- Welcome back to another video in our Vietnam series! This is second video in a 3 part series showing you all the best things to do in Tam Coc, Trang An, and Ninh Binh.
If you missed part one you can watch it here: • INCREDIBLE DAY in TAM ...
In our last video we explored Tam Coc by bicycle. We were able to see Bich Dong Pogada , Tam Coc city, and the beautiful countryside. In today’s video we decided to rent motorbikes, to be able to access a few of the sites that are farther away. Most of the home stays in Tam Coc have bicycles and motorbikes available to rent.
We visit, Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam during the 10th and 11th centuries. Hoa Lu has a wide range of historical landmarks to explore. Its location amidst the limestone cliffs is beautiful and the site makes for a lovely stroll.
We then took the boat ride at Linh Coc called the Hai Nham boat ride. It turned out to be a calm and peaceful river ride. It was in a beautiful environment filled with water lilies, ducks, and beautiful natural caves that kept us captivated the entire time! This is a much more tranquil version of the boat ride that is available to take in Trang An. Stay tuned because we will show you the Trang An boat tour in next weeks video!

Ninh Bình is the place where Hollywood shot the movie “ King Kong : Skull Island “ with Samuel Jackson. The nature there is still intact. It’s a beautiful place. There is national park nearby. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. Have fun and stay safe !
Been there back in 2018 I miss Vietnam
That’s awesome! Thank you so much 💖🤗
@@SammyandTommy yeah 🇺🇸❤🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳:))
Awesome video. So, a bit of background story about Hoa Lu, the old capital that you visited. In the first millennium, Vietnam was colonized by imperial china. Then in 938, we won our independence. The country was young and vulnerable then, so the King decided to place the capital in Hoa Lu. As you can see, the limestone mountain ranges are like natural border walls, help protect the capital from potential invasion of china. After about 70 years, Vietnam grew bigger and stronger. The small valley of Ninh Binh could no longer support the growing population, the King decided to move the capital to Ha Noi. The land there is more vast and the soil is more fertile, which is necessary to grow the country even bigger. It's also our statement to china, saying that "we're no longer hiding in the mountains because we ain't afraid of you anymore".
Amazing comment! Thanks for the great background! Wish we could add this to the video!
Never leave Vietnam! You guys look so comfortable there and truly appreciate every part of that beautiful country!! Thank you
Thank you! That means a lot 🤗 we felt like we really got to know Vietnam 💖
Khen hơi quá hehe
wow wow.... OMG... gorgeously beautiful.....🤟💌🍀🏩🧤
I had really wonderful memories en Ninh Binh district 🇻🇳🤩 nostalgic video for me hehe enjoy Vietnam is amazing 🤩
Did you guys hike to the top of the mountain in ninh binh?
@@MegaHuichen yep it was like a magic 🤩
@@MarWanshNomad I always marvel at the people whom climb to the top where the dragon is and do drone shots. Charl & Christine did a great aerial of them on top.
How can you not have an awesome time in this area! So glad we could bring back some good memories! Thanks for watching 👊
Everything you need is to go to Sapa, Hoi An, Da Nang, Hue, Nha Trang, Da Lat, Phu Quoc, Vinh Moc tunnel -Quang Tri ,( Ta Con Airport ) - Khe Sanh - Quang Tri, Son My Relic - Quang Ngai, ngã 3 Đồng Lộc ( Fork copper fortune ) - Ha Tinh, The most must-go place in Ho Chi Minh is Nha Rong harbour, Independence Palace, Cu Chi and more ... If you like my opinion then go ahead with the adventure!! :))))
Đi vào mùa tháng 5 nhìu đồng lúa đẹp tuyệt vời
chúng tôi sẽ trở lại!
Look natural and beautiful country. Good luck and stay safe!
Thanks so much! You stay safe too 💜
Tam Coc (Ninh Binh) is one of my favorite place in Vietnam 🇻🇳
it's my favourite place too. I've been there so many times :)))
We can see why 😍 It's one of our favorite places as well!
The bike to drone shot transition at 10:06 was epic. Again, another great video.
Thanks Shawn 👊 Haha glad you enjoyed it! Sammy actually wanted me to cut it and I forget about it and ran out of time so glad it made the final product 😂
Ninh Binh is wonderful, I stayed in Ninh Binh in 3 days and I stayed at Phi Hung's Unique homestay. Fantastic with owner, truly local, room is clean and very cheap. About only 12$.
Pagoda : worships Buddha
Temple : worships kings and people. Cool facts!
Very nice Videos 2 of your Enjoy too much in Vietnam make me
Hurry to come back Vietnam 🇻🇳
For this year might be August..
Hope 2 of you always happy &
Healthy in Vietnam 🇻🇳..from Houston Texas USA 🇺🇸 ❤️ Vietnam 🇻🇳

Cảm ơn bạn và gia đình đã du lịch Đất Nước VN chúng tôi. Hy vọng bạn có trãi nghiệm tuyệt vời và sự thân thiện mến khách của người dân VN
Chúng tôi đã có kinh nghiệm tốt nhất! cảm ơn vì đã xem!
Did this same exact boat tour. Usually there's 4 people per boat and the tour guide, but me and my budy paid extra just to have the boat to ourselves. We felt bad so I had my buddy who is also vietnamese ask her if we can take over paddling the boat while she rested. At the end of the boat tour, we gave her a huge tip.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing! They deserve the huge tip!
Hope you all have a great time and enjoy Vietnam
Always! Thanks for sharing!
I noticed that you made the video before Corona time because the masks were missing. November 2019, I was in Hà Nội for a week, shortly after that it started. I was here, Đinh Tiên Hoàng Temple, when I was a pupils . Hoa lư was the first capital of Bắc Việt Rase, but I'm born in another capital, i.e. Hà nội. Hoàn Kiêm Lake is my sacred place, that's where I hang out when I'm wasting school. Still, if I had an army, I'd take Halong first. Your Crew is great, you seem was open for every fun.
Wow she can paddle with her feet !! And Vietnam is so beautiful !!
It’s very impressive how coordinated and powerful they are while rowing with their feet 🤯 Thabks for commenting!
Ninh Binh 'Halong Bay on land' We must have done the same trip. Your drone footage & your flora & fauna photography in slowmo is excellent. I bet you're happy you bought those gloves, it's those little things that make a difference👌🖐
We must both have good taste 😉 Really appreciate your comments! It's all about the little things while traveling and the gloves worked out perfect! Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous shots and editing as ALWAYS! Those crowds were nuts...we see three people in a line we're like"Nah, too many people" 🤣🤣 Is this the first time Tommy has busted out the WASU gear or have I just never noticed?? As long as it's not purple and gold you're good with me 🤣🤣🦆🦆🦆🦆 The boat tour in this was definitely our style. The first one you did a couple videos back (or maybe last week?) was cool, but this one looked just perfect! Only downside is how cold it was for you guys...we're like, "looks pretty but we're DONE with the cold" 🤙🤙 All the best from us !
Thanks so much guys! GO COUGS! We are on the same page on purple and gold 😂 We agree this was our favorite boat tour we did in this area. The temperature was perfect for me but Sammy would have liked it a little warmer. Hope traveling is treating you guys well!
Vietnamese student studying abroad in Canada here. I found your video on CZcams and have been watching all of your videos about Vietnam for an hour lol. Your content and the way you are filming is amazing! Keep it up and I am waiting for more contents like this from you guys!
Comments like these push us to keep creating and improving so thank you for the encouragement 👊 Hope your studies are going well in Canada! Thanks for sharing!
Personally, I think I love Ninh Binh more than Ha Long Bay. Years ago, I watched someone go up to the top of the mountain with the dragon on top and show aerial footage of the area and it took my breath away. Since then, every video I've seen convinces me this place is just magical!! The homes and buildings right up to the karsts (mountains just aren't as cool since they gradually get larger, whereas bam! the karst is right there and you can see the scale up close). I love how the whole city is surrounded by such beauty and would love a home there.
Vietnam could be better if the people stopped littering indiscriminately. I guess littering indiscriminately runs in the blood; even the Vietnamese who live overseas.
@@nocancelcultureaccepted9316 Littering is bad, for sure. And the government need to start campaigns to curb that, but also provide proper trash service. This Vietnamese doesn't litter indiscriminately and HATE seeing people in the US litter (I believe people should be harshly punished for it over here as it's something I really hate)...my neighbors and people around me aren't Vietnamese since I don't live in a Vietnamese community (the neighborhood is more white than anything and it's not the same volume of trash, but since we have trash service and receptacles all over)...therefore your comment is a wee bit general. At least the Viets aren't gun-toting violent mass murderers, serial killers, child molesters, rapists, etc. It's all relative, right? Maybe it's the newly arrived FOBs doing it, but those whom grow up in the US don't.
They are both truly magnificent! If I had to choose I would agree with you! Much more adorable and so many things to do in a small area! Thanks for being here 🤗

Every morning, When I wake up and watch you video. It literally remind me of my hometown. It's been 7 years, I couldnt come back Vn but still missing it. Hope u have joyful time in Vietnam
Love fron Canada 🇨🇦
So glad we could remind you of your hometown! Hopefully you can visit soon🤞Thanks for the great feedback friend!
Hello from California, I really your trip. The area is so peaceful and relaxed. I really the background music. You did a great job. :)
Hello 👋 Thank you so much for the sweet compliments! Hope you're doing good in sunny California ☀️
Peaceful
💯
It’s so cool that you rode the motorbikes through the countryside.
Check out One Pack Wanderers, they are going all over Vietnam right now on their motorbikes. Tia learned to ride on the trip like Fin did a few years ago (of the Tim and Fin channel). They did an amazing caving video last week that I so want to do as it was dangerous and exhilarating looking.
It's always fun to get on a scooter and see the scenery 😍 Thanks for watching!
That's very smart of you to avoid the tourist heavy place. I have one pet peeve when I travel is to avoid crowded, touristy places and favor support small local people. You get just as good experience if not even more pleasant surprise. They always said it is about the journey not the destination. I tried to find some local hidden that less famous and not many people often visit
It worked out perfectly for us! We got lucky with the quiet and peaceful boat ride! Thanks for sharing Mr. Q!
It is so much fun to ride a scooter in vietnam!!! It is very good to support the locals who suffer a lot hardship from Covid 19 pandemic!
I've thought the trip was in 2019 which was prior to COVID19 outbreak in vn. I plan to go there in late 2022. Hopefully, all local services are back to normal
That saleswoman is my biological aunt. Thank you for entering the office and I am a born in Ninh Binh. Currently living in Japan!❤❤❤❤
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing 😃
I traveled Ninh Binh in May 2022, and I'm from the South of Vietnam, so when I went there, I'm so excited. The scenery is so beautiful and peaceful. When I watched your video, I just feel like I'm in it again. Thank for coming to Vietnam and have a nice trip. 😍
It is such a special place! So glad we could bring you back again! Thanks for sharing 💜
I enjoy watching you guys and your parents touring Vietnam. I love the exchange of the "I know the difference between a temple and a pagoda" question. Would like to see more of Mom and Dad interactions, they are so funny. You both have similar humors.
Haha we love having them in our videos too! We feel blessed to be able to travel with them 💖🤗 thank you!
Việt Nam xin chào gia đình bạn! 🇻🇳 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
xin chào 👋
Very good video, I can't miss any moment
Thank so much ☺️ So glad you enjoyed it!
Would you mind sharing the name/location of this quaint little boat ride you did? I heard you mention some names in the video but nothing came up in my Google searches… I will be in Ninh Binh next week with my family and would like to avoid the crowds. I enjoyed watching your videos - you don’t fluff things up and share a more genuine experience. I live in Vietnam so I can tell 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
It looks like Vietnam is the country that lots of tourists are tempted ride the motorbikes like all the locals to have joyful experience and such a feeling of freedom on the road. From Canada, thanks for the nice video.
Many thanks. My wife was born more than 70 years near Tam Coc. We visited Ninh Binh 3 times. We planned to go there again in March 2020 but couldn't because of Covid . Looks like we won't be able to go again because we can't bring a hospital with the trip for my wife.
What a magnificent place!
Thank you, guys!
Our pleasure! Glad you are enjoying 😁
Great tour and the scenes! I love my country even more with your videos. Thanks Sammy and Tommy👍! Enjoy our country 👏👏👏
Thank you, we absolutely loved it! 🥰
Another beautifully done video, guys! Kudos to you for capturing everything so perfectly! Would love to see you visiting Ninh Binh during the warmer months when things are greener or during the fall when it's gold or whatever color the rice fields turn. I bet you can capture that area in all it's beauty since you guys are so talented with your cameras and editing now. :)
Thanks so much! We will definitely come back to see it during the different seasons! Can’t imagine how beautiful it must look 😍 Thanks for the great compliments! Really appreciate it!
Wow, amzing NINH BINH, VIETNAM
@10:02👍😍❤ Happy family. You always make beautiful footages. Thanks for share and enjoy your trips in Vietnam.
We really appreciate it! We loved our time in Vietnam 😍 Thanks for watching!
Ninh Bình quê tôi tuyệt đẹp, nhiều thắng cảnh hùng vĩ
Just wow!!! Love all the slomo shots. It brings in the peaceful vibe of the place 😍
Glad you like it! 😊 This boat ride was so peaceful after a hectic morning!
This is another road, it is so beautiful and unspoiled. Great experience.
It was an awesome day 😄 Thanks for being here!
Oh man, I really enjoy watching you guys' videos. Tam Coc is beautiful. Thank you for showing us beautiful sceneries.
Our pleasure! Thank you so much 🤗💜
ninh bình vào các mùa khác nhau đều rất đẹp.ngay chính người việt nam chúng tôi cũng rất thích
chúng tôi không thể chờ đợi để trở lại và xem tất cả trong một mùa giải khác!
I know Tet is a very big deal in Vietnam, but I was really surprised at all the bikes and vans at your first attempt.
We couldn't believe it how busy it was 🤯 It was so nice to have the chance to visit with so many locals though! Thanks for watching Tom
Nice trip. Have a great time!!
Thank you! Will do 😃
Tommy and Sammy,
You guys are really explored Vietnam. You have fun and adventures too...i guessed.
Most of all, I admire you for taking your parents along with you. God bless you🙏
Yes we explored quite a bit of Vietnam but we still have so much more to explore! Thanks so much for watching 💜
So beautiful and peace. Tks Tom & Sam
Thank you! 🥰
Sammy is so pretty, and Tommy..well uhmm.. .. hes handsome too.. wishing both of you a great future... mom and dad are beautiful tooo...
🤣Sammy is indeed very pretty, but after someone made a comment about a quokka, I cannot unsee it (I had to google what quokka even is!). 🤣😂😂
hahaha... but she's a cute quokka..
Haha thanks so much Tim! You’re too sweet ☺️ Thanks for being here!
Haha why is it true 😂
Wow... Absolutely stunning. I think this is your best video yet. I don't usually comment but watch all your videos. You guys make awesome content. Love it. 👍👍
Wow, thank you Marc! So happy to hear the great feedback!
Thanks a lot for the beautiful video sharing. The scenery is absolutely stunning !
Many thanks! It's such an amazing place! Appreciate the love 💜
So proud of Vietnam
I always appreciate your videos and your genuinely kindness. It's so satisfying to enjoy your efforts of making such professional footages, right angles, on spot techniques of shooting. The only thing i wish to be different is the little short of historical aspect of the two temples (Hoalu), they are the proofs for the glorious and fascinated dawn of the nation. But your work is already outstanding!
Thank you so much for representing our country to the eyes of the world ❤️
Thanks so much for the great feedback and ways you would like to see us improve! Really appreciate you and feedback like this!
Great video. You have a pleasant lovely family. Your family seem to be appreciated life and enjoy the moment. Thanks for sharing Sammy and Tommy.
Thanks so much James! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video 💜 Thanks for commenting!
Kudos to your brilliant music choice. Can't believe I'm blasting thrill watching a place I'd been to a couple of times before.
Thanks so much! Music is always the most time consuming part of the edit so I appreciate it!
What an exciting and inspiring travel video...a combination of natural beauty, local wisdom and amazing personal interaction... Thank you for sharing the travel vlog...stay safe and keep healthy 😊👌👍👍
Thanks for such a great comment ☺️ So happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Thanks for being here 🤗
Amazing place very Unique and special and beautiful photography. Thank you for Sharing.
Really appreciate it Eli! Thank you for watching 🙏
Nice and beautiful view along this journey🤙👌
It's unbelievable the amount of people that showed up for the boat ride. That would ruin it for me, too. But you guys did such a great job finding a perfect, quiet, peaceful, tranquil location. I've never seen water lilies on the boat rides and that river was full of them! Didn't know they can grow when it's that cold, either. You guys got some great shots all over and I love how low those caves were! That rickety bridge was totally cool, too!
Thanks so much! We lucked out going from those huge crowds to finding a hidden spot almost to ourselves! It turned out to be out favorite boat tour so everything worked out like it should. We loved stumbling upon the bridge and water wheel! What a beautiful area 😍
What's the name and location of this boat tour !? I can't seem to find it.
Great video, folks! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks so much! 😃
Welcome to Ninh Bình, my hometown ! Besides Trang An and Tam Coc, Ninh Bình owns a wonderful swamp called as Van Long with an amazing 5-star resort next to the swamp. During winter and spring, migrated birds can be found by thousands around Van Long swamp. This is my most favorite place in Ninh Binh ... 😁
Thanks for the great recommendation! I love hearing the locals favorite places 💜
Incredible you guys made it to Ninh Binh, thank you for showing me what is on offer - I now need to show my parents this video and see what they remember and if they recognize any of the places you guys visited, can't wait to hear their stories too.. thank you once again you guys, you guys absolutely rock - keep up the fantastic work showing what vietnam has to offer and I'm so happy that I was suggested to this channel and hope it grows as it has grown on me
Thanks so much Vu 👊 Let us know if your parents had any interesting tidbits! Thanks for the great comments!
@@SammyandTommy for sure you guys, I'll be seeing them very soon.. thank you once again and following me on Instagram, did you guys get my message I sent you on there??
It’s about time you and your family should move back to VN. The war had been over for 48 yrs now. VN is fast growing economy requires all the talents it can get. Got back to help your country.
You guys are adventurers.
Thank you very much for filming our Country, have fun n besafe you guys. , our Country so beautifull.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching 💜
Wow you guys really found your way out of the crowds 😮😮... Stunning caves, so peaceful and majestic! 😊😊
We got lucky to find this one 🍀 It ended up being our favorite boat ride!
@@SammyandTommy gorgeous! Helping the locals and avoiding the crowds 😊😊
What a great video something to add to the bucket list to go see thank you for the great video

Good camera work guys...the swan?? When you did the slomo around those moments, awesome.
So glad you noticed! Thanks so much Tom 🤗
wow, that's amazing places, very nice video
Thanks so much 🤗
So peaceful in the midst of chaos
Wow! THIS video is spectacular! Amazing & unique flycam & camera angles! And great choices away from the crowd. Love the animal shots.... Your animals shots are beautiful and gorgeous... The flycam captured the epic landscape the best i have seen (i have seen over 20 this year). Great picks. Outstanding...Love love.
They did an amazing job capturing the beautiful water lilies, ducks, etc., for sure. You might want to check out Flora and Note's video on Ninh Binh. They also did an amazing job with drone footage of the area.
Thanks for making our day! Such a wonderful comment! Really appreciate your encouragement to keep creating! Thanks!
@@SammyandTommy Best of all, your happy smiles are wonderfully contagious. It's a gift from the universe to you... and then to others. Best wishes.
I saw your video randomly this morning. Superb excited to see videos like this. I really like your contents and the way that you enjoy traveling in Viet Nam. Let me know if you intend to visit Hue city( it’s also the former capital of Viet Nam). Keep it up, guys.
So happy you were able to find us and happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the encouragement and support 🙏

the other one still has the Kong Movie setup, it is bigger and better. Has many nice views and pagodas that's why it is more busy.
That makes sense why it's so busy. We do the boat tour you're talking about this coming Sunday!
We did the Trang An boat tour. It went through 3 caves. Awesome experience.
Awesome to hear! We really enjoyed that one too!
I love Vietnam .
11.37 that bridge need some repairs 😂😂😂
