Amazing day!

Claudia_V, Jul 2024

Paradise cave was amazing and Dark cave lots of fun. Our guide spoke English well and was funny but always rushing us. Not everyone is fit enough to go up 200 steps without a break. Even in dark cave, I was often left behind and didn’t appreciate that part.

Book from Phong Nha not Viator

Nathalie_H, Jan 2023

This was an incredible experience, but I would not recommend booking it on here. Any hotel or booking front on the streets of Phong Nha can help you book this same tour for a MUCH cheaper price. Our Homestay concierge/receptionist was shocked to hear what we paid here to book. That being said, the tour is fantastic. Paradise cave was much like any other cave I’ve toured, but be warned that it is a steep trek to the top to enter the cave so not recommended for individuals with knee or ankle problems. Dark cave included ziplining in, swimming (even though it was winter & cold but honestly still worth it), and then cave exploring (including a mud bath and more wading in water). It was a much more unique experience. We got to kayak back to our starting point. The worst part was we were freezing afterward but still worth it!
