Description
Your day begins with a convenient hotel pickup in Hanoi before heading to the beautiful province of Ninh Binh. Enjoy a short rest stop along the way before arriving at a local restaurant.
Hop on a bicycle and ride through the peaceful countryside to Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam. Explore the historic temples dedicated to Kings Dinh and Le while your guide shares fascinating stories about Vietnam's first royal dynasty. If you prefer not to cycle, a shuttle bus will take you directly to the site.
Continue cycling through charming local villages to experience the daily life of local residents before returning to the restaurant for a delicious Vietnamese lunch. Vegetarian meals are available, and guests traveling by luxury limousine can enjoy an upgraded dining experience.
In the afternoon, board a traditional sampan boat for a relaxing journey through Tam Coc. Glide along the Ngo Dong River, surrounded by towering limestone karsts, lush rice fields, and magnificent natural caves. It's easy to see why this breathtaking landscape is known as 'Ha Long Bay on Land.'
The adventure continues with a visit to Hang Mua (Mua Cave), one of Ninh Binh's most spectacular viewpoints. Climb nearly 500 stone steps to the summit of Ngoa Long Mountain, where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views over Tam Coc's winding river, emerald rice fields, and dramatic limestone mountains.
After a day filled with history, culture, and spectacular scenery, relax on the comfortable drive back to Hanoi.
