8:00-08:30 AM – Meet your guide at your hotel in Tam Coc, Trang An or Ninh Binh city and begin your journey through the countryside, peaceful rural roads, rice fields, villages, and limestone landscapes. Enjoy several short photo stops along the way.
10:00 AM – Arrive at Suoi Gio, a peaceful natural escape away from the main tourist routes. Escape the typical tourist circuit for the hidden paradise of Suoi Gio. This "secret" waterfall is tucked away in a vibrant green forest, offering a serene and refreshing alternative to the busier sites.
