Bai Dinh Pagoda, Trang An & Mua Cave tour from Hanoi
Bai Dinh Pagoda, Trang An & Mua Cave tour from Hanoi★★★★★★★★★★ 4.82 (17)12hThis full-day tour from Hanoi visits three sites in Ninh Binh province: Bai Dinh Pagoda, where 500 stone statues surround a 100-ton bronze Buddha; a 2.5-hour boat trip through the limestone cave system of Trang An, a UNESCO World Heritage site; and Mua Cave, a 500-step climb to the summit of Lying Dragon Mountain. The tour includes hotel pickup in the Old Quarter, lunch with local dishes, entrance fees, and an English-speaking guide. You choose at checkout whether to include the Mua Cave climb or return to Hanoi after the boat trip.Is it for me?Choose the two-site option if you want the pagoda and the boat trip without the physical demand of climbing; the three-site option with Mua Cave is for travelers who want the summit views and don't mind the 500 steps. Either way, the guide and the fixed schedule mean you don't arrange transport between sites or figure out which caves to see—the day is built for you.Free cancellationKids −22%fromUS$ 59View ›
