The Van Long – Kenh Ga Floating Village tour takes you to the wonderful northern Ninh Binh Province, home of outstanding limestone mountains separated by rows of rice paddies and winding waterways. Incredible Asia Journeys are proud to take you on this day tour from Hanoi focusing on the beautiful sites of Van Long Nature Reserve and Kenh Ga Floating Village.

Itinerary

Activities: Take a boat trip around Van Long Nature Reserve and Kenh Ga Floating Market, and learn more about the local life there.

We will pick you up from your central Hanoi hotel at about 8 am and transfer you the two hours to Van Long Nature Reserve, signalling the start of your Van Long – Kenh Ga Floating Village tour.

Our one-and-a-half-hour boat trip around the wonderful marshland of Van Long will reveal pristine Ninh Binh beauty at its most natural, with limestone mountains, caves and a wide cast of animals living amid the trees, reeds and water.

Lunch at a local restaurant around 12 pm will be followed by a boat ride at Kenh Ga.

We will visit a floating fishing farm as well as the picturesque village of Kenh Ga, situated in the shadows of Ninh Binh’s iconic karst rocks on a canal run-off of the Boi River. The idyllic scene that greets us is one of the children swimming, water buffalo grazing and swathes of storks soaring through the air.

We will take the boat trip along the river for learning more about the local life there for about 1 hour and get back to the harbour for getting back to our car and take the transfer to Hanoi.

We head back to your hotel to end the Van Long – Kenh Ga Floating Village tour in the late afternoon. Incredible Asia Journeys offer our warmest gratitude for choosing this day trip from Hanoi with us, we hope to serve you again soon!
