Leave Hanoi behind for a scenic 2-hour drive to Ninh Binh, a province known for its dramatic limestone landscapes and rich cultural heritage. The tour begins at Hoa Lu, Vietnam’s ancient capital from the 10th century. While the original citadel has faded with time, the remaining Dinh and Le dynasty temples offer a glimpse into the country’s royal past, nestled among lush rice paddies and peaceful countryside.

After lunch at a local restaurant, head to Tam Coc, often called “Halong Bay on Land”, for a relaxing sampan boat ride through caves and beneath towering karst cliffs—an unforgettable natural experience.

Note:

Suggested departure time: 07:30.

Tour duration: 9.5 hours. 

Later, enjoy a leisurely 5 km bike ride along quiet rural roads and through traditional villages before returning to Hanoi in the late afternoon.
