Description
Discover the authentic side of Ninh Binh on a day tour from Hanoi. Climb to the summit of Hang Mua, enjoy a local lunch, cycle through villages, and take a boat ride in Van Long Nature Reserve.
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as you journey through the beautiful Red River countryside.
Climb the famous stone steps to the summit of Hang Mua for one of Vietnam’s most spectacular panoramic views. Overlooking rice fields, limestone peaks, and winding rivers, this is one of Ninh Binh’s most iconic landscapes.
Enjoy a delicious Vietnamese lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant near Van Long Nature Reserve, featuring fresh regional specialties prepared by local families.
After lunch, hop on a bicycle and ride along quiet country roads surrounded by rice paddies, lotus ponds, and traditional villages. Meet friendly locals and experience the relaxed rhythm of rural life away from the tourist crowds.
Board a traditional bamboo sampan rowed by a local boat woman and gently glide through the tranquil wetlands of Van Long Nature Reserve. Known as Vietnam’s largest wetland reserve, Van Long offers stunning limestone scenery, rich birdlife, and a chance to spot the endangered Delacour’s langur in its natural habitat.
Unlike the busier attractions, Van Long remains peaceful, authentic, and beautifully preserved, making it the perfect place to experience the untouched beauty of Ninh Binh.
