Why you should take a Trang An boat tour<\/h2>\n

1. Admire the breathtaking scenery<\/h3>\n

\"Amazing<\/p>\n

I find the scenery at Trang An boat tour very similar to Halong Bay – tall, round mountains with lush vegetation, surrounded by water. With every turn, the boat ride uncovers more and more stunning landscapes. From time to time, birds fly and sing peacefully. Everything about this place is magical.<\/p>\n

Many Vietnamese people living in the Ninh Binh Province<\/a><\/strong> rely heavily on tourism as their main source of income, including the locals who row the boats.

About Trang An boat tour<\/h2>\n

\"Trang
\nThe first thing you will see when entering the site will be a big map with the 3 tour options. Each tour has a different route and it will take you to different caves and temples. However, no matter which route you choose, the tour price and duration are the same. Read below more details:<\/p>\n

1. Route 1 – 9 caves, 3 temples<\/h3>\n

This route is designed for those passionate about geology. It is the only tour that will take you through that many caves.<\/p>\n

2. Route 2 – 4 caves, 3 temples<\/h3>\n

This route is the most balanced one with a fair number of caves and temples to visit.<\/p>\n

3. Route 3 – 3 caves, 3 temples<\/h3>\n

If you want to enjoy the limestone mountains, then this route is definitely for you. Most of the tour will be out in the open air.<\/p>\n

\"Ninh<\/p>\n

The ticket office is right on the left side of the map (the one from the picture above). Each boat can accommodate maximum 4 people and the price per person is 200,000 VND.<\/p>\n

If you are a group of 2 you will have to look for some partners to fill the empty spots. If you don’t find anybody, you will have to pay the full price of 800,000 VND per boat. However, I would’t stress too much about it as the influx of tourists at Trang An boat tour is very high.<\/p>\n

Evey boat has one guide\/ rower who sits in the back of the boat. Although the boat tour is safe, make sure to put your life jacket on before starting the tour.<\/p>\n
