Fantastic trip with Phongnha Discovery - We have just returned from package 2 days 1 night with Phong Nha Discovery. It was an amazing experience - cave swimming, kayaking, mudbath, and staying at a home stay in the village.
The whole trip was supremely well organised. It was very well led and words can’t describe just how impressed we’ve been. We would definitely do another trip with this company. Do not hesitate to book!

Travel - A fun and fun day, although due to the change of weather relationships (Dark cave changed to Phong Nha Cave), a little regret, but overall still good. The guide explained very clearly gives a lot of information about the attractions, there is a chance to play again.

Excited Enjoyable and So Much Fun - It is an extremely fun tour. They pick you up on by one. The tour manager, Andy, is so polite and friendly. They give us a detailed tour for Paradise Cave and Dark Cave, they give introductions too regarding how the cave was found. He is fluent in English, and extremely helpful for the whole trip. Andy was a native from Phong Na he navigate the dark cave and guarding us the whole trip. He is extremely friendly and keep watch of us for the whole trip.
The trip is schedule packed, lunch is included, in paradise you will start your day by climbing your way to the entrance around 1 Km hike. Then another Km inside the cavern to get to the end of the cave. So going both ways will give you 4 Km in total.
Dark Cave is more of an adventure. You get into a zipline / kayak to the cave. Then you go inside, there are small rivers inside the cave too and mud bath at the end of the cave. After you go out of the cave, you can enjoy some water park activities outside of the cave before you wrap up the day and return to your inn.

Incredibly fun day out! - We had an amazing day with Andy Handsome! His English was excellent and loved that he had a great sense of humor. He called us 20 mins before our pick up and then again 5 mins before just to make sure we’re ready. The transfer van was clean and air conditioned. Paradise Cave was impressive to say the least however it’s incredibly busy with tons of tourists. Lunch was amazing served on a banana leaf platter with a plethora of options. Dark Cave is definitely for the adventurer. Our kids had loads of fun zip lining to the entrance of the cave and hiking through the mud inside to the mud bath. We were told we couldn’t bring water shoes but I did see a handful of guests with water shoes. I would advise wearing them because the rocks and limestone were quite uncomfortable on the feet. The water park was a hilarious time for our family. The kids (11 and 12yo) loved zip lining, kayaking and doing all the obstacle courses. All in all, it was an amazing fun day! I highly recommend the Dark Cave if you are looking for a less touristy adventure!

The king of the caves! - We went with the king! It was phenomenal he was very funny and super informative of the surrounding area. He also used his own phone to take photos of me and my family in the dark cave which helped because it was too risky to bring my own
