Step back in time on this day tour to Hoa Lu, Vietnam’s ancient capital, and the stunning natural landscapes of Tam Coc. Departing from Hanoi, you’ll journey through striking scenery punctuated by stand-alone limestone mountains, a hallmark of Ninh Binh province. At Hoa Lu, explore centuries-old temples dedicated to King Dinh Tien Hoang and King Le Dai Hanh, gaining fascinating insights into the country’s feudal past.
A local lunch—featuring the region’s famous goat meat—prepares you for a serene two-hour boat ride along the Ngo Dong River, often dubbed the “Halong Bay on land.” Glide through three mystical caves, surrounded by peaceful rice paddies and ancient temples. The trip concludes with a return drive to Hanoi, wrapping up a day filled with cultural discovery and breathtaking sights.
