Experience the iconic "Ha Long Bay on Land" scenery with a boat trip in Tam Coc. Glide along the gentle Ngo Dong River in a traditional sampan, rowed skillfully (sometimes by foot!) by local women. The journey takes you past stunning limestone karsts rising dramatically from vibrant green or golden rice paddies (depending on the season, typically green around Feb-Apr, golden May-June).

The name Tam Coc means "Three Caves," and the boat trip passes through Hang Ca, Hang Hai, and Hang Ba caves, low caverns carved by the river through the mountains. This relaxing 1.5-2 hour journey offers classic Ninh Binh views and photo opportunities.
