Really fun bit of controlled adventure! Paradise cave is full of spectacular formations and lots of photo opportunities. Dark cave was the highlight. I kayaked across and then we spent about 1 hour walking through the cave and going in the mud bath and 1 hour in the water park (ziplines, slides, balance beams, obstacle courses). Our guide Huong was very funny and brought his phone in to take lots of photos and sent them to us later. Highly recommended!

Good trip! The tour guide share the history of Phong Nha about the war. He also share us the knowledge about the rock👍🏿👍🏿 Dark cave is so exciting. Thank you for special arrangement to allow us to confirm the tour and go at the same day🙏🏾 if longer time in Dark Cave water park would be better

Before booking this tour, I was a bit skeptical because of the price, as it is definitely on the more expensive side. However, after completing the tour, I can highly recommend it to everyone. It was absolutely worth it. The combination of the two different cave experiences makes the tour very dynamic and unique. In Paradise Cave, you can admire the stunning and breathtaking formations, while the Dark Cave offers a much more adventurous experience with mud, swimming, and exploring in complete darkness. Before entering the Dark Cave, the zip line is a fun highlight, and afterwards there is still time to enjoy the water park activities such as kayaking and more. Our guide, Huang (also self-known as King), was excellent. He not only explained the tour activities and the caves in detail, but also shared interesting insights about the city, the country, and the local culture, which made the entire experience even richer and more engaging. We were a group of 12 people, which I found to be the perfect size. It was easy to interact with others, and especially during the Dark Cave activities, the atmosphere naturally encouraged conversations and teamwork, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, this tour is definitely worth doing if you are spending a day in the area. Highly recommended!

Great experience with our tour guide for this full day adventure starting from mud bath followed by water adventure and phong nha cave tour. Vegetarian options included in the tour were also good and our guide Huan and Anna were very helpful and helped us make our day memorable

Both caves are very different, and both are definitely worth a visit! Paradise Cave is all about sightseeing, while visiting the Dark Cave feels more like going on a lil adventure. It is highly recommended that you go in a small group with a great tour guide like King!

Had an amazing time exploring age-old caves, zip-lining, canoeing, swimming and having a ‘mud bath’ which exfoliated my skin and fixed my skin problem. Thor and the driver Vindiesel (probably not his real name), were wonderful. Thor was very thorough in his explanations and facts about the different locations we went to. Vindiesel was so welcoming and a safe driver. I’d recommend this to anyone no matter the age. My friend and I got more then we thought, it was better than expected.
Dear our valued customers, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an amazing adventure exploring the caves and enjoying all the activities—from zip-lining to the mud bath 😊 It’s great to know Thor and Vindiesel made your trip even more special with their knowledge and care. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back to Phong Nha for more unforgettable experiences! Warm regards, Phongnha Discovery Team
I had a great time with our guides Thor and Anna. The tour itself was great value as well - tickets and admission fees were all included and the tour guides handled everything very smoothly. Our driver, Vin Diesel (i suspect not his real name 😁) was also super friendly and very patient with us.
Dear our valued customers, Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We’re glad you had a great time with Thor, Anna, and our “Vin Diesel” driver 😄. It’s wonderful to hear everything ran smoothly and delivered great value. Hope to see you again on another adventure! Warm regards, Phongnha Discovery Team
I had a fantastic day in Phong Nha. It was a real adventure and the scenery is stunning. Such a varied day with walking through Paradise Cave and swimming/kayaking in Dark Cave. The mud bath is a surreal experience and definitely worth doing. “The King” was a fantastic guide - I highly recommend the trip
