    About this experience

    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. Let's try it

    Sunset magic on banana Island

    We needed a break from Hanoi's bustling streets and this countryside tour delivered perfectly! Cycling through Banana Island's lush landscapes was so refreshing. The bamboo raft experience was slightly wobbly but added to the adventure. Our guide showed us how to do traditional farming tasks which was both educational and amusing. The highlight was definitely grilling our own dinner as the golden sunset cast beautiful light across the Red River.Worth every penny. 👍

    Banana Island - would not recommend

    The tour guide was a nice guy but this is not a tour I would recommend. We basically followed the tour guide around the island with no information about the area. There was no plan in place. It was very rough and ready. If it was free, I wouldn't go on it. It sounds harsh but I wish someone put this review up before I booked it.

    Response from the operator: Hi, I am very sorry that you were not satisfied with this trip, on the green island full of banana trees, cycling, experiencing farming, bathing in the river (pool area), eating right on the spot, it is really wild and with a total cost of only $ 52 including everything, many groups have participated and experienced with positive reviews, your dissatisfaction is a surprise with the service this time, I will review the program and adjust it in a more suitable direction. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

    Hanoi Countryside in Banana Island - Top Tours & Activities: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.

    How much does Hanoi Countryside in Banana Island - Top Tours & Activities cost?

    +

    Prices start at $36 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hanoi Countryside in Banana Island - Top Tours & Activities take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.

    Is Hanoi Countryside in Banana Island - Top Tours & Activities worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hanoi Countryside in Banana Island - Top Tours & Activities?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Hanoi Countryside in Banana Island - Top Tours & Activities suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hanoi Countryside in Banana Island - Top Tours & Activities?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hanoi Countryside in Banana Island - Top Tours & Activities start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Hanoi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Hanoi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Hanoi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
