“Abseiling down the waterfall and jumping off the cliff made me conquer my fears! Lunch was absolutely fresh and delicious”

English-speaking guides such as Quy, Su, Ace, Andy, Vinh, and Tin Tin have led past departures. Elephant Waterfall is currently closed, so confirm its status before booking.
“I was very hesitant at first. Basically booked for convenience of having a driver get me to the falls. However between a great group and an incredulous guide Quy (pray I spell it correctly) it was a brilliant day. The guide delivered a copious amount of information in a casual manner that made the day breeze by. A million thanks.”

The vehicle, guide, water, and attraction tickets are included, but jeep, cable car, lunch, and toboggan rides cost extra.
“Great tour as covers all the key locations and gives sufficient time to explore and take pictures. It would be preferred if the strawberry farm was not included as there were no strawberries and it was not an exciting stop. This took a bit too long in my opinion but otherwise a great tour.”

Travel from Hanoi to northern Vietnam’s Ban Gioc Waterfall on a two-day guided trip with hotel pickup, a cave visit, mountain viewpoints, pagoda walks, local meals, and one night in a basic Cao Bang hotel. Guides such as Freddy, Quick, David, and Tutu have led this route. Expect long, winding drives, small-town comforts, and superb scenery.
“Ban Gioc Falls has been on my bucket list for years, and I was so thankful for the opportunity to visit with Tutu as my guide. During the 2-day 1-night journey, we visited Ban Gioc Falls, a Tiger Cave (Dong Nguöm Ngao), a local market, Dragon’s Eye Mountain (Núi Mắt Thần), and a knife-making village. The falls were absolutely stunning with crystalline blue waters, and it was refreshing to breathe in the crisp mountain air of Northern Vietnam. An added bonus, the 360-degree panoramic views and tranquility at Dragon’s Eye Mountain were potentially the highlight of my 2 1/2 week Vietnam itinerary. While the trip does involve a lot of…”
