Peaceful Riverside Retreat - If you want to unwind, this 3-day tour delivers tranquility. Early morning cuppa by the riverside, soft mist drifting among cascade levels, and gentle boat glide. Afternoon strolls along forest paths brought calm. Local meals of fresh fish and mountain greens were delightful. Homestay beds were comfy, and the entire itinerary balanced exploration with rest. Truly relaxing

Active Trek & Boat Combo - This trip’s combo of trekking and boating was perfect for outdoor lovers. We hiked along limestone cliffs, explored hidden streams, and then boarded bamboo boats for a close-up view of the falls. The guide explained geology and ecology en route. Evenings were cozy in countryside lodging. Energizing days, informative guide, and thrilling nature scenes.

Immersive Cultural Journey - Beyond the waterfalls, the highlight was meeting Tay and Nung people in remote villages. We joined them for rice wine toasts and learned traditional weaving techniques. The waterfall tour itself was spectacular—powerful cascades, absorbing boat trip, and scenic forest walks. Comfortable lodging, warm hospitality, and a genuine cultural connection made every moment special.

Early morning mist and golden hour light were ideal. The guide suggested secret photo spots and shared tips. Homestay windows offered perfect frames. Stunning natural beauty, expertly curated experience."

SAddventure & Authenticity - This 3-day itinerary offered both adrenaline and authenticity. We kayaked near the falls, then trekked through pepper plantations. Pausing at a remote village tea house, we tasted fragrant tea and chatted with local elders. Nighttime stories around a fire added charm. Excellent logistics, knowledgeable guide, and the furious roar of waterfalls close enough to feel made it unforgettable"

Sunrise Serenity at Ban Gioc - Waking up early to see ban Gioc at dawn was worth it. The golden light dancing on misty falls felt magical. After a peaceful morning boat ride, we visited a local waterfall-fed cave. Evenings at the countryside homestay were full of laughter over home-cooked Cao Bang specialties. Friendly staff, varied activities, and jaw-dropping views make this tour a gem

Majestic Waterfall Escape - Our 3-day, 2-night trip to Ban Gioc was breathtaking. The cascading falls were even more stunning than photos, especially at sunrise. We hiked nearby trails, enjoyed a boat ride close to the thundering waters, and sipped local tea in a riverside village. The included homestay was warm, and the guide’s stories about Cao Bang history enriched the experience. Unforgettable!
