Tour description
Van Long Nature Reserve in Ninh Binh stands out with its peaceful, picturesque landscape of mountains and water. Van Long Nature Reserve is currently located in Gia Vien District, Ninh Binh Province, about 80 km from the capital city of Hanoi. This is a tourist attraction that draws many visitors thanks to its diverse biology and stunning limestone mountain ecosystem. In addition, it is home to more than 100 Delacour's langurs. Not only that, Van Long Lagoon is like a giant sky mirror reflecting a charming landscape painting, and was once chosen by Hollywood filmmakers as a prime filming location for key scenes in the blockbuster Kong: Skull Island. Perhaps it is thanks to these features that this ecotourism site always attracts large numbers of travel enthusiasts every year?

- Van Long Ecotourism Area – the largest wetland nature reserve in the Northern Delta, a filming location for the famous blockbuster Kong: Skull Island
- Kenh Ga Hot Spring, where you will have relaxing and refreshing moments, forgetting all the worries and fatigue of everyday life.

Hanoi - Van Long Wetland - Kenh Ga Meals (Lunch)
07:00 – 07:30 Car and tour guide pick you up at the meeting point, departing for Ninh Binh.
09:30 Arrive at Van Long Ecotourism Area, where you board a boat to begin the journey exploring the beauty of the largest wetland nature reserve in the Northern Delta. You will row through beautiful rows of reeds, rushes, and lush vegetation. If you are lucky, you may even spot white-rumped langurs playing on the limestone cliffs along the way.
Van Long Wetland boasts a diverse and unique ecosystem yet retains a very pristine beauty. Located less than 100km from Hanoi, this destination is currently one of Vietnam's tourism highlights. Coming to Van Long, visitors will take a boat tour and immerse themselves in the tranquil and somewhat untouched atmosphere here.
Afternoon: Enjoy lunch at a restaurant featuring Ninh Binh specialties.
Lua Vang Restaurant is less than 2km from the Van Long tourist area. Lua Vang is among the top 3 most visited restaurants by tourists when coming to Ninh Binh. Lua Vang is an ideal dining spot for families thanks to its polite and cozy ambiance. Notably, the restaurant's serving staff are selected based on high standards, winning over guests with their professional service style; their English communication skills are also one of the key factors attracting international visitors.
