On the Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi, we head to the ancient capital of Hoa Lu to check out two temples named after the two kings who ruled Vietnam from here. Afterwards, proceed to Tam Coc for a buffet lunch and to take a peaceful boat tour down the river, soaking up all the cave and mountain geography surrounding it. We finish for the day with a cycling tour along Tam Coc’s humble village roads, taking in views of the verdant rice paddies and seeing the local way of life for farmers here in Ninh Binh province.

Tam Coc Boat Trip
Activities: Visit Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, Kinh Dinh and Kinh Le Temples, enjoy the buffet lunch, enjoy the boat trip in Tam Coc with beautiful scenery and cycling around Tam Coc Villages for learning the local people
We pick you up in Hanoi's Old Quarter at around 08:00 – 08:30 am to start your Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi. The rugged countryside will fly past the window on the 2-hour drive to Ninh Binh province.
Hoa Lu is our first stop; it was from here that King Dinh and King Le ruled before their respective dynasties fell and the capital was moved. Hoa Lu has two very impressive temples devoted to the kings and our guide will explain how people lived under their rules.
We will visit Tam Coc afterwards and enjoy a vast buffet lunch at a local restaurant. We head to the river afterwards, where we will climb into a sampan boat and lie back as the village women row us using just their legs. The ‘Halong Bay on Land’, as it is sometimes known, is awash with photo opportunities: intriguing caves; tall, rocky cliffs; goats and birds atop mountains, and swathes of green and golden rice.
We will rent some bikes when we’re back at the dock and begin cycling down the village paths that run adjacent to vast rice fields. Here you get the picture-perfect Vietnamese scenery; flat rice fields with dramatic mountains behind and the sun overhead.
We conclude the Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi by taking you back to the capital via air-conditioned bus. It was a pleasure serving you and we hope to see you again!
