Description

The scenery of Trang An is dominated by karst formations rising majestically from the emerald-green waters. These towering cliffs create a dramatic backdrop for the meandering waterways, rice paddies, and lush forests that characterize the landscape. Aside from its natural beauty, Trang An is also steeped in cultural significance. The area is home to numerous archaeological sites, pagodas, and temples, including Bai Dinh Pagoda, one of the largest Buddhist complexes in Vietnam. Cycling trip to Hoa Lu - The ancient capital of Vietnam from the year of 968 to 1010 where we will pay our visit to the two old temples of the Dinh and Le king. Mua cave to hike up on the Dragon’s back to have a 360o view of Tam Coc and Trang An. The best scenery.

Unforgettable Northern Vietnam magic carpet ride

We had magic carpet ride experience traveling through Lan Ha Bay, Cat Ba Island, Tam Coc, Ninh Binh, Hanoi. Each day was meticulously planned and tailored to the authentic culture unique to each area. Our tour guide, Tiger (Mr Trang) is fantastic, knowledgeable, kind, and has great, positive energy. Tiger is an ideal travel connoisseur, foodie, history teacher combo. We had an intergenerational group with various preferences, and he was so patient and understanding flexing to our group’s needs. Highlights included kayaking in La Ha Bay and tasting the local dishes in Hanoi (Tiger brought us to food stalls we would’ve never know to visit, and the flavors were out of this world). While the entire trip was a once in a lifetime experience, we gained such an appreciation for the culture and society and left wanting to return in the future! Highly recommend Vega Travel!

It is wonderful to know that Mr. Tiger (Trang) made such a lasting impression on your family. We take great pride in having guides who are not only knowledgeable but also patient and flexible, especially with intergenerational groups. We will certainly pass your kind words to him; he will be thrilled to hear that his passion for history and local food helped you appreciate our culture even more. From the quiet waters of Lan Ha Bay to the hidden food stalls of Hanoi, we are so glad every moment was meticulously tailored to your needs. Your high recommendation is the greatest reward for the entire Vega Travel team. We cannot wait to welcome you and your family back for another magical adventure in the future!

Great day in Trang An and Ninh Bin

One of the best days of this Vietnam trip The views from above were breathtaking and the boat ride through Trang An has left me speechless. Another thing that I liked was knowing the first capital of Vietnam and its history, which our guide Quang Quack has explained to us and has made sure that we have been able to fully enjoy this wonderful day. This excursion is one of the best memories I'm taking from Vietnam
