Fantastic - We had a great afternoon with this family who multiplied activities. We were able to walk with the buffalo, fish, plant rice, cook and share the meal with other visitors. As a bonus we were even able to ride on a raft he had just built to go feed the goats. Special mention to the smallest of the family who offers photo tracking at an extra charge: we have plenty of photos more beautiful than each other (just plan battery on a phone for transfer)

Look into the lives of the locals. - The family were friendly and fun to chat with. The experience itself wasn’t that long but long enough to see the hardship Vietnamese people deal with on a daily basis.

One of the best experiences I have had in Vietnam - We stayed at the Buffalo cave for the whole afternoon and it was one of the best experiences I have had in Vietnam. The place is really beautiful and the staff were so helpful. They respected that the heat that day was too much for us and gave us enough time to rest in between activities as well as plenty of cold tea to cool us down. Everyone there was super kind and explained to us what is it like to live in a place like this and answered every question we had. Everything that was promised was delivered and then some. I highly recommend you this experience it is absolutely worth it.

The moment when things you think are ordinary become special - I was able to enjoy experiences that I couldn't enjoy in the city, and I was able to have fun with my family, especially teenagers, and have a really fun and special experience and be thankful for what we have.

My most authentic experience in Vietnam, a true highlight of my month long trip! - From start to finish this was amazing and the best tour I’ve done in all of Vietnam. Truly authentic and personal with such a wide ranging set of activities (feeding the ducks and buffalo, fishing, rice picking and planting, as well as a technical cooking class! The family were so hospitable, funny and engaging. This is the one tour I recommend to everyone going to Ninh Binh! Shout out to the young girls name (sorry I forgot)!

By far the best day on our whole Trip 😄💪🏽 - The hosts are incredibly nice and will show you how to plant rice, go fishing (we caught one ourselves with a fishing basket so very animal friendly method) and could feed the buffalo Mia and some ducklings. The animals are in good shape and well taken care of. Cooking class was super fun with Hien and Duong., our hosts. We ate yo much and enjoyed every bite. The fish we caught was also grilled and tasted great. Go here!! Worth every single penny 😍

Amazing Time with Buffalo Cave experience tours in Ninh Bình - My family and I had an incredible experience at Buffalo Cave in Ninh Binh. Our children got the chance to feed and bathe the buffaloes, ride on their backs, and hand-feed adorable ducklings, which was quite entertaining. Afterward, we engaged in traditional fishing activities using interesting and humorous methods. We then learned about the strenuous work of the local farmers by trying our hand at transplanting rice. Once we completed these activities, we moved on to a natural waterfall for a refreshing swim. The natural water was exceptionally clean, enhancing the overall experience. We also visited a nearby cave, which served as a refuge for the local people during the war when enemy bombings targeted Ninh Binh. Finally, our family bonded over cooking and preparing traditional Vietnamese dishes together, which was both fascinating and delicious. We are eager to return to Buffalo Cave at the earliest opportunity. Many thanks to the Buffalo Cave staff for their warm hospitality, treating us like cherished family members.
