Overview

This full-day tour lasts about eight hours and takes place within Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park near Dong Hoi. The tour begins with a hotel pickup either from Dong Hoi city or Phong Nha village. From there, you travel by air-conditioned minivan about 75 kilometers to Paradise Cave, the longest dry cave in Asia. Upon arrival, a golf cart transports you 1.6 kilometers through jungle terrain to the cave entrance. You then climb to the mouth of the cave, where views of the surrounding mountains can be seen. After exploring Paradise Cave, the group returns to Phong Nha village for a lunch that includes a traditional Vietnamese dish with a vegetarian option available upon request. In the afternoon, the tour continues with a 25-minute ride by traditional dragon boat to Phong Nha Cave, known as a water cave because it features the longest underground river in the world. You enter the cave by boat and explore approximately 300 meters on foot before returning by boat. The cave has several notable rock formations named the Lion, the Fairy Caves, the Royal Court, and the Buddha. After this visit, the tour concludes with transport back to Dong Hoi, where you are dropped off at your hotel. All activities, national park fees, lunch, bottled water, and transport including hotel pickup and drop-off are included. An English-speaking professional guide leads the tour. Transfers inside the park use a golf cart, and transport to all sites is by air-conditioned minivan. Gratuities, drinks, and any personal fees or VAT charges for invoices are not included. The tour operates in all weather, and children must be accompanied by an adult. Strollers are not permitted on this tour.
