Itinerary

Day1

Arrival in Hanoi & Old Quarter Photo Walk

Arrive at Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi). Transfer to your centrally located hotel in the Hanoi Old Quarter. Afternoon at leisure. Late afternoon guided photo walk through the bustling streets of the Old Quarter, capturing street scenes, colonial architecture, and lively markets. Evening briefing with the guide about the photo-focus itinerary and sunrise plans.

Tip: Keep camera gear light for the walk and charge batteries for early starts.

Day2

Transfer to Ninh Binh — Hoa Lu & Tam Coc Boat Ride

Depart early by private car to Ninh Binh (approx. 2–2.5 hours). Visit Hoa Lu Ancient Capital — short walk among historic temple ruins and photo-friendly architectural details. After lunch, enjoy a peaceful Tam Coc sampan boat ride through winding waterways, rice fields, and karst cliffs — ideal for mid-day photography and close-up landscape compositions. Evening check-in to Ninh Binh hotel and optional golden-hour shoot nearby.

Important: Boat schedules are weather dependent; local operator may change starting times.

Day3

Trang An Scenic Boat Trip & Cycling Through Rice Paddies

Morning visit to Trang An Scenic Landscape (UNESCO) for a longer boat circuit through caves and dramatic karst formations — prime for panoramic and detail shots. After the boat trip, enjoy a leisurely cycling route through small lanes and rice paddies, stopping for portraits and landscape compositions. Sunset photo session at chosen vantage point.

Tip: Wear comfortable shoes for short hikes and bring a sun hat — shade is limited in open paddy fields.

Day4

Mua Cave Viewpoint & Van Long/Thung Nham Nature Reserve

Early ascent to the Mua Cave (Hang Múa) summit to capture sunrise and expansive panoramic views of the karst sea and river curves — excellent for wide-angle and telephoto shots. Return to the valley for breakfast, then choose between a boat/photography visit to Van Long Nature Reserve (calmer, wildlife-focused) or Thung Nham Bird Garden (seasonal birdlife). Late afternoon free for editing photos or optional portrait session in village settings.

Note: The Mua Cave climb involves many steps; plan for a steady 30–40 minute climb depending on stops.

Day5

Final Morning Shoot & Return to Hanoi (Departure)

Optional early-morning shoot for last light or misty river scenes (seasonal). After breakfast, check out and transfer back to Hanoi. Short stop on the way for final photos or local market visit, then arrive in Hanoi for afternoon departure or onward travel arrangements. Trip concludes with drop-off at the airport or central hotel.

Tip: Confirm departure logistics with your guide the evening before to ensure smooth transfer times.
