Join the Hoa Lu – Tam Coc – Mua Cave 1 Day Tour and uncover the highlights of Ninh Binh, a destination often called the “Ha Long Bay on land.” This full-day trip combines cultural exploration, natural beauty, and a touch of adventure, making it one of the most popular day tours from Hanoi.
Your journey begins at Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam in the 10th and 11th centuries. Here, you’ll visit historic temples dedicated to King Dinh and King Le, learning about the country’s early dynasties while surrounded by dramatic limestone mountains.
Next, head to Tam Coc, where you’ll enjoy a peaceful sampan boat ride along the Ngo Dong River. Glide past endless rice paddies, limestone cliffs, and mysterious caves carved by nature over centuries. The scenery is breathtaking, especially during harvest season when golden fields stretch across the valley.
