Full description

Uncover the cultural and natural heritage of the Ninh Binh province on a guided day trip from Hanoi. Pay a visit to the Bai Dinh Temple Complex, float through the tranquil rivers of Trang An, and climb to the top of Mua Caves for striking panoramic views of rocky hills.

Get picked up from your hotel in Hanoi and depart toward Ninh Binh. Stop at Bai Dinh, the biggest complex of Buddhist temples in Vietnam, to gaze at the imposing pagoda. See 500 Arhat Statues made out of blue stones, a 36-ton bronze bell, and a 100-ton Buddha statue, rising up to 10 meters.

Take a lunch break in a local restaurant, with a Vietnamese buffet of goat meat, fish, chicken, and fried rice, as well as vegetarian food options. Continue to the Trang An Landscape Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featured in the 2017 movie Kong: Skull Island.

Hop on a wooden boat to navigate through its quiet rivers, discover mysterious caves, and admire towering limestone karsts covered with tropical plants. Finally, climb up 500 steps to the viewpoint of Mua Caves to marvel at panoramic views of Tam Coc before returning to Hanoi.

Really long day but Hoa made it a fantastic trip. She was so full of energy, so knowledgeable and so helpful throughout the day, and our driver Hung (I hope I spelt that right) was very skilled and got us back to Hanoi quickly and safely. Wear comfortable shoes when you go!

Absolutely amazing trip, the temple tour was very detailed and lots of beautiful statues, then the boat trip through the caves was breathtaking and the hike to the mountain top produced the most amazing view! Highly recommend this tour and Viet the tour guide, he was super lovely and patient and knowledgeable. Huge thank you to Viet and our boat rower of boat 779 too! She was incredible!

Our tour guide James was unreal. He was very knowledgeable, funny and friendly. The boat ride was alittle long (2hrs) but beautiful scenery. Definitely recommend bringing plenty of water in the hotter months. The only downfall was lunch. It was below average. The food was dry and tasteless.
