Visiting Tam Cốc - Bích Động was truly a magical experience. The boat ride along the river, surrounded by stunning scenery, becomes even more breathtaking as you glide through fields of vibrant pink water lilies. It feels like stepping into a painting : peaceful, colorful, and absolutely unforgettable. Tourist Tip: Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds and, most importantly, to see the water lilies in full bloom. Once the sun rises higher, they begin to close… so the earlier, the better for the most magical view! The calm atmosphere, the reflections of the limestone mountains on the water, and the charm of the traditional rowing boats all contribute to a moment of pure serenity. If you’re in the Ninh Bình area, this is an absolute must-do. A beautiful, authentic, and picture-perfect experience that stays with you long after you leave.
A 💯% must see and is mandatory to be on every bucket list. Fantastic row on a flat bottomed punt through magnificent vistas and through watery tunnels carved by the water over millennia. It is spectacular to watch the boats men and women propel the punt along using oars controlled by their feet. One can only imagine the stress and strain in the hips.
What an amazing experience! Our row guide was amazing and took the best pics! Its definitely a must do while visiting Tam Coc. Also, do the hike and make sure to take a pic with the dragon at the top, but be careful, it is very sketchy up there.
A must do to experience the beauty and tranquility of Mother Earth. This absolutely awesome boat ride was manned by amazing women who use their feet to row the boat. The entire experience takes about 2 hours - be prepared with sun block, hat or umbrella and water because it gets hot. Soak in the majestic landscape of hills and mountains well known as the “inland ha long bay” amidst the tranquility of gliding along the calm waterways lush with water lilies in bloom if you get there early. The ride takes us into narrow caves with very low ceilings. We had to lower our heads to avoid bumping into the cave structures which are centimeters within reach. The expertise of our females rowers navigating through the extremely narrow passages were nothing more than astounding. Before the return journey starts we are offered aplenty local handicrafts to buy. Do bring cash along with you if you want to support the local community and also to tip them at the end of the ride. We took a day trip from Hanoi to Tam Coc; We left Hanoi at 645 and arrived at 830am, perfect timing as the weather was still cool. The cost per pax for the boat ride is 100k VND which was bought when we arrived. There were no queues and was very quick. We had to then choose our life jackets and straight to the boat from there.
It was a beautiful boat ride of around 1.5 hrs.When I went there was a typhoon so cave 3 & 4 were not functional otherwise it is a 2.5 hr boat ride.The view and the scenery is breathtaking.The lake is filled with roses and water lilies.They paddle the baot with their legs so that's fascinating. If you are planning to go for a baot ride at tam coc plan in the morning or evening otherwise it becomes very sunny and hot.carry loads of sunscreen,water and your camera
