh. This eco-friendly day tour combines wildlife, culture, and nature, making it perfect for families, couples, and eco-conscious travelers looking for a memorable escape.
