タムパイ洞窟探検＆ジャングルトレッキング3泊4日

We had an amazing 4night, 5 day bespoke tour led by the wonderful guide, Mr Long. The trip included jungle hiking and walking through many villages where we met the locals and learnt all about their farming and the traditional crafts each village specialised in. We made paper using traditional techniques and were invited to drink tea and “happy water” with the locals. We saw how incense was made, baskets woven, ceramic pots were made, and knives forged. All using traditional methods. The home stay was fantastic and we were made to feel very welcome and treated to delicious fresh local cuisine. We then drove to BaBe National Park, visiting the spectacular Ban Gioc Waterfall and Nguom Ngao Cave on the way. We spent two wonderful nights at the beautiful Ba Be Jungle House situated on the BaBe Lake. Mr Long made sure every day was exciting for us, while at the same time kept us safe. The day trip into Tham Phay Cave was incredible. The hike into the cave was picturesque and the cave itself was a unique and exciting experience. We were the only ones in there as it is privately owned and we had to wade through water for several kilometres with only headlamps to light the way. We just LOVED it!! We then had a delicious meal made by the local villagers before heading back to the Ba BeJungle House for a well deserved cocktail poolside and another amazing dinner. Our final day included kayaking, boating, visiting the huge bat cave, picking green tea with locals before arriving back in Hanoi. Our driver, also called Mr Long, was a lovely man who was an excellent and very safe driver. We already miss both Mr Longs. Especially our guide. He answered all our questions so thoughtfully, he really looked after us and had a great sense of humour. He was the perfect guide.

We had an absolutely beautiful experience at Ba Be Jungle Houses, especially during the 2D1N tham phay Cave expedition. It’s something I will never forget, such a unique and special journey that the four of us shared together. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. The team was incredibly warm, kind, and attentive. We are strict vegetarians and don’t eat eggs, but they went above and beyond to accommodate us. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared, and they truly made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout. The trek itself was amazing. The cave expedition was simply unforgettable, truly one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, hoan, was wonderful. He was not only very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the jungle, but also explained the history and formation of the cave in such an engaging way. His kindness and passion made the experience even more special. Every little detail was taken care of, and everything ran on time, which made the whole trip smooth and stress-free. Receiving a medal at the end was such a proud and memorable moment for us. The next day was more relaxed, which was perfect after all the trekking and climbing, it gave us time to really soak in the experience. We did boating, kaayaking, temple visit and free swim in the river. Overall, this was an incredible experience made even better by the amazing people at Ba Be Jungle Houses. I would highly, highly recommend it to anyone looking for something unique and unforgettable.
