The Weather

Hawaii has two seasons worth mentioning -- summer and winter. And winter is better here than summers are in most places. Summer is the dry season in Hawaii, and winter is the rainy season. Don't expect too much variance in the weather during your trip. There is a reason they call this place paradise. It's mostly sunny, and a few scattered showers fall "up mauka," at higher elevations, just about every day. In short, it's really nice most of the time. The weather does vary somewhat when it comes to rain. Rarely do you have long downpours for days on end, but rain is definitely going to affect you more if you are staying at higher elevations, particularly on the windward (generally the eastern and northern) sides of the islands. On the leeward sides of the islands, you can expect sunny days and dry conditions normally. Temperatures year-round in Hawaii stay between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit most of the time. In the summer, you can expect some 90-degree days, but weather much hotter than 90 is fairly rare. Hurricane season runs through the summer, but landfall for these storms is rare in Hawaii. The last hurricane to hit Hawaii was Iniki in 1992.

What to Wear

Because this is a tropical climate, dress comfortably and cool. Shorts, T-shirts, flip-flops (locally known as slippas), sundresses and, of course, Aloha shirts are the norm. No, it's not just something you see on television: The men in Hawaii wear flowery Aloha shirts on a regular basis, even for work. And most restaurants, except the most formal, are liberal in their attire requirements.

Crowds and Prices

The summer in Hawaii is certainly not the peak season. The peak in Hawaii runs from mid-December through mid-April as people escape their cold hometowns across the Northern Hemisphere. But the summer falls somewhere between peak season and low season. From the time schoolchildren are dismissed for summer until the beginning of August, beaches can be quite crowded, and prices for flights, hotels and other services on the islands can go up considerably.

Shoulder Season

If you want to visit in the summer but do not want to contend with the masses and the higher prices, try to come on the front end or the tail end of summer. The shoulder season happens in the very early days of summer, actually late spring, before all the kids are out of school. It happens again at the end of the summer as schools are resuming classes. Family vacations slow down, making it less crowded, and airlines and hotels are always offering lower-priced deals to entice visitors as the momentum of tourist season slows.

Activities

The good news about Hawaii is that almost everything you can do during any other time of year is also available in the summer. There are only a couple of exceptions to this rule. Typically the surf is not up during the summer. So no big sets will be rolling in for you to paddle into. Also, the snows that are often visible on top of the volcanoes of the Big Island and Maui are melted away, meaning you'll miss some of the most beautiful sights. But don't worry: There are plenty more to choose from. Also, calm seas are probably good news for most tourists. Besides, there's always the possibility of a bump in the surf report even in summer. Snorkeling, hiking, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and a plethora of other local activities are as good or better in the summer.

  • The itinerary is based on my own trip in December 2016. I spent a total of 2,5 days exploring Ninh Binh and could’ve easily stayed more!
  • It’s for independent travelers making their own way in Ninh Binh. This is the way it should be explored!
  • It’s suited if you have your own wheels, whether is a bike or a motorbike. I strongly recommend the latter, at least on the first day.
  • It’s NOT a rushed itinerary. You can squeeze in more places if you want. However I think is important to allow some time to really take in the scenery, explore the area calmly and even get wonderfully lost!
Sounds like this can suit you? Great, let’s start the engines!

What to do in Ninh Binh – 2-Day Itinerary

Yes, two days. Anything less and you’ll need to cut down on some sights and/or rush your trip. And who the hell wants to stress on the countryside?!There are also some additional sights in case you’ve got more time or want to switch up something.  
Day 1 in Ninh Binh
  • Trang An Grottoes
  • Hoa Lu Ancient Citadel
  • Bai Dinh Pagoda
Day 2 in Ninh Binh
  • Tam Coc Rice Fields
  • Bich Dong Pagoda
  • Hang Mua
  • Thung Nham Bird Park
I know these shopping lists don’t help much, so now let’s go in detail about these sights!

Day 1 in Ninh Binh

This first day only has 3 places, but each one of them will need a couple of hours to explore. I strongly suggest you get around on a motorbike as distances between these sights are significant.

Trang An

[embed]https://youtu.be/BanhMy-ZWu0[/embed]   A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Trang An Landscape Complex is an impressive set of large limestone karst cliffs covered by forest. In the entire area, you can find temples, dozens of valleys and about 50 different caves.The best way to enjoy this inspiring scenery is to take a boat ride. A lady rower will row the boat for you, the technique they use to maneuver the boat inside the underwater caves is truly amazing. It’s unreal the amount of effort these ladies have to put every day for a living.Since the whole trip lasts for about 2 hours (!), I helped the rower for some time by using the spare oars. Trang An was definitely the main highlight of Ninh Binh and apparently a much more beautiful and relaxing ride than Tam Coc‘s (see below). Being surrounded by the huge mountains in almost every direction while on a tiny boat is truly a spectacular feeling. Don’t miss this!  

Hoa Lu Ancient Capital

  [caption id="attachment_2003" align="alignnone" width="1067"] Hoa Lu Ancient Capital[/caption] Hoa Lu is the ancient capital of the Dinh and Le dynasties, dating back to the 11th century. It’s located roughly 14km from Ninh Binh and close to the Trang A boat ride.Today, the remains of this ancient city are just that: remains. The buildings still standing include the royal temples of Dinh Tien Huang, housing a statue of Emperor Dinh Bo Linh and his sons as well as the royal temple of the early Le Dynasty. Still, more than the buildings or temples, I found Hoa Lu to be beautiful because of the scenery. The ruins are just too rainy to be memorable IMHO. It’s still worth to have a stroll around and imagine how the city was a millennium ago.  

Bai Dinh Pagoda

  [caption id="attachment_2006" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Bai Dinh pagoda is the largest pagoda in Southeast Asia[/caption] Located 15km away from Ninh Binh city in a mountain area, Bai Dinh Pagoda is a HUGE religious complex. In fact, everything is massive here. Within the 539-hectare premises, there are 5,000 Buddha statues, a 36-ton bronze bell and dozens of Buddhist temples, each more opulent than the other. Usually, visitors explore the compound by electric car (!).It’s the absolute largest pagoda in South East Asia. Climbing to the top gives you an amazing open view over the Ninh Binh province.Just like Ninh Binh in general, I honestly don’t know how Bai Dinh can fall this much under the radar. But it does and I guess that’s a good thing!  

Day 2 in Ninh Binh

Contrarily to the first day, this one can be done on a bike as distances are shorter. All the sights are in or around Tam Coc.  

Tam Coc Rice Fields

  [caption id="attachment_1999" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Tam Coc aannd you’re drawn into the authentic Vietnam. Photo By: geekyexplorer[/caption] The boat ride in the Tam Coc rice fields is the main reason tourists come to Ninh Binh. The area is surrounded by hundreds of stony outcrops similar to the ones found in Halong Bay. For this reason, the area is nicknamed “Halong in Land”. I skipped the boat ride when I heard it’s a hotspot for scams and hawkers. Apart from the ticket fee, the rowers often “ask” (aka demand) tourists a tip on the middle of the ride. Plus, when you get back on shore, you’re coerced to buy some food for your rower. Since I had already experienced the awesome boat ride in Trang An, I decided I could live without it. A great alternative option to explore the rice fields is on a bike. It’s hassle-free, way more adventurous and cheaper in the end. Cycling along the paddies, waving to the people working in the fields and getting up close with some cute animals on the way felt like the absolute right choice!  

Bich Dong Pagoda

  If you’re coming from Tam Coc, the road to Bich Dong Pagoda is simply gorgeous. At a given point, you’ll be surrounded by huge rice fields with limestone cliffs as a backdrop. Definitely worthy of stopping for some selfie moments! Bich Dong Pagoda itself is a set of 3 temples enclosed in a mountain. To explore the highest one you need to pass through a series of caves. At some point it’s pitch dark inside, so watch your step! Inside you can find several Buddhist images carved in stone and hollow stalactites on which you can play some tunes. Some of these caves were used by the Viet Minh to hide from the French during the First Indochina War.  

Hang Mua

  Everyone addresses this place as the Hang Mua Caves, but to be honest the caves are nothing special. In fact, if I had it skip completely, I wouldn’t have missed anything. Even the ones in Thung Nham Bird Park are better IMHO. The real appeal of this place lies on the temple on top of the mountain. You can see the set of stairs to get there from a distance. It’s a fair climb of almost 500 (!) steps. Yes, it’s exhausting, especially because they are uneven – some are really tiny, others can be made for giants. But don’t get discouraged. Once you have had this proper workout, you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular 360° view over the Tam Coc valley. The views over the countryside and paddy fields are truly amazing. There’s no better place to catch your breath and find your inner zen again. Totally worth the effort, believe me.  

Thung Nham Bird Park

  During my research about Ninh Binh, I’ve NEVER heard of this place. It was the lovely girl on the reception of our hotel that not only suggested us to go to Thung Nham but offered to be our guide there! For those who love nature and an adventurous bird-watching trip, the natural reserve of Thung Nham (Nham Valley) is a must go. Deeply enclosed in the mountains, it’s a place with great natural beauty with many underwater caves and rivers. The Hang But (Buddhist Cave) is one of the largest. With lots of stalactites and stalagmites inside sitting beside an underground river, going inside is quite an adventure. A total of 150 different animals (beware of the snakes!) and more than 40 species of birds – some of them critically endangered species – can be found in Thung Nham. There are so many there’s even a place inside dedicated to them – the Bird Park. We took the boat to watch the birds at dusk, the peak time for foraging birds. Picture a small rowing boat on the mangrove forests, with HUNDREDS of birds hanged on the trees, all wrapped around in a drop dead gorgeous forest. The only noise comes from the birds while the sun is setting in the background. Magical. I went there knowing absolutely nothing about this place and came back mesmerized (can’t thank you enough Trang!).

Where to stay In Ninh Binh

Don’t stay in Ninh Binh city. I can’t understand how people come to such a nature-gifted place and stay in an uninspiring and ugly city. Instead, base yourself in Tam Coc, in the countryside. It’s a much more pleasant small town close to the main attractions – including the rice fields. The only downside from the place we stayed (below) was the location: 2,5km from Tam Coc center, with all the shops and restaurants. On the other hand, we had a quieter location with much better views! Find your accommodation in Ninh Binh I usually use Booking.com to find accommodations. It’s safe, easy and reliable and you use my shortlist of the top-rated places to stay in Ninh Binh with WiFi included. In Asia, you might also try the hotel listing of Agoda is larger and often with better deals.
