The caves were great. Tra (Jessica) was amazing and was very funny. Would definitely recommend. Very fun!
A great day with HDV Lily. Very enthusiastic and fun. I suggest you choose a sovaba tour.
The tour with Lily was very good, well organised, we didn't have to think about anything, just enjoy. Lily made sure everyone could understand her. She answered many questions and gave interesting information about the area and people. She made sure the group was comfortable and introduced us. She was funny and easy to talk to. We got a large and delicious local sharing meal and free water all day. Everything was taken care of. Lily made sure we had the best experience by booking the trip to Phong Nha cave before noon when less tourists were there. The Paradise Cave was amazing and quite calm.
Great full-day experience, well organized. Special mention to Lyly, who is very friendly and always has an interesting anecdote. Arnaud
Was a great day trip. Everything we did was great. Trip advisor use a company for this trip. Sivan’s travel runs the tour. It might be cheaper to book directly through them.
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.
