  • Tam coc is one of the most beautiful towns in Vietnam. With its high jutting limestone landscape it’s also referred to as the ha long bay on land. Today we visit Hung Mua to hike up to the top for one of the best views in Vietnam
    We love recommending travelers visit this area on their trip to Vietnam mostly due to its proximity to Hanoi, stunning natural attractions and a variety of beautiful accommodations for any budget.
    We recommend staying 2-4 nights in the area to be able to enjoy the hiking, river tours, pagodas and caves that are all just a scooter ride away.

    ABOUT US:
    We’re traveling full time, living on our own terms and showing you the up-close-and-personal details of us figuring it out along the way. Sometimes it’s about navigating big, life-altering decisions. Sometimes it’s about navigating the seemingly lawless free-for-all that is driving in Hanoi. It’s moments of triumph and moments of panic. The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny.
    We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. We believe the world’s a more interesting place when people reject convention in favor of what they actually care about. This is us putting that idea to the test - one budget spreadsheet, RV renovation and mountain-peak drone video at a time.

    I just realized that I hit the like button before I watched the video. I guess I've watched enough of them to know that's a safe bet.

    I am so glad you guys are back in Vietnam. Another spot that is better than Halong Bay is Ninh Binh. That is my Dad’s birthplace, and we are planning to visit Ninh Binh next year.

    Totally agree Tim and Fin. I took my 3 teens on a father-daughter trip thru Vietnam from north to south 2 years ago. We visited both Halong and Tam Coc. Definitely found Tam Coc to be much more enjoyable. Love your videos. Keep it up. Glad I found your videos.

    I know what you mean about riding scooter in Vietnam, I feel so free. And hey Fin, you 're truly Vietnamese now with the helmet with the cut in the back of the helmet for your pony tail, how much more Vietnamese can you get :-) Hang Mua looks awesome. Looking forward to seeing more of your VN videos.

    I lived in the Philippines for awhile as a kid - my mom brought back one of those hats to the USA and would wear it all the time. I was mortified! Those stairs & hike - WOW and your drone footage was over the top!! Awww so sorry there is trash 😖

    I'm so jealous that you guys are having too much fun!
    Every place in Vietnam has a unique beauty of its own. You guys got to check out my home town in Vietnam.
    Kien Giang is almost the very southern part of Vietnam. It's so beautiful they even wrote a song for it.
    There is Phu Quoc and other beautiful islands close by Kien Giang that you should also check them check.
    KIÊN GIANG MÌNH ĐẸP LẮM is the song. Thanks for another cool video TIM and FIN! Stay fun and safe journey!

    LOVE your videos!! Well produced!! Just got back from Vietnam Sunday. Was there 3 weeks (Saigon, Nhan Trang, Da Nang) Should make a digital download guide of your routes & stops & hotels we should stay at. I’d totally purchase! I saw your videos and inspired me to take a trip next year for my sons 16th birthday and we are renting bikes and doing this northern loop. Super excited!!

    @TravelInteresante Před 4 lety +1

    Do you think it is possible to do both Tam Coc/Ninh Binh and a 1 night Ha Long Bat Cruise if planning to visit Hanoi and the surrounding "area" for 4 nights, or would it be too much in that time frame? Thanks Tim and Fin, beautifully shot intro, reallyed loved it and the video!

  • @catbagreentrailtravel4190

    It is informative video, I have been to Tam Coc 3 times and really want to comeback because it is very beautiful place.
    From Tam Coc it is very easy to go to Cat Ba island with bus or limosine car. From Cat Ba island you can visit Lan Ha bay and the less touristic of Ha Long bay. it is worth to do that. We hope you will be back to Vietnam, especial to visit Lan Ha bay and Ha Long bay.

    Just wondering, how to get there from Hanoi?is there a flight or train?

    • @MaiNguyen-fy4sv
      @MaiNguyen-fy4sv Před 4 lety

      You can either take bus or ride bike yourself. It is around 70 miles from Ha Noi to Ninh Binh. Bus would drop you along side of highway and you would take a private motor bike or taxi to Tam Coc (where hotels, hostels, a town of food there special famous goat dishes) you can rent a motor bikes or bycicle to go around. Trang An is a must for a boat ride to experience the beauty and tranquility of this area. There is a huge pagoda called Bai đinh. Cuc Phương- National park is on the west area.
      This is on my top list area for another come back.

    Tim and Fin!!! - I loved this episode... The drone footage and editing is awesome, but my favorite Tim comments were:

    2) “Just swim up there”
    3) “Mine looks like it came out of a gum ball machine”

      Using the GoPro for some shots (like Tim doing the explanation on the train) but still using our LUMIX G7 and Gh5 for cinematic shots

    You're right about the trash, I saw lots of it during my travel in Viet Nam too. I found that very disturbing and frustrated. The same with this issue in the States, now with COVID-19 - we have a new kind of trash: the discarded masks and the gloves on the streets, bushes and sidewalks. Trash cans are everywhere also, but people would just drop them where they stand, I hate these irresponsible and lazy people.
    Bạn nói đúng về rác, tôi cũng thấy rất nhiều trong chuyến du lịch ở Việt Nam. Tôi thấy điều đó rất đáng lo ngại và bực bội. Vấn đề này ở Hoa Kỳ cũng vậy, giờ đây với COVID-19 - chúng ta có một loại rác mới: khẩu trang và găng tay bỏ đi trên đường phố, bụi rậm và vỉa hè. Thùng rác có ở khắp mọi nơi, nhưng ho lai vứt chúng ở nơi họ đứng, tôi rat ghét những người vô trách nhiệm và lười biếng nay.

    "Forget Ha Long Bay" - You're joking but you're right ! - Ha Long, There're only islands and water. In Tam Coc (and Trang An) , "Dried Ha Long" you have everything - island, water, cave, rice field, river, mountain, many nice people, you can take tour on boat or bike, many beautiful and famous places and... good food.
