Draft Ninh Binh & Ha Long Bay 2-day trip from Hanoi: From Ancient Temples to Timeless Waters

Step into a world where Vietnam’s storied past and its natural wonders unfold in perfect harmony. This 2-day journey takes you from the heartland of Ninh Binh to the breathtaking seascape of Ha Long Bay, seamlessly blending cultural immersion with unforgettable landscapes.

Begin your adventure with a dive into Vietnam’s ancient roots at Hoa Lu—the country’s first capital—where temples and legends of the Dinh and Le dynasties come alive. Pedal through peaceful countryside, float past rice paddies and caves in Tam Coc or Trang An, and climb to the panoramic summit of Mua Cave. You’ll dine on authentic local dishes and spend a restful night at a garden resort surrounded by limestone mountains.

On Day 2, switch gears as you head east to the UNESCO-listed Ha Long Bay. Aboard a modern cruise, you’ll explore dramatic grottoes, kayak through hidden lagoons, and swim at Titov Island. With a buffet seafood lunch, sunset party, and optional Jacuzzi time, it’s the perfect way to unwind after Ninh Binh’s earthy adventures.

This tour is ideal for travelers who want to see both the land and sea sides of Vietnam in a short time. And if you’d like to personalize the journey—whether to skip the hike, swap boat routes, or add a night—just let us know. We’re here to help you shape the experience around what matters most to you.
