 WHY YEN DUC VILLAGE?

We have received a lot of complaints for Halong Bay tour from our customers for a long time:    

  •    The brunch on board between 10a.m to 11 a.m before returning the harbor is too early.
  •    The restaurants near the harbor are too touristy and don’t meet their requirements for quality service.
  •    The road distance from Ha Long to Hanoi is too far and they need a good place to stop for relax and lunch.

Asia Aventura has taken their effort to find out a good solution for all these problems. Our Product Manager, Mr. Nguyen Minh Thang spent many weeks wandering through rural villages from Quang Ninh to Hanoi and finally set foot in Yen Duc Village - a typical model agricultural village in the North of Vietnam. He was totally captivated by its lush green paddy fields, red- roofed houses, traditional ancient architecture and friendly peasants there. The peaceful space is the right one we are seeking.

Yen Duc Village Tour is on sale after a few months setting and now become one of recommended product of Asia Aventura which is only available to our customers.
