What to expect

Discover a different side of Ninh Bình on an afternoon and evening excursion from Hanoi. With no early start required, you'll travel to Ninh Bình and explore its limestone landscapes at a more relaxed pace.

After hotel pick-up, you'll travel to Ninh Bình and enjoy a boat cruise in Tràng An, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or in Tam Cốc. Both are renowned for their waterways, caves and karst formations.

The journey continues to Hoa Lư Ancient Town, where you'll visit Bắc Pagoda (Bảo Tháp Kỳ Lân Tự). You'll then climb approximately 100 steps up Kỳ Lân Mountain to take in panoramic views of the ancient town and the surrounding karst landscape.

In the evening, stroll through the lantern-lit streets of Hoa Lư Ancient Town and savour a local dinner with regional specialities. You'll then board a traditional lantern boat for a night cruise, where you'll be served tea and local sweets and have the opportunity to release a floating lantern while taking in the illuminated riverside setting.

Designed for travellers looking to experience Ninh Bình beyond a typical day trip, this tour combines natural scenery, culture and cuisine in one full-day adventure.
