About this trip
A full day out of Hanoi that packs in temples, a boat ride, a cave and a bike ride, without you having to organise any of it. You're guided throughout, with pickup and return transport sorted.
The day moves through Ninh Binh's old capital, out along quiet village paths on a bike, then onto the water at Trang An where limestone cliffs rise up around your sampan. It ends underground, in the sculpted chambers of Dancing Cave.
A relaxed pace overall, mixing a bit of history, some gentle activity, food, and scenery rather than pushing hard at any one of them.
What you'll do
- Visit the 10th-century temples of Hoa Lu, once the seat of the Red River Delta's rulers
- Cycle through rice paddies and village lanes at an easy pace
- Take a sampan boat trip through the caves and karsts of Trang An
- Explore the stalactite formations inside Dancing Cave
- Riverside buffet lunch of local Vietnamese dishes
- Day trip from Hanoi with transport, guide, meals and entrance fees included
- Cycling is gentle and suited to most fitness levels, making this a good fit for families or groups wanting a relaxed day out
