Highlights
  • 43 Đường Hai Bà Trưng - Our tour guide and the vehicle will pick you up at your hotels in Dong Hoi central area or locations on the way to Phong Nha then depart to Phong Nha National Park.

  • Paradise Cave - Arrive in Phong Nha and then the group starts to visit Paradise Cave - the longest dry cave in Asia. Surrounded by forested karst peaks, this staggering cave system extends for 31km, though most people only visit the first kilometer. The scale is breathtaking, as wooden staircases plunge into a cathedral-like space with vast alien-looking stalagmites and stalactites. Get here early to beat the crowds, as during peak times (early afternoon) tour guides shepherd groups using megaphones. Paradise Cave is about 14km southwest of Son Trach. From the buggie drop-off, it’s a further 600m-plus sweaty climb up to the cave entrance. To explore deep inside the cave beyond the barrier at the end and with luck see the eyeless cavefish that are part of its ecosystem

  • Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park - By 12:30, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Phong Nha village.

  • Phong Nha Caves - After lunch, the group will continue the trip to explore the most impressive Phong Nha cave. You will take a boat to cruise on the Son River for about 25 minutes to the Phong Nha cave. While on the boat you will see the greenfield, people, houses, and limestone along the river. Arrive in Phong Nha and start visiting, this cave is a water cave famous for its rock formation which has been given names such as the “Lion”, the “Fairy Caves”, the “Royal Court”, and the “Buddha. As the boats reach the caves they queue up, entering only one or two at a time. Engines die and the operators drag them along with long poles, slowly and methodically spearing them into the murky water. Once past the entrance, the immense cavern opens up. Giant stalactite chandeliers hang down from the ceiling. Without prodding or asking, everyone falls silent as eyes gaze up and the stone cathedral’s grandeur spills out. It’s a spectacular sight.

  • Dong Hoi - Come back to the vehicle to leave Phong Nha. The group will go back to Dong Hoi for drop-off at your hotels/places. The trip will end around 17:30

Best tour ever!!! We were picked up at our hotel in Dong Hoi and driven to the first cave, Paradise Csve by Mr Si . - Our guide was full of information and was super fun fun. He broke the ice immediately so that our small group bonded in minutes. The caves are incredible and should not be missed. Truly one of the most amazing wonders on the planet!

Best Customer Service - My husband and I were looking forward to this tour. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances we were not able to attend. Richard was so kind & willing to help me with my situation. I would definitely go with his tour the next time we are in Vietnam.

Memorable Trip - Wow I was so impressive with the two caves we visited which were Phong Nha Cave and Paradise Cave. They were simply amazing! They were so beautiful and worth the payment. They were truly Paradises on earth. Our tour guide was also great and she tried to explain as much things as she could and we all loved her. This Day tour is one of the best tour in my life so far. Both two caves are something you must see in your lifetime! I really enjoyed my trip and recommended this trip to all.
