Trang An Grottoes tour, Ninh Bình, Vietnam trip - Trang An Grottoes Day trip - Mua Caves - Grad Walk - Cruising through Trang An Grottoes in Ninh Binh, Vietnam Travel Videos HD, World Travel Guide http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=World1Tube Trang An Grottoes, (7 km from Ninh Binh), An easy bicycle ride away, Trang An Grottoes is similar to Tam Coc but with many more caves to pass through. Most caves have been widened in order for the boats to pass through and as result their natural beauty has been compromised. The first two caves are the most natural and beautiful but are also tight in places, so watch your head. Lots of concrete structures are being built all over the place and rice paddies are disappearing fast but hopefully this area will not lose its splendor. The site was mainly built for Vietnamese and Chinese tourists. However, you are much less likely to be bothered by vendors selling beverages and hand embroidered gifts. As with Tam Coc it is best to go early in the morning or in late afternoon (last boat is 4pm) to avoid the buses of tour groups coming from Hanoi. Ride takes about 3 hours with short couple stops to visit some temples. Each boat leaves with 4 people, but will leave with more or fewer depending on the demand. 15,000 parking fee for bikes, but you could park them near some restaurants just next to the parking if you are willing to take a little risk 150,000 per person. Trang An Grottoes Reviewers ======================== The boat driver will suggest you 2 different ways to travel. First is longer take 3,5 hrs pass about 9 small caves and temple. Second take about 2.5 hrs also pass about 9 caves some same and some different caves of 1st trip but you have chance to see the place to film King skull island. Trang an grottoes is amazing and I like this. I visited there few time. The price to take a boat is 200.000 vnd (about 9$) ---------------------------------- We book the whole boat to ourselves for 1 hour 40 min ride. The boat can easily sit up to 10pax. It's cost vnd550,000(usd$27) or vnd 45,000 (usd$2.00)per person. Nice scenic ride of the caves and mountains and the history of one of their famous king that resided there many years ago. There is a cd given to you for explanation (English is available). There is also a tour guide explaining but in local language. ---------------------------------- At awe with the beautiful un-touch sceneries. The boat tour was great. You can ask to skip scenic stops or go to every of them. ---------------------------------- Most beautiful place we've visited in Vietnam so far. Started around 9 in the morning, wich is the perfect time if weather conditions are good. The scenery of this area is breathtaking. It's definitely a tourist spot, but they are quite efficient in accommodating the crowds. Must visit if you're in Ninh Binh ---------------------------------- Awesome experience, majestic mountains! Going through the caves under huge mountains manoeuvred skillfully by the local lady rowing our boat was a unique experience making it our favourite of all the things we did in Vietnam. ---------------------------------- Breathtaking views. We were on January so weather was not the best one. But anyway it was worth it. Się to the fact that we have a little time we booked a trip from Hanoi. Cost 30$. On the way to trang an we stopped on Pagoda Temple - amazing. Then we went to Trang an on bamboo boat trip. Was cool. We went through 8-9 caves. Great experience. :)) ---------------------------------- We were a group of four and was lucky to have the boat to ourselves without having to share. We reached around 10am and it was fairly quiet, with another another boat who was having their wedding photoshoots taken! The place is real tranquil and quiet with great view, it is indeed Halong Bay on land. After 30 minutes or so, the scenery is qutite repetitive and it is really butt-aching to be seated on this cramped thing for almost 2 hours. Towards the end of the trip, they lady rowing the boat asked for tips. We have already expected it, so we happily passed her the tip we prepared in advance. However, the lady pestered for more money for the last 20 mins of the ride, which can get quite frustrating. I would suggest to bring some snacks and drinks along, so at least you can have something to do towards the end of the ride when you get bored and tired. ---------------------------------- Lovely boat cruise with friendly guide. The grottoes are gorgeous. A little dark amd mysterious in places, and also well lit and almost hand carved in their intricacy in others. Lovely way to spend a few hours in Ninh Binh Tràng An Tp.
