Thung Nham entrance tickets include several basic services, helping tourists save costs when exploring the main spots in the tourist area. Specifically:

• Boat ticket to visit Thung Nham Bird Park: This is a highlight activity, allowing you to travel by boat to watch thousands of bird species nesting, especially during migration seasons (March-May and September-November).
• Boat ticket to visit But Cave (Buddha Cave): A natural cave with Buddha-shaped stalactites, holding cultural and spiritual value.
• 10% VAT Tax: Already included in the ticket price, no additional charge.
• Access to walking routes: Includes exploring Vai Gioi Cave, Tien Ca Cave (Mermaid Cave), fruit orchards, shrines, and gentle trekking paths within the eco-resort.

Note that the ticket only covers basic sightseeing activities. If you want additional experiences such as accommodation, dining, or premium services, separate fees apply. This ticket price applies year-round, but is subject to change according to management policies, so please double-check before going.

In addition to Thung Nham entrance tickets, the tourist area offers various supplementary services to enhance the visitor experience. These fees are optional, but particularly useful if you travel in large groups, with children, or wish to optimize time and convenience during your tour. 

• Tour guide service: Cost around 650,000 VND/tour (4 hours), suitable for tourist groups or family groups. 
• Swimming pool access ticket: Price around 100,000 VND/adult, children receive a 50% discount. 
• Campfire service: Fees range from 500,000 – 1,000,000 VND/group, depending on the scale. 
• Other experiential activities: Certain programs such as advanced trekking or team building cost from 200,000 VND/person, depending on the service package. Visitors should contact the management board directly for precise quotes.

These services help tourists flexibly customize their itinerary according to personal needs. If you visit only for the day and prioritize budget saving, you can completely skip these optional services. Additionally, Thung Nham provides on-site dining services ranging from 50,000 – 150,000 VND/dish, mainly serving Ninh Binh specialties such as mountain goat meat and crispy rice, convenient for tourists without needing to travel far.

Thung Nham tourist area is vast (around 80ha), so renting an electric cart or bicycle is a convenient choice to move between points. The updated rates are as follows:

• Electric cart rental:
  • 40,000 VND/person/trip (round trip).
  • Applies to transportation from the entrance gate to main areas like the Bird Park or resort. Carts operate on a fixed schedule, convenient for the elderly or families with young children.
• Bicycle rental:
  • 30,000 VND/hour.
  • 70,000 VND/half day (4-5 hours).
  • 150,000 VND/full day (morning to afternoon).
  • Simple bicycles, suitable for flat roads. An ID card deposit or cash deposit is required, along with adherence to safety regulations.

If staying at Thung Nham resort, some room packages may include free bicycles or electric cart rides. Renting a vehicle saves energy, especially in the hot summer, but if you enjoy walking, you can skip it to reduce costs.

To make your trip to Thung Nham cost-effective and efficient, apply the following tips from travelers and travel experts:

• Buy tickets directly at the gate: No need to buy online as ticket prices do not change, and you can check on-site offers (such as free entry for children under 1m). Avoid buying from outside ticket scalpers to prevent higher prices.
• Check children's height accurately: Bring a measuring tape if necessary, as prices depend on height. Children from 1m-1.3m pay only 100,000 VND, saving money for families.
• Choose a reasonable visiting time: Go early in the morning (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM) or late afternoon (after 4:00 PM) to avoid crowds and potentially get discounts on night boat rides. After 5:00 PM, if visiting only the Bird Park, ticket prices may be reduced by 50% (verify on-site).
• Plan your itinerary: Tickets already include the boat ride to the bird park and But Cave, so prioritize these activities first. Skip additional services like electric carts if you are healthy, and bring water and snacks to avoid buying from vendors at high prices.
• Join a tour if traveling in a group: If coming from Hanoi or distant provinces, select an all-inclusive tour (around 600,000 - 800,000 VND/person) including shuttle bus, tickets, and lunch, helping to avoid extra transit costs.
• Follow updates: Check the official website thungnham.com or the Ninh Binh Travel fanpage 1-2 weeks prior to stay updated on price changes (rare, but may occur during peak seasons).
