Day 1: Hanoi – Tam Coc: The Limestone Labyrinth

our adventure begins at 7:30 AM as we depart from the bustle of Hanoi toward Ninh Binh province. By 10:00 AM, the landscape shifts into the majestic limestone kingdom of Tam Coc. We immediately hop on our bikes to commence a leisurely ride through the rural heartland.

You will pedal through the ancient alleys of Tam Coc village, where the fragrance of ripening rice fills the air. The route takes you through a stunning patchwork of paddy fields, with massive karst mountains towering above you at every turn. We provide plenty of stops for photos, allowing you to capture the timeless beauty of the Vietnamese countryside. After a traditional lunch in town, we trade our bikes for traditional sampan boats. For two hours, you will be dazzled as a local rower glides you through the "Three Lakes" (Caves). You will float through emerald waters, passing under low-hanging limestone arches and visiting an ancient temple hidden in the scenery, where you will learn about the region’s deep spiritual history.

Day 2: Tam Coc – Cuc Phuong National Park – Hanoi: The Jungle Frontier

After a fresh breakfast, we set off on a 30km panoramic cycling odyssey toward Cuc Phuong National Park. This is one of the most scenic segments in Northern Vietnam. Our route winds through sprawling pineapple plantations, where the vivid colors of the fruit and the red earth provide a striking contrast to the green mountains.

You will encounter the warm hospitality of the locals in remote valleys and villages, far away from the tourist crowds. Upon arrival at Cuc Phuong at noontime, we enjoy a hearty lunch at a local restaurant within the park. In the afternoon, the adventure continues with an immersive cycle under the dense jungle canopy.
