Leave Hanoi’s bustle for an open-air jeep ride across the Red River into rice paddies, village markets, and Co Loa Temple. This half-day tour pairs cultural stops with hands-on rural encounters and accessible roads for light walking.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The jeep rumbles up from Hanoi's Old Quarter and crosses the Red River, windows open to a breath of wet earth and rice shoots bending like green waves. Open-air seating gives an uninterrupted view of a landscape that pushes and receives the driver in equal measure: narrow country lanes, small markets, and farmers steering water buffalo through ankle-deep paddies.
