Meeting Point
At your hotel (Hanoi)
- I and driver will pick you up at your hotel. We drive on highway about 2 hours to the South of Hanoi.
Tuyet Tinh Coc, a Fairyland in Ninh Binh
Tuyet Tinh Coc is a complex of lakes, mountains and temples. This area is a small valley with a large lake in the low-lying area. The lake is enclosed by imposing mountain ranges, making Tuyet Tinh Coc an ink-wash painting. The stunning beauty from a fairy tale attracts many tourists to explore this site. The area is called “Tuyet Tinh Coc” since it is the place where people can forget all the exhaustion and hustle of the outside world and find themselves in nature.
Fabulous lunch in best local restaurant
After that, we visit the best local restaurant to taste the real local specialties by excellent chef.
Food will be customized upon your food restrictions.
Dancing cave for the spectacular view of countryside
In the afternoon, we will enjoy the spectacular view on the top of "dancing cave". To conquer the cave, you will start with hard trekking through 500 steps. So brace yourself! Once getting on top, the magnificent panoramic views will let you know that it is worth all of your effort reaching here.
A relaxing time on Tam Coc sampan boat
Then, we will have a peaceful time on our private sampan boat to visit 3 caves & limestone mountains in Tam Coc.
Often referred to as “Halong Bay on Land” due to the lush green rice paddies and towering limestone cliffs, Tam Coc is the perfect places to relax and unwind while soaking up the landscape and the culture of Vietnam.
Drive back to Hanoi
Back in Hanoi
We arrive to Hanoi around 19:00. But sometimes due to traffic, we might expect to arrive in Hanoi about 19:30.

“Fantastisk!”
Vi har hatt gleden av å bli vist rundt i Hanoi av Rose (Nhung) i flere dager. Hun er meget hyggelig, og en svært kunskapsrik guide. Det et en glede å høre på henne når hun entuiastisk formidler nyere og eldre historie. Hun har også meget gode matkunnskaper da hun også har jobbet som kokk. Vi har hatt mange gode måltider sammen, og hun forteller med stor kunnskap om mattradisjoner i Vietnam. Vi kommer til å huske dagene her med stor glede. Vi kan trykt anbefale henne som guide. Mvh Ranheid og Stian

We have done greatly for one day from peaceful Tuyet Tinh Coc, relaxing Sampan boat trip through UNESCO sites with beautiful rock formation, caves and temples.
