The total duration is 10 minutes and the maximum passenger per flight is four.
On the morning of June 26th, after taking part in the tour, Ms. Mai Anh (from Ha Noi) excitedly shared that despite having many holidays in Ninh Binh over the year, this was the first time she ever could observe the scenery from such height.
“Most of the structures of the helicopter are built from highly transparent glass so I could have a panoramic view under from any seat. The flight crew varied the altitude based on the sights below so we were able to have the perfect position to memorize all the beauties of the complex.”

Recently, this service has been the talk of many travel enthusiasts and agencies.
