Ancient Wonders of Vietnam Itinerary

After having breakfast today, you will go to Ninh Binh, which is south of Hanoi. This place is known for its beautiful landscapes, including Tam Coc Caves and the ancient capital of Hoa Lu with old temples dedicated to King Dinh & King Le.
Your visit to Ninh Binh starts with a boat trip in Tam Coc. Here, you will see amazing limestone hills rising from the green fields, creating a scene similar to Halong Bay in Vietnam. After that, you will explore the site that used to be the king's palace in the 10th century. Now, it's famous for the wooden carvings at the Dinh and Le temples. Lunch is included in the plan. In the late afternoon, you'll return to Hanoi and spend the night at the hotel.

Start the day with breakfast. Today, we're heading to Halong Bay, a place recognized as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1994. Once we arrive in Halong, we will hop on a boat to explore the incredible beauty of this bay, often referred to as the "Descending-dragon" bay. It is filled with thousands of uniquely shaped limestone rocks and caves.
After enjoying a tasty lunch with fresh seafood on the boat, we will visit the Surprising Grotto, take some time for swimming or kayaking, cruise past floating villages, and get close to small islands to appreciate their beauty. We will return to the boat for dinner, and in the evening, you can join onboard activities or simply relax. You will spend the night on the boat.

After a tasty breakfast, we are heading to Luon Cave by boat. This cave is like a circle-shaped pool on an island in Halong Bay, surrounded by calm and beautiful scenery with greenish water. On our way back to Halong, we will pass through a busy area filled with many islands, each with interesting names like Cock-Fighting Rock, Sail Island, Incense Burner Rock, and Sea Dog Rock. Lunch is part of the plan. In the evening, you have free time to do whatever you like. We will be spending the night at a hotel in Hanoi.

After having breakfast, this morning you will be taken to the airport for your flight back home or to your next destination.
