Ninh Binh and Tam Coc Day Trip
After breakfast at your hotel, travel for about two hours from Hanoi to Ninh Binh, the former capital of Vietnam. Known for its striking limestone mountains and winding rivers, the region is often called “Terrestrial Halong Bay.” On arrival, visit the ancient temples of Hoa Lu, which were built in honor of the Dinh and Le Kings who ruled in the 10th century. Learn about their role in shaping Vietnam’s early history while enjoying the peaceful setting surrounded by rural scenery. In the afternoon, take a leisurely boat trip through Tam Coc on a traditional sampan. The two-hour journey passes through calm waterways lined with rice fields and impressive limestone cliffs, with short passages through natural caves. The quiet pace offers time to take in the scenery and appreciate the area’s natural charm. After the boat ride, return to Hanoi in the evening, where the rest of the night is at your leisure.
