NINH BINH FOOTPRINT TRAVEL’s *Ninh Binh: Trang An Boat, Bai Dinh, Hoa Lu & Mua Cave Sunset* is from $15 in current promotion (usually $16) (checked November 2026), the lowest price on this site, because the guide and the van are all it covers. Its own list of what you pay on the day:
| Paid on the day | Dong |

| Trang An boat | 300,000 |
| Mua Cave | 150,000 |
| Bai Dinh electric car, return | 150,000 |
