The cave was amazing and the duck stop was wonderful. Would not call this a village tour as we did not visit a village at all. It was just the cave and the duck place. The tour company could have been more organised. We tried to contact the company before the day to organise things and only heard back the day before tour. They also forgot that we were booked in for the duck stop and had to organise mid drive. Also we were left at a stop waiting for pick up for quite a while and then got taken by different drivers home. We thought our guide was coming to get us. Overall a nice day but not what i thought i was booking.
Highly recommend this tour! Paradise Cave sparkles and is easy to explore. Village Charm is fun with buffalo riding, feeding ducks, fishing, and cake making. The vehicle is comfortable, and lunch is delicious. Jessica is knowledgeable and cheerful.
A memorable day from Dong Hoi! Paradise Cave is cool, wide, and beautiful. Village Charm is fun with buffalo riding, feeding ducks, fishing, and cake making. The vehicle is comfortable, and lunch is tasty. The guide is friendly and enthusiastic.
What an amazing experience. I booked the Paradise Cave with village charm through Sovaba and every tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and tells you about the history of the caves, the different types of caves, and really everything there is to know about the caves. You can request an English tour if needed but they also taught us some Vietnamese. The tour is a good size too, not too big. The meal provided is a large feast made by locals and is delicious. I then went to The Tang Duck farm where I got to feed ducks and ride a water buffalo. From the tour guides, to the drivers, to the locals we meet, Sovaba makes us feel less like tourists and more like family.
Highly recommend if you want to experience nature and local culture. Paradise Cave sparkles with beautiful lighting. Village Charm is peaceful, fun with buffalo riding, feeding ducks, fishing, and cake making.
Paradise Cave is truly stunning, cool, and spacious. Village Charm is fun with feeding ducks, riding buffalo, fishing, and making traditional cakes. The guide is attentive and caring. Highly recommend this tour.
