Discover the Hidden Beauty of Ninh Binh with a Unique Jeep Adventure

07:00 – 07:40: Hotel Pickup and Departure from Hanoi

Our tour guide will pick you up directly from your hotel or stay in Hanoi Old Quarter. Begin your 110-kilometer journey to Ninh Binh in a modern air-conditioned bus, passing through lush green countryside and peaceful rural landscapes. A short break will be arranged en route for refreshments and rest.

10:00: Start the Jeep Tour from Coi Khe Village

Arrive at Coi Khe Village and switch to a private open-air Jeep for an authentic countryside experience. Your ride takes you off the main tourist trails and through charming alleys, traditional houses, and serene rice fields surrounded by majestic limestone karsts.

During the journey, the Jeep will stop at Bich Dong Pagoda, a picturesque temple built into a limestone mountain. Explore the peaceful atmosphere and ancient Buddhist architecture nestled within nature.

Continue to Thai Vi Temple, an important spiritual site set amidst rice paddies and dramatic rock formations. This temple honors the Tran Dynasty kings and offers a tranquil setting with significant cultural history.

Please note: The tour guide will not accompany guests during the Jeep ride but will reunite with you after the journey.

12:00: Vietnamese Buffet Lunch at Local Restaurant

Enjoy a hearty and delicious buffet lunch served at a local restaurant with scenic views. Savor authentic Vietnamese cuisine made from fresh, seasonal ingredients. Vegetarian options are available upon request. This meal is an excellent opportunity to relax and recharge while experiencing local culinary traditions.

13:30: Choose Your Afternoon Adventure – Boat Ride in Trang An or Tam Coc

Option 1: Trang An Boat Ride

Depart for the Trang An Landscape Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its pristine natural beauty. Board a traditional sampan boat and row gently along the emerald river that winds through a maze of limestone karsts, lush jungle, and hidden temples. Pass through spectacular caves such as Lam Cave, Vang Cave, Dai Cave, and Thanh Truot Cave. Visit sacred sites like Cao Son Temple, Suoi Tien Temple, and Vu Lam Palace tucked peacefully into the mountain cliffs.

Option 2: Tam Coc Sampan Ride

Alternatively, choose the serene setting of Tam Coc, often called “Halong Bay on land.” Enjoy a 1.5-hour boat ride rowed by a local through tranquil waterways and under natural limestone arches. Glide through Hang Ca, Hang Hai, and Hang Ba – the three water caves that give Tam Coc its name. Surrounded by rice fields and towering rock formations, this is a favorite spot for nature lovers and photographers.

15:30: Hike Up Mua Cave – Ngoa Long Mountain

Arrive at Mua Cave, one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in Northern Vietnam. Begin your ascent of 500 stone steps up Ngoa Long Mountain. At the summit, be rewarded with sweeping 360-degree views over the entire Tam Coc valley, meandering rivers, rice paddies, and the limestone mountain range. This panoramic landscape is the perfect ending to a day full of adventure.

16:30: Return to Hanoi

After the climb, relax on the return journey to Hanoi. The bus will take you back through the countryside, giving you one last chance to enjoy Vietnam’s scenic beauty.
