Select the Right Car for Your Group

Profile

Couples and solo travellers This vehicle is chosen by couples heading to Tam Coc for a day trip or overnight stay. It provides a private and quiet space to rest after the long boat ride through the limestone caves and ancient temples.

→ Standard Sedan (EV) · $59

Profile

Small families with luggage Small families find the SUV ideal for the journey to the Bai Dinh pagoda complex where extra legroom is appreciated. The higher clearance is useful for navigating the smaller rural roads that lead to more remote homestays in the countryside.

→ Comfort SUV (EV) · $65

Profile

Small groups and photographers Friends travelling together to climb the five hundred steps of Mua Cave find the minibus most efficient. The large boot easily handles multiple suitcases and camera equipment needed for photographing the panoramic views of the Ngo Dong river.

What our drivers know about this route

Road Decision We utilise the CT01 Phap Van – Cau Gie expressway for the entire journey because it is the fastest link. We avoid the old QL1A road which passes through many small towns with restrictive speed limits and heavy motorbike traffic. The transition at the Liem Tuyen exit is the standard path to reach Ninh Binh city. Once in the province, we use the DT491 to reach the limestone karsts.
Operational Reality Friday afternoon and Sunday evening traffic is the biggest challenge due to weekend travellers leaving or returning to Hanoi. The Phap Van interchange often sees heavy congestion which can add thirty minutes to the trip. Heavy rain in the summer months occasionally causes slow-moving traffic on the CT01 expressway. We monitor these bottlenecks in real-time to adjust our departure times.
Seasonal Notes The best months are March to May for green rice paddies and September to November for cooler hiking weather. Heavy tropical downpours in July and August can reduce visibility on the expressway.
Pickup & Drop-off Specifics Most hotels in Ninh Binh are located in narrow lanes around Tam Coc which only allow access for sedans and SUVs. Larger minibuses may need to park fifty metres away from the lobby at certain homestays. In Hanoi, pick-ups are door-to-door, including the narrow streets of the Old Quarter.

What passengers say about this route

★★★★★

The driver was waiting for us at our Hanoi hotel early in the morning. We reached the Tam Coc wharf in well under two hours which allowed us to beat the big crowds. The road near the city exit was quite busy with motorbikes but the rest of the journey was very smooth. This was a reliable way to travel south with our heavy suitcases and backpacks.

★★★★★

Our return journey from the countryside was easy and the SUV had plenty of space for four people. We saw many interesting rice fields along the Phap Van expressway before entering the city traffic. The toll gates had a short queue which added a few minutes to our total travel time. It was much better than taking the public bus with all our shopping.

★★★★★

Travelling in a larger group meant we needed the van for our day trip to the ancient capital. We stopped at a large rest station where the coffee was very strong and the snacks were local. The drive through the Ninh Binh railway station area was quick and the vehicle was very clean. We arrived back in the city just as the sun was setting over the buildings.
