    Often called “Ha Long Bay on land,” Ninh Binh is Vietnam’s most breathtaking karst landscape: emerald rivers, dramatic limestone peaks, ancient temples, and peaceful rice fields. The iconic boat rides through Tam Coc, Trang An, and Van Long are best enjoyed in small groups – no crowded tourist boats, just you and your new travel friends gliding through nature in absolute serenity.

    Every day, Legend Travel Group brings together solo travelers and small groups from Hanoi’s top social hostels for the most memorable Vietnam Tours to Ninh Binh. With only a 10% deposit required (balance due 30 days before departure), you can secure your spot today with complete peace of mind.
