Overview

Wandering around the inner city of Hanoi is already boring, try going to the suburbs of Hanoi with fresh air, lots of trees and enjoy the wildness of people living on an island separate from life. urban bustle.
We created this Tour to help you improve your feeling of being close to nature. You can cycle around banana island, swim in the pool in the middle of the island, do the work of a farmer, and grill your own food. I fish or earn.
This is a Tour for small groups and brings a new feeling.

If you come at sunset, you will see the golden sun in the late afternoon, making the landscape here even more attractive.
In particular, in the rocky areas of the Red River, there are many species of flowers such as cypress, yellow mustard, climbing rose, chrysanthemum, coin, crested cock, kumquat, peach ... creating colorful gardens. The scene here is associated with wooden bridges, crossing the lake, under the rows of reeds fluttering in the wind, creating a romantic space.

What to expect

    3h
    Biking Long Bien bridge, stop at the local market then bike down to Banana Island.
    Visit some gardens below the bridge and help the locals with farming.
    Banana Island was named as such thanks to the vast banana plantation that has been grown for decades in the middle of the island.
    However, Banana Island is now the most sought-after destination for those seeking out the secret natural beauty right in the capital city of Vietnam.
    This island is an alluvial ground that is easily found at the foot of the famous Long Bien Bridge
    Visiting the island is a chance for you to take a genuine glimpse into another life of the Hanoi locals. In contrast to the vivid and fancy lifestyle in the city center, Hanoi Banana Island reflects a lesser-known area of life. This is where a small community of the native dwellers live in neglect.

    Most of the residential houses on the island are frail. In fact, the residents live on boats docking by the bank as the land is flooded when the tide is high.
  2. Red River
    3h
    - Continue biking on a network of small bike trails and enjoy the peaceful landscape of the Red River Delta. Rest and a short visit to Hai Co Temple
    - Stop at Floating village where most people still live in very poor condition without electricity. Enjoy bamboo rafting on the lake or playing Pétanque in a French family.
    - Bicycle through Banana Forest to the Northernmost of the island.
    - Stop for BBQ lunch or dinner in our most special swimming pool.
    - Biking back to the city for some drinks with the group and the tour guide in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. Tour ends
    Hanoi Banana Island is a hidden paradise if you’re a peace and adventure seeker. We advise you to visit the island after a city tour to embrace a different beauty in the capital.

    A pleasant and simple activity such as biking 1 day tour, motobiking or walking around the island is worth trying, especially if you have a camera on your hand or being by your lover’s side.
