Our private car will drive through the Hoa Lu and Trang An complex, offering views of the incredible landscape with thousands of limestone mountains resembling a citadel. The driver will then take you through villages to reach Mua Cave, where you can take beautiful photos.

The scenery is reminiscent of Halong Bay, but with limestone mountains on land, hence the name ‘Halong on land.’ You’ll board traditional sampan boats (2 to 4 people per boat) and gently row down the exquisite river through numerous caves: Hang Toi (Dark) Cave (320 meters long), Sang (Light) Cave (90 meters long), and Hang Nau Ruou (Cooking Wine) Cave (250 meters long).
