Top Northern Vietnam Bird Watching

With limited public transit and minimal English spoken, a guided tour is the best way to discover the magical tranquility of Pu Luong Nature Reserve. This private door-to-door tour includes a sightseeing stop in Mai Chau Valley, two nights homestay accommodation—one in a stilt house—seven meals, and trekking on each of the three days. Learn about local life as you stay with minority families: you can even join their activities.

Visit Bai Dinh Pagoda to see hundreds of Buddhist statues and take a sampan boat trip along Trang An River on this tour. Your boat will be steered by local people, so you can relax and enjoy stunning scenery including rising limestone cliffs, water caves, and more. Included hotel pickup and drop-off make, plus lunch at a local restaurant, make this a convenient day trip from Hanoi.
