Although we couldn’t see Phong Nha or dark cave due to the flooding in the central Vietnam (late Oct) we were still able to see Paradise cave and commander cave! Tuyen and Dat our tour guides were super accommodating for the sudden changes due to the weather and we still had a great time! Excited to see the caves again in the Summer when the rivers aren’t flooded 🤣 Lunch was provided and was DELICIOUS! Thank you Tuyen and Dat!
This is not a two day tour, but simple a mix of tours spread of two days. I travelled solo and ending up joining three different groups for the three caves, and had three different tour guides. However each trip was nice and the views was spectacular. Would recommend go for paradise cave and dark cave in one day though
