1 day

Easy

This tour combines history, culture, and natural beauty, offering a perfect escape in Ninh Binh from the bustle of Hanoi.

Embark on a full-day journey from Hanoi to Ninh Binh, often called the “Halong Bay on land.” Your adventure begins at Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, where you’ll step back in time to explore historic temples dedicated to the Dinh and Le dynasties. Continue to Tam Coc, a breathtaking landscape of limestone karsts and winding rivers. Here, enjoy a peaceful sampan boat ride through caves and lush rice paddies that showcase the charm of rural Vietnam. In the afternoon, challenge yourself with a climb up Hang Mua Cave viewpoint—the panoramic scenery of mountains, rivers, and villages from the top is truly unforgettable.
