Ninh Binh off the beaten track day tour

Explore Ninh Binh off the beaten track day tour

7.30 AM: Meet your tour guide and driver at your hotel lobby.  Hit the road for 2.5 hours drive to Ninh Binh area. Our first stop is Phat Diem stone cathedral. This stunning cathedral is of particular interest as it incorporates both European and local style. Here, beautiful traditional pagoda rooves meet western gothic style walls. Take a slow pace of walking to explore tiny alley way of the village. Lunch will be served in a local family. You might interact with local family to learn about their lives.

After lunch, take 40 minutes drive to Thien Ha (Galaxy cave area).

Board your traditional flat bottomed boat – known locally as a sampan – and head off with your guide along the Ben Dang River. As you drift along, take in the beautiful scenery and use the opportunity to take some photographs of your surroundings.

Disembark and follow the old road until you come to the Động Thiên Hà – the Galaxy Grotto. This attraction is known across Vietnam and beyond for its wonderful scenery.The cave gives you the opportunity to view some stunning stalactites in a variety of shapes and colors.

Following your visit you will walk back to your sampan and make your way back to your starting point.

Transfer back to Hanoi and trip ends at your hotel at 17.30 pm approximately.
