Ninh Binh Day Trip: Hoa Lu, Mua Cave & Van Long Natural Reserve

Discover the stunning landscapes that Vietnam has to offer on this Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi. Delve into the historical capital of Hoa Lu, ascend the picturesque Mua Cave, and navigate the tranquil waters of the Van Long Nature Reserve.

Ninh Binh Day Trip

At the specified time, we will collect you from your Hanoi hotel and embark on a journey to Ninh Binh province, located approximately two hours away by bus.

Our exploration commences in Hoa Lu, the former heart of the Vietnamese Empire. Here, we will visit the remarkable temples dedicated to the Dinh and Le dynasties. You will be captivated by the grand entrance of the ancient city, shaped by the forces of nature over the years!

Next, we will make our way to the renowned Mua Cave, often referred to as the “Princess of Ninh Binh.” After ascending nearly 500 steps, you will be rewarded with stunning vistas of Tam Coc's rolling hills and lush valleys—an ideal location for capturing unforgettable photos!

Following our hike, a delightful lunch at a local eatery awaits, featuring traditional delicacies from the area.

Post-lunch, we will mount bicycles and ride towards the Bich Dong Pagoda, a tranquil assembly of three temples nestled amid the scenic mountains and vibrant greenery of Tam Coc.

To conclude our Ninh Binh exploration, we will embark on a boat journey through the Van Long Nature Reserve. With a bit of luck, we may spot the elusive Delacour's Langur, an endangered and charming species of primate.

After an enriching 11-hour excursion, we will return to Hanoi and transport you back to your hotel.
