Experience the most beautiful landscapes of Vietnam on this Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi. Explore the ancient capital of Hoa Lu, climb the scenic Mua Cave, and cruise through the serene Van Long Nature Reserve.

Ninh Binh Day Trip

At the designated time, we will pick you up from your hotel in Hanoi and head to Ninh Binh province, approximately two hours away by bus.

The adventure begins in Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of the Vietnamese Empire, where we will explore temples dedicated to the Dinh and Le dynasties. The restored entrance to the imperial city, shaped by centuries of natural erosion, offers an interesting experience.

Next, we will visit Mua Cave, often called the “Princess of Ninh Binh.” After climbing nearly 500 steps, we will enjoy views of Tam Coc's hills and valleys, a great photo opportunity.

Following our climb, we will have lunch at a local restaurant, trying traditional regional dishes.

After lunch, we will cycle to the Bich Dong Pagoda, a complex of three temples set amidst mountains and lush greenery of Tam Coc.

To conclude our Ninh Binh adventure, we will take a boat ride through the Van Long Nature Reserve. If fortunate, we may see the rare Delacour's Langur.

After an 11-hour experience, we will return to Hanoi and drop you off at your hotel.
