Description

Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Hanoi. Relax on a comfortable 2-hour drive through the peaceful countryside of northern Vietnam. Make a short stop to stretch, enjoy the scenery, and learn about local craftsmanship. Then, board a traditional bamboo sampan rowed by a local villager. Glide along the Ngo Dong River through golden rice fields and majestic limestone mountains. Pass through three natural caves—Hang Ca, Hang Hai, Hang Ba—famous for their mysterious beauty. Enjoy a buffet-style meal featuring specialties from the Ninh Binh region such as goat meat, crispy rice, and fresh vegetables. Vegetarian options are available. After lunch, take a gentle bike ride along peaceful rural roads, passing rice paddies, limestone cliffs, and small villages. Stop for photos and learn about daily life in Ninh Binh. Next, walk through lush tropical gardens and visit natural caves such as But Cave or Vai Gioi. Board another small boat deeper into the bird reserve. Witness thousands of birds—storks, herons, egrets—returning to their nests (best in late afternoon). Join a fun, hands-on cooking activity at a local homestay or restaurant. Learn how to prepare 2–3 traditional dishes such as spring rolls or stir-fried vegetables. Enjoy your creations with fresh tea.
