Ninh Binh day trip: Tuyet Tinh Coc - Tam Coc & dancing cave
Joined 2023
Ninh Binh, is one of Vietnam's most striking destinations. Breathtaking boat rides and lush countryside are just half of the appeal: the area is also rich in cultural treasures and is listed as a UNESCO Heritage Site.
My tour will take you to "secret" places for spectacular view and peaceful countryside area of Ninh Binh.

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
We arrive to Hanoi. Sometimes due to traffic, we might expect to come back Hanoi about 19:30.

“Two days in Hanoi and Ninh Binh”
Rose has been excellent from the outset helping us with our arrangements and tickets for the Water Puppet show before we’d even set off for our trip. Always attentive to our needs, Rose has an infectious energy and enthusiasm for guiding. We asked to adjust our plans through the 2 days and Rose kindly did so in real time. Thank you Rose.

“Wonderful experience with a phenomenal guide.”
During our short visit to Hanoi, we spent a day with Rose touring the sights, learning the history, and eating some amazing food. After she met us at our hotel, we started at the Hanoi Hilton. Rose shared her extensive knowledge of its history and provided great insight. She then took us to Train Street where we got trackside seats at a cafe. Before the train arrived, she toured us around some small alleys in the area and we saw some local homes. Then back to the cafe for the exhilarating experience of having the train pass us by approximately one foot away from our front row seats. After seeing the train, she took us for lunch. First we tried Bun Cha (Obama noodles) down a little alley that we never would have found by ourselves. They were so good. Next, Rose brought us for delicious Banh Mi sandwiches. It was the best one I have had in Vietnam to date. She offered to take us for grilled fish next, but we had already eaten our fill. So although it sounded good, we passed. Our next stop was to try egg coffee. I wasn't expecting to like it, but I was pleasantly surprised and found it delightful. After lunch, we ended our day at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum where, once again, Rose's knowledge of the history was truly appreciated. Rose then brought us back to our hotel where we parted ways after a spectacular tour. Overall, it was an enlightening day and Rose was a wonderful guide. Her excellent command of English combined with her warmth and personality created a lasting impression. We made some great memoried and we highly recommend taking a tour with Rose. You won't regret it!
