Welcome to Ninh Binh, Vietnam, a STUNNING province in the northern part of the country known for its striking limestone formations, caves, temples, and more. It is even nicknamed “Ha Long Bay on Land,” as it offers similar scenery. We spent two days exploring some of its top sights and loved every second!

Do you have a list of places & things you stayed & did in Ninh Binh that you can share with me? We’re going this summer and your videos are very helpful
Imagine being in these places 100 years ago as an explorer, adventurer. I look back now and I'm so glad I did my world traveling in the 70s. I remember there were no guidebooks at all. I am now in my 70s and planning soon to return to Vietnam for the third time.
My wife is from the Philippines, and she says that Vietnam reminds her of the philippines she wants to go to Vietnam, and so do I. Beautiful video guys.
The Philippines are definitely on our list to visit one day! Thanks and thanks for watching!
I’m loving your Vietnam series. Guess I need to add this country to my bucket list! Our family just returned from Death Valley National Park this week. Your guides and You Tube videos were very helpful! Thanks for great content!
Vietnam definitely needs to be on your list!
Oh that’s so awesome! We’re so glad to hear that! ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Adventurers, I've been watching your footage in beautiful Vietnam...WOW!!! Awesome boat rides and cave tours on a boat?? And walking all those tiring steps...and that delicious food you've been eating...WOW!! This was OUTSTANDING!!
The boat ride was spectacular! Cave tour from a boat! Heck ya!
Thanks, Al!
Vietnam is a gem for travelling and eating.
Yes indeed!
This country just gets better and better! So gorgeous! Thank you so much for taking us on the journey up ALL those STEPS!! What a fantabulous view! The food looks scrumptious and I was so tired by the time we (you) got back! lol The ride in the boat was beautiful as well. What an absolutely beautiful country!
Vietnam really blew us away! And the scenery gets even better from here on our trip! That hike wasn’t super long but it definitely was tiring! 😅
❤️
Trang An is a place that can help people return to their childhood. You should come to Trang An in the summer, feel the space, the breath here. Enjoy a cup of coffee on a summer afternoon by the fragrant lotus lake with a fishing rod. You will feel the pace of life slow down and enjoy it :)
That sounds real ice!
The video production keeps getting better. The aerial shots of the hills and great choice of the bungalow away from busy city. Vietnam country does a great job for outdoors trekkers. If you get the chance , not sure if you've video the old imperial capital Hue and also Luang Prabang, Laos (the spiritual capital of that country) for more street food and where the supposed peaceful people don't go to war or get aggressive...
Thank you so much!
We unfortunately didn’t have time for Hue on this trip, but it looked amazing! Next time!
What an absolutely gorgeous area of Vietnam! Those stairs were sure a great workout! Your hut was so cool…I loved it! You guys do such a great job showing wonderful places and make it so fun!
The hut was super comfy! Vietnam was such an amazing experience! ❤️❤️
❤❤❤🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
The views were absolutely stunning with the lush mountains and the boat ride looked so peaceful with beautiful formations inside the caves. I appreciate that you get out and explore and take us with you. Lots of steps to the top of the lookout. You two are in excellent shape and make it look so easy hiking, walking, bike riding all over the place. Love your videos.
Ninh Binh was the most scenic place we had been yet in Vietnam! So gorgeous there! Thank you and thanks for watching, Debbie! ❤️❤️
Incredible video, the views are astonishing!!! The Vietnam has peculiarities I never had seen. You both are blessed for enjoying this gorgeous scenario in first hand. I smiled all the time watching. 🤩👏👏👏👏
We are lucky and grateful we get to do what we do! Thanks and thanks for watching!
I was speechless. These are masterpieces of nature, extraordinary. Your video deserves 💯, thanks for the beautiful footage.

I loved the video and my favorite was the Karst formation mountains! So gorgeous! Looking forward to the rest of this series!
Those mountains are so interesting!
I love Trang An, I came there twice but still want to come back.
You guys have great shots
I honestly had no idea Vietnam was so beautiful! Now I wanna go! I love how y’all try to acclimate to the local way of life, hard to do in a brief period of time. 😊
your bungalow stay looked so dreamyyyy! thanks for bringing us along
It really was! Thanks for watching!
Such a beautiful place in Vietnam.
Your entire series from Vietnam has been wonderful but this episode was a favorite. You definitely added Ninh Binh to my must do list for whenever I make it to Vietnam.
Thank you so much! That's so awesome to hear!
One of the most memorable and beautiful videos you guys have made. Appreciate your efforts. Cheers!
Thank you so much! ❤
Love it great video if it looks that beautiful overcast I can only imagine it with blue skies!
Yeah! It was fun to have the moody skies, but seeing it in full blue sky would take it to another level I think!
The music during second temple and after is totally beautiful.
Thank you!
Another beautiful Vietnam video! Your content and videography was awesome.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful!
What a serene boat ride! I always love your drone shots. I am amazed that you knew which boat and bike to get when coming back to them!
The boat ride was spectacular and peaceful! The boat drivers were very helpful with that! They always spotted us!
Love your adventures in my homeland of vietnam. Wishing you a safe trip back to vietnam and make more wonderful videos. Be sure to visit beautiful Nha Trang where I was born.
Thank you so much! ❤
One of your best videos ever!!! Love the incredible scenery and your bungalow looks INCREDIBLE
❤
Really enjoyed this video and love your positive attitudes. Thanks for sharing and including the prices.
Thanks for watching!
Loving the Vietnam videos guys! 😍 Excellent job capturing the beauty of this country! We can’t wait to visit someday! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! ❤
I loved this! I liked where you stayed with the round bed, the bathroom with a bit of nature was neat! I liked the rice like cracker to dip in the soup. It sounded so good!
We had a blast in Ninh Binh!
Thanks for sharing
Fabulous. Your making me want to go there. Thanks Adam and Kathryn.😲👍😊🇻🇳
That's our goal! Thank you! ❤
Breathtakingly Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this and all your adventures! You both are adorable, interesting and professional! Thanks also for introducing schoandjoe to us. Loving their personalities and adventures as well!💞
Thank you so much! That is very kind! ❤️
i'm so happy to see the new upload, the editing skill is top notch esp the part you show the temple with the music (for a second, i thought i was watching a movie). Vietnam is so beautiful and glad both of you get to enjoy it, i hope this journey never end so we get to watch some more of the great adventures
Thank you so much!
Vietnam was everything we hoped it to be and more!
Great video
Nice bike, Adam. he he Thanks for the video! Looked like a fun one!
haha yeah I'm glad it held up for me on the journey! I should've checked the tires before I took off
Thanks, Bert!
Wow, watching this video was like a weird deja vu. We went to Ninh Binh in September, and we also stayed at the Trang An Lamia Bungalows, and even stayed in the same bamboo villa - though the one next to yours. We even hiked up to the top of Hang Mua in the morning to beat the crowds. The rocks up near the dragon were crazy sharp - I took a chunk of skin out of my big toe cause I was wearing flip flops. We even took the exact same route on the boat tour as you in Trang An. When you said it reminded you of a Disneyland ride, we were freaking out and laughing cause we said it reminded us of Pirates of the Caribbean.
We rode the exact same bikes you did, and I dropped mine with my dslr in the basket and it shattered the lcd screen. Thankfully Sony has and electronic viewfinder, so we could still use it the rest of the trip. It was really bizarre when we saw the b-roll of your camera in the same exact basket.
Seriously wild viewing. Awesome video!
HOW WILD! Now you can just watch our video to relive your trip!
Thanks for watching!
You all helped my wife and I plan our Venice trip with a lot of great tips. Thank you all for being informative, inspiring, and fun.
That is so awesome to hear! Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
INCREDIBLE! Every single part of this video was great, the mountains, hotels and cinematography were all brilliant. We are catching up on our A+K videos this morning and loving the Vietnam series!
Thank you, Gatewood! Means a lot coming from you!
Beautiful ❤️
A world apart from your North America adventures. Keep it up!
We LOVED our time in Vietnam and SE Asia!
Thank you! ❤️
Man that boat ride looks so cool.
It really was!
kathryn,you are so articulate,have an infectious enthusiasm and know how to transmit the local vibe to the viewers-thank you to you 2-i guess that you have done a lot of research to be able to pick the right places to stay
Thank you! ❤ your comment means a lot to us!
Wow what an amazing video :o That boat tour is something else tho. Makes us feel small in the hand of natural . Anw love from VN
The boat ride was spectacular! Thanks and thanks for watching!
amazing place!!
The editing / video prod is top tier 👏
thank you! ❤
WOW! Didn't realize Vietnam is that spectacular! 😍 I hope you'll love the Philippines, too, when you visit. 🇵🇭
We’re excited to visit one day!
Awesome!
epically stunning.
People travel for many reason not just for fun: For self-healing, exploring, etc. Anyways, by visiting Buddha is always welcoming, it's a good thing. My dad kept telling don't waste time visiting him, but he always happy to see me.
Video của bạn rất chất lượng với những góc quay. Âm nhạc đầy cảm hứng, mic thu rõ những âm thanh tiếng chim hót... Rất thiên nhiên rất tuyệt. Cảm ơn các bạn đã đến với đất nước Việt Nam chúng tôi. Hân hạnh chào đón ❤❤❤
You guys are life savers!!! Its my first time solo travelling and I was super confused on Ninh Binh how to explore...Super helpful
We're so glad we could help! Be sure to check out our website as well! We have tons more Vietnam content including detailed guides on Ninh Binh and all the other places we visited in Vietnam!

I miss Vietnam so much. Thankyou
Who has to go back and get the camera on all those stairs? Lol! Vietnam just moved to the top of my list of must see countries. Excellent video! 😍 (that fall at the end though 😅)
We usually take turns 😂
Vietnam was so amazing!
Those stairs were so slick! 😂
I was here in December 2023, great is a small word for this area. This is my favorite place in Vietnam
i will go to that place this year and i will follow your steps thanks for the video
Awesome...hope you enjoy it! Thanks and thanks for watching!
If you guys ever decide to come back to northern Vietnam, consider going to Pu Luong as I watched a video earlier from "Keith & Dev" and it is absolutely beautiful there! I'm sure you can find more things to do if you ever want to visit northern Vietnam again as there's still also Sapa, Ba Be Lake, Ha Long Bay, Cat Ba Island, and also look at Yen Tu where Hello Hunnay went on her last video in Vietnam, which was all mystical and magical!
We sure hope we can come back to Vietnam! We miss it so much! We'd like to see what we missed!
Your channel is great with very true historical knowledge, don't miss Cat Ba, Ha Long, Ha Giang, Mai Chau, Sapa, steep waterfalls, they have natural scenes and different food and architecture from In the fifth region, there is a very interesting culture of other ethnic groups
We unfortunately didn't have time to visit all of those places, but we did get to do lots of fun stuff! Thanks for watching!
I’m sorry it took me 4 days to get to this video, but WOW it was worth the wait! Beautiful boat ride, temples, caves and your accommodations incredible!!! Curious of your” Bike” adventure coming up! Always love the bloops! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊
It was a beautiful time!
We’re super excited for the big bike adventure later this year!
Thank you so much for watching!
What amazing scenery!! WOW!! The boat tour, route 3, looked rather busy but I can see why it is popular. I am curious how many Americans you've encountered on this trip, or where many of the tourists are from. Thanks for the wonderful trip. Until next time... Travel safe.
The boat ride was awesome! We went as early as we could so we could avoid as much of the crowds as we could. From what we read the small crowds we encountered were nothing compared to how crowded it can get
We didn’t encounter very many Americans. There were a decent amount of Aussies and Europeans though
Thanks!
❤❤❤ rất đẹp. Một video tuyệt vời
Thank you!
My parents were SO excited to meet you guys in Vietnam!! Thanks for saying hi to them and taking a picture with them! They love your channel! They always tell me that you guys remind them of me and my boyfriend 😂
It was so great to meet them as well!
Thank you so much i’m from Vietnam 🥰
now you make me want to travel to Vietnam.... love Ninh Binh
That’s the plan! 😊
WOW again!!
You two climb the mountain very well
💪💪
Wooooooow! it's like the jungley version of the Grand Canyon and Zion. 😍 #nowonmylist
You gotta go!
Thank you very much for staying here with my family
We had a WONDERFUL stay! Thank you!
Great videos ... i did the same 2 activities. I did #2 Tran An, and climbed to the dragon head. The Mua Cave was a small Cave to the right. There was also a walkway over the lilies...Ninh Binh is similar to Yangshuo/Guilin China.... my favorite karst scenery.
That's awesome! It's so beautiful out there. We hope to visit that area of China some day!
@Adventures of A+K Another favorite that I visited was Zhangjiajie (Avatar mountains filmed there). China is opening and so many great sceneries. The borders of Vietnam and China has the Detian waterfall.
It looks so clean and neat with no graffiti. It is so beautiful but I couldn't take the heat!!!!!!!!!!!! The food looks absolutely amazing. I would never be able to figure out their currency!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video.
The currency took a bit to get used to, but once you get it in your head that 25,000 is about 1 USD then it's pretty easy. The hardest part is figuring out the bills! The 20,000 note is the same color as the 500,000 so you've gotta remember not to hand someone a huge bill instead of the smaller!
I bet the heat would be brutal in the summer!
Thanks, John!
