We had a ton of fun. The dark cave was the highlight for me. Crawling through the smaller tunnels was great. The attached water park was great because it’s been incredibly hot here and getting to swim around in the cool water was a great way to beat the heat. Our primary guide - Davis - was awesome. He’s very knowledgeable about the caves and spent a lot of time with us making sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend a tour with David.
Hallo! Today, our family went on a tour of the Dark Cave and the Paradise Cave. This tour was very impressive. The Paradise Cave, with its many stalactites and stalagmites, looked like a huge ancient temple. The Dark Cave was both mysterious and fun. David was our guide throughout the tour. David provided us with detailed and interesting information about the caves and their history. He also suggested that we visit the Goose Farm, where we fed the geese and rode a buffalo. Today was one of the highlights of our time in Vietnam. Thanks to your team! Thanks to David!
Awesome expiernce. Thanks David for the wonder tour, the information as well as the awesome photos you took.
The trip was very nice. In the morning they dropped us off at the dark cave where we could use the zipline, walk through a cave until we came to the mud bath and after had about an hour time to swim, kayak etc. Afterwards they picked us up again to get some lunch and coffee which was fine. In the afternoon we went to the Phong Nha Cave on a small boat. Very nice views and interesting to see. We can totally recommend the trip, also because of our guide David! (Make sure you bring a waterproof case for your phone and water shoes, that helps a lot)
The tour was great, well-planned, and not rushed at all. We really enjoyed visiting Paradise Cave, it was beautiful and impressive. Lyly was very kind and professional, always making sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time.
Awesome day with very friendly people. Pick up and and Return wäre coordinated flawlessly. Highly recommend.
Super fun. Lily was a great guide and speaking English amazingly well. I took the full package and did the zipline, dark cave and Phong Nha cave. Definitely a must to do all 3. The zipline involves swimming and paddling kayaks, and make sure you’ve got a waterproof case and lanyard if you want to bring a phone! You’ll go straight on the zipline in your swimmers, swim into the dark cave, be geared up with a helmet and head torch and walk 500m, cover yourself in mud, then paddle out to the water slide and other fun activities. The bus will take you to lunch, then coffee, then a hardworking lady will paddle (yes, using an oar, not an electric or petrol motor!) 12 of you into the phong Nha cave where Lily will give you a history lesson on Vietnamese conflict. The tour guide and boat driver work so hard, so make sure you bring cash to tip them.
Dark Cave was such a unique experience. Mud bath, swimming, and ziplining were all included. Jessica ensured everyone felt safe during the activities. The boat trip to Phong Nha Cave along the Son River was also very relaxing. Lunch was simple but good. Worth every penny.
Pickup and drop off were smooth. Quang made the journey comfortable. The boat ride along the Son River to Phong Nha Cave was peaceful and beautiful. Highly recommend.
I had a really great adventure!! Everything was well organised from the pickup to the activities. The caves were stunning, by the end of the tour we had free time at the river water park with the turquoise blue water. Lilly was a great guide, funny and entertaining and also knowledgeable. The lunch included was delicious. Also great way how to meet other travellers. 10/10 recommended ☺️
