We invite you to come and discover the rich tapestry of Vietnam's ancient past with us as we travel south from Hanoi to the Province of Ninh Binh. Soak up the ambience of Hoa Lu, the ancient capital city during the Dinh and Le Dynasties, one thousand years ago.

Swap dry land for traditional Vietnamese transport as we board a sampan for a cruise down the Tam Coc River with the further option of floating down Trang An or Thung Nang Rivers famous for their charming grottoes and limestone karst mountains.

Ha Long Bay, in the Gulf of Tonkin, includes some 1,600 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. Because of their precipitous nature, most of the islands are uninhabited and unaffected by a human presence. The site's outstanding scenic beauty is complemented by its great biological interest.
