Tourist catch

Attraction for tourists . This is not a real farm. It's like Mickey's. It's horrible except possibly for children. We sell you a duck feed like a hand massage. Nothing authentic

Great Hospitality

Amazing experience. The people were super fun and welcoming. Rode a water buffalo and caught fish with our bare hands. Food was great and was a very personal experience.

Fun and authentic local experience

I had the best day here! We started off by feeding the buffalo and had the option of riding it. Then we were given suits so we could get in the rice fields and harvest / plant rice before going fishing. This is a great activity - the tour guide was super helpful and took pictures as no one had their phones on them. I also did a cooking class after the event where we cooked some traditional Vietnamese dishes - it was all delicious and so nice to do this in a tranquil setting. I would definitely recommend this activity if you’re visiting Ninh Binh. Make sure to bring a towel as you’ll get wet and muddy!

Highly highly recommended

We saw a flyer at one of the touristy places and just booked this tour and I must say it was a highlight of our Vietnam’s tour. The staff was absolutely amazing and so friendly. We had such an amazing time catching fish , planting the rice , riding a buffalo and cooking Vietnamese food. One of the best experience if you have young kids or if you want to have a different experience altogether. Highly highly recommended .

Fantastic

We had a great afternoon with this family who multiplied activities. We were able to walk with the buffalo, fish, plant rice, cook and share the meal with other visitors. As a bonus we were even able to ride on a raft he had just built to go feed the goats. Special mention to the smallest of the family who offers photo tracking at an extra charge: we have plenty of photos more beautiful than each other (just plan battery on a phone for transfer)

Look into the lives of the locals.

The family were friendly and fun to chat with. The experience itself wasn’t that long but long enough to see the hardship Vietnamese people deal with on a daily basis.

One of the best experiences I have had in Vietnam

We stayed at the Buffalo cave for the whole afternoon and it was one of the best experiences I have had in Vietnam. The place is really beautiful and the staff were so helpful. They respected that the heat that day was too much for us and gave us enough time to rest in between activities as well as plenty of cold tea to cool us down. Everyone there was super kind and explained to us what is it like to live in a place like this and answered every question we had. Everything that was promised was delivered and then some. I highly recommend you this experience it is absolutely worth it.

The moment when things you think are ordinary become special

I was able to enjoy experiences that I couldn't enjoy in the city, and I was able to have fun with my family, especially teenagers, and have a really fun and special experience and be thankful for what we have.

My most authentic experience in Vietnam, a true highlight of my month long trip!

From start to finish this was amazing and the best tour I’ve done in all of Vietnam. Truly authentic and personal with such a wide ranging set of activities (feeding the ducks and buffalo, fishing, rice picking and planting, as well as a technical cooking class! The family were so hospitable, funny and engaging. This is the one tour I recommend to everyone going to Ninh Binh! Shout out to the young girls name (sorry I forgot)!
