1:30 PM: After lunch, embark on a 1.5-hour bamboo boat ride through Tam Coc. While the rice fields might not be as lush and vibrant outside the rice season ( from May to June), Tam Coc still offers breathtaking views with its tranquil waters and towering limestone peaks. The boat ride is a peaceful and scenic journey through caves and lush countryside, with a serene beauty that is just as captivating during the off-season.
