Your private guide will share insights about Vietnamese culture and the region’s rich history along the way. A short rest stop en route allows you to stretch your legs and enjoy a local coffee before continuing to Ninh Binh.

Arrive at Hoa Lu ancient capital, Vietnam’s first capital during the Dinh and Le dynasties in the 10th century. Explore the ancient temples dedicated to King Dinh Tien Hoang and King Le Dai Hanh, surrounded by picturesque karst mountains.

Your guide will tell fascinating stories about Vietnam’s early independence, royal life, and how Hoa Lu became a political and cultural center over a thousand years ago.

Savor a traditional Vietnamese buffet lunch at a local restaurant featuring Ninh Binh specialties such as goat meat, crispy rice (com chay), and fresh vegetables. Vegetarian options are also available upon request. Your guide can share recommendations for local dishes that best represent the region’s authentic flavors.

After lunch, embark on a mesmerizing boat trip through Trang An landscape, one of Vietnam’s most beautiful and serene natural landscapes. Glide along the crystal-clear river surrounded by limestone karsts, lush greenery, and mysterious caves.

Your skilled rower will paddle through a series of natural grottoes such as Sang Cave (Light Cave), Toi Cave (Dark Cave), and Nau Ruou Cave (Wine Cave). Each cave reveals a new dimension of Trang An’s natural beauty.

Along the way, you’ll also pass ancient temples nestled into cliffs, peaceful valleys, and scenes straight out of a painting. The tranquil atmosphere and the gentle sound of oars create a sense of complete harmony with nature.

This private experience allows you to enjoy the scenery at your own pace, away from the crowds.

Continue to Hang Mua (Mua Cave), known for its breathtaking panoramic view of Tam Coc and Ninh Binh’s countryside. Climb nearly 500 stone steps to reach the summit, where a dragon-shaped statue guards the peak.

The effort is well rewarded — the sweeping vista of green rice fields, winding rivers, and limestone cliffs is one of the most iconic views in Vietnam. This stop is a highlight of your Trang An private tour, perfect for travelers seeking both adventure and photography opportunities. After descending, enjoy some free time to relax or sip a refreshing coconut before lunch.
