Tripadvisor, the world's largest travel guidance platform, has just announced its top 25 Best Nature and Outdoor Experiences in the world, including three tours in Vietnam.
Visitors can take a boat tour to savour scenic views of Tam Coc - Bich Dong cave in Ninh Binh
Accordingly, a full-day tour from Ha Noi to Hoa Lu, Tam Coc, and Mua Cave in northern Ninh Binh province via boat and bike ranked third on the list.
Tripadvisor said that with a local lunch of goat meat, fried rice, and local fruits onboard, visitors will be fueled for an afternoon of action, taking in the gorgeous scenery by both bamboo boat and mountain bike.
“See local villagers going about their daily lives as you come to appreciate a quieter slice of Vietnamese culture,” it added.
Earlier, the Daily Mail of the UK also named Ninh Binh on the list of Top 10 less-visited wonders in the world, while financial magazine Forbes of the United States listed the Vietnamese destination among its leading 23 best places to travel around the world in 2023.
Meanwhile, a canyoning tour of Da Lat, a tourist resort in the Central Highlands, ranked 12th on the list of Tripadvisor’s top 25.
The travel guidance platform suggested that visitors should experience the thrilling power of nature by taking on a full-day of canyoning down the various waterfalls and rapids in the town.
“Adrenaline and nature lovers alike will love this group canyoning tour, where experienced outdoor adventure guides will lead you on an unforgettable trip down a series of thundering waterfalls in the jungle,” it noted.
