Tour Overview
This 3-day group tour takes you from Hanoi to the stunning Ba Be National Park. Here you can discover Ba Be Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake in Vietnam, which also features incredible biodiversity, stunning geological treasures and gorgeous primary forests. In places like this, careless tourism can bring human disturbances and endanger the local heritage and culture, while thoughtful and responsible tourism can provide excellent support to conservation projects in the area and help the economies quality of life of the local population. Here at Mr Linh’s Adventure we take this responsibility seriously, and can promise you a great time exploring virtually untouched natural beauty, including lakes, caves, mountains and jungles.
