RED RIVER DELTA & COUNTRYSIDE 4 DAYS MOTORBIKE TOURS

Red River Delta & countryside 4 days / 3 nights.

Booking code of Red River Delta & Countryside 4 Days: NB401

Day 1: Hanoi – Perfume Pagoda – Ninh Binh. ~100 km, ~4 h.

Ride to Perfume Pagoda on karst road through myriads of limestone. Then boat to the foot of the mountain. Alternatively, you can take a cable car, however, boating is more fun. Walk to the most well-known pagoda – Huong Tich – requires a 4-km walk straight up the mountainside. It should be noted that the site attracts the greatest pilgrimage in North Vietnam during the three months following Tet (New Year according to the lunar calendar). During this time, thousands of worshippers climb the mountain to pray at the various religious sites. A city of bamboo is constructed at the base of the mountain in just one week to cater for the occasion. Impressive!

Finally, ride through myriads of stone on the bumpy road to Van Xuan Hotel, dinner at the hotel (exquisite cuisine).

Then have lunch with seafood on the boat. Fishing and swimming. Visit local people in the floating village of Van Gia. Boating to Monkey Island. Dinner and sleep overnight on boat.

In fact, Cat Ba is the far end of Halong Bay. In general, Cat Ba still live from the resource that the sea offers. However, tourism is developed and of high quality. The Cat Ba Bay is a condensed of Halong Bay, its labyrinth of limestone so dense that it is difficult to imagine we are in the sea.

We created this itinerary – the floating village Van Gia. They are our personal friends and the relationship with them is intimate, even knowing that some companies now also pass through there.

Last but not least, Monkey Island (Cat Dua Islet) was totally ignored by mass tourism when we propose to stop there. It has got nothing special besides the fact that there is nobody except monkeys and one family who takes care of their security.

Day 4: Cat Ba – Hanoi. ~120 km, ~3 h. End of Red River Delta & Countryside 4 Days.

Breakfast on the boat before cruising back to Cat Ba town. Then have a shower and lunch in the hotel before taking the ferry back to Hanoi at 1.30 pm. Pick up the bike and ride back to Hanoi in 2 hours.

We try to arrive in Hanoi before 5pm to avoid rush hours. Otherwise, you should be good with city traffic from the experience you got over the last days.
