Glide through the scenic landscape by bamboo boat and cycle past rice fields and village paths, where you’ll see locals going about their daily lives. Explore Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of the Dinh, Le, and Ly dynasties, and enjoy a serene boat ride through Tam Coc—often referred to as “Halong Bay on Land.” Finish your day with a rewarding hike up Mua Cave, where sweeping mountaintop views of Tam Coc’s dramatic scenery await.
