Explore the Ancient Capital of Hoa Lu

Your guide will introduce you to the history, architecture and stories that shaped this era. Wander through ancient temples and take in the scenic surroundings of this important historical site.

Lunchtime features a generous buffet of local dishes, featuring specialties such as goat meat, chicken, fish and fried rice. Plenty of vegetarian dishes are offered as well, allowing you to enjoy the flavors of north Vietnam.

Bamboo Boat Adventure in Tam Coc or Trang An

After lunch, board a traditional bamboo boat for an unforgettable journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Tam Coc or Trang An. Relax as your boat glides along gentle rivers framed by dramatic limestone mountains and endless rice paddies. The route passes through mysterious cave systems, earning the region its title as “Ha Long Bay on land.”
