Travel solo, share the magic (Source: Internet)Ninh Binh’s rowboat routes through Trang An, Tam Coc, and Van Long are consistently voted among the most spectacular boat journeys on Earth – towering karsts, mirror-like water, lotus flowers, and hidden caves that feel like another planet.
But here’s the secret: the experience is 100× better when you share it with the right people.
Our Vietnam Tours for Ninh Binh boats are created exclusively for solo travelers who want the postcard views without the tourist chaos. Private small-group boats (max 4–6 guests per boat), perfectly timed departures to beat crowds, and the kind of laughter that echoes through limestone caves.
Since 2008, thousands of guests have told us: “The boat ride was stunning… but the friends I made on it were the real highlight.”
Trang An UNESCO Grottoes (Route 1) – The most cinematic route with 9 caves & 3 temples – featured in Kong: Skull Island
Tam Coc “Halong Bay on Land” – Iconic three-cave route surrounded by rice fields (golden in May–June, green in Sep–Oct)
Van Long Nature Reserve – Quietest route with rare Delacour’s langurs and zero crowds
Private Sunrise or Sunset Sessions – Beat the tour buses by 1–2 hours – exclusive with Legend Travel Group
Every boat is rowed by local women in traditional nón lá – and we tip them fairly on your behalf.
