Itinerary
Starting point: We pick you up from the Hanoi Old Quarter, then start the trip.
After a 2.5 hour drive from Hanoi (depending on traffic), we will arrive in Ninh Binh and enjoy a short break at a local restaurant. From there, we’ll start a biking trip through the peaceful countryside to reach Hoa Lư, the ancient capital of Vietnam during the 10th and 11th centuries. Along the way, you can admire the stunning limestone mountains, green rice fields, and rural villages. At Hoa Lư, you’ll visit the temples of King Đinh and King Lê, the founders of Vietnam’s first royal dynasty, and learn about the country’s early history and culture.
After visiting the temples of King Đinh and King Lê, we will cycle back to the restaurant and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch with a variety of local dishes. The lunch break will last about one hour, giving you time to relax and recharge before continuing the journey.
After lunch, we will continue our journey to Tràng An (with 2.5 hours boat ride) or Tam Coc (with 1.5 hours boat ride), where you will enjoy a scenic boat trip through a network of stunning limestone caves, each ranging from 150 to 450 meters long. As you glide along the peaceful river, you can admire the spectacular karst formations, crystal clear waters, and lush green landscapes that make Tràng An/ Tam Coc one of Vietnam’s most breathtaking natural sites.
After exploring Tràng An/Tam Coc, we will head to Mua Cave (Hang Múa) one of the most famous viewpoints in Ninh Binh. From the base, you’ll climb about 500 stone steps that wind up the mountain to the top of Mua Peak. The hike may take around 15 to 20 minutes, but once you reach the summit, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Tam Cốc valley, winding rivers, and lush rice fields below. As the day ends, this is also the perfect spot to watch the sunset, when the golden light spreads across the limestone mountains and the landscape turns into a stunning natural painting a truly unforgettable experience in Ninh Binh.
After finishing all activities, we will return to Hanoi, with the drive taking approximately 2.5 hours. Please note that the travel time may vary depending on traffic conditions.
