Hoa Lu, Tam Coc & Mua Cave Day Tour

  • Ninh Binh
  • Excursión de un día
  • Grupo reducido
  • Recogida en el hotel

The full Ninh Binh day: Hoa Lu's royal temples, the river caves of Tam Coc and the climb up Mua Cave for the best view in the province.

The day starts with history at Hoa Lu, the 10th-century capital where the Dinh and Le kings are still honoured in their temples among the hills.

Tam Coc follows – the 'Ha Long Bay on land', where the Ngo Dong River threads through three caves between rice fields and cliffs.

And then the climb: more than 500 steps up Ngoa Long Mountain at Mua Cave, to a panorama that puts the whole day in perspective. Lunch is a premium buffet at Trang An Eco Restaurant, and your guide is with you throughout.

  • Walk through Hoa Lu, the 10th-century capital, and the temples of the Dinh and Le kings
  • See the karsts and river caves of Tam Coc, the 'Ha Long Bay on land'
  • Climb 500+ steps up Ngoa Long Mountain for the Mua Cave panorama

    Tam Coc, the 'Ha Long Bay on land'

    River winding through rice fields between Tam Coc karsts

    Tam Coc is famous for its limestone karsts and winding waterways. The Ngo Dong River slips through three caves – Tam Coc means 'three caves' – between rice fields and sheer cliffs, and along the water you catch the everyday life of the villages.

    Mua Cave viewpoint

    View over green river and boats from Mua Cave

    Climb more than 500 steps at Mua Cave (Mua means 'dance') to the top of Ngoa Long Mountain. The reward is a panorama over Ninh Binh and the Ngo Dong River winding through the fields below.

Momentos que recordarás

  • Where a kingdom began

    At Hoa Lu the temples of the Dinh and Le kings sit low among the limestone hills – a quiet place to imagine Vietnam's capital a thousand years ago.

  • Three caves, one river

    The Ngo Dong River slides into the rock and out again, three times over, with rice fields and cliffs on either side.

  • The view from Ngoa Long

    After more than 500 steps, Ninh Binh opens up below you: the Ngo Dong River, the fields and the karsts stretching away in every direction.
