Overview

The Ninh Binh Tour from Hanoi for 6-9 Pax by DCar Limousine lasts about 11 hours and starts with pickup between 7:15 and 7:40 AM from hotels in Hanoi’s Old Town or at 6 Cửa Nam street, Hoàn Kiếm. Transportation is provided by a DCar Limousine. The group drives approximately 90 kilometers south to Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam during the 10th and 11th centuries. Visitors spend about one hour cycling around the village and walking to the King Dinh Temple to learn about the dynasties that ruled there. Lunch with Vietnamese cuisine is served at a local restaurant around 11:45 AM. After lunch, the group chooses between two boat ride options. The first is a one and a half hour bamboo boat trip at Tam Coc, traveling along the Ngo Dong River and passing through three natural caves and limestone formations. The second option is a two-hour boat ride at Trang An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, cruising through waterways surrounded by karst mountains. The tour then continues to Mua Cave, where guests climb nearly 500 steps to the top of Lying Dragon Mountain for panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including Tam Coc. Departure for Hanoi is at about 4:30 PM, with arrival back between 6:30 and 6:45 PM. The tour includes sightseeing tickets, lunch, water on the bus, hotel pickup, and the services of an English-speaking guide and experienced driver. Drinks with lunch, travel insurance, and tips for the guide and driver are not included. Groups consist of 6 to 9 people, and children taller than 1.2 meters are considered adults and must pay the same price.

Hoa Lu Ancient Capital

Hoa Lu served as Vietnam’s capital during the 10th and 11th centuries under the Dinh, Early Le, and Ly dynasties. It is located about 90 kilometers south of Hanoi in Ninh Binh province. The site was chosen for its natural defenses and proximity to the Red River Delta and sea. Hoa Lu thrived for over 40 years before the capital moved to Thang Long (now Hanoi) in 1010. Visitors can explore remains of temples dedicated to emperors such as Dinh Tien Hoang and Le Dai Hanh.

Tam Cốc-Bich Dộng

The name Tam Coc refers to the "Three Caves" — Hang Ca, Hang Hai, and Hang Ba — which are natural tunnels in the mountains that the boat passes through during the 1.5-hour trip.
