Tour Itinerary: From Beauty to Adventure
This full-day Phong Nha Cave and Dark Cave tour is designed to give you a complete experience of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park’s wonders. Here’s what you can expect from your adventure:
Morning: A Boat Trip to Phong Nha Cave
Your Phong Nha Cave and Dark Cave tour begins as our guide and driver pick you up from your hotel. The first stop on your tour is the magnificent Phong Nha Cave, one of the most beautiful caves in the national park. You will take a scenic boat ride along the Son River, admiring the lush landscapes as you approach the cave’s grand entrance. Inside, you’ll glide through the impressive water-filled caverns, surrounded by stunning stalactites and stalagmites that have been formed over millions of years.
After exploring the cave, you’ll have a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, savoring authentic Vietnamese cuisine.
Afternoon: The Thrills of Dark Cave
Our Phong Nha Cave and Dark Cave tour continues after lunch with an adventure at the thrilling Dark Cave. This cave lives up to its name – it’s a completely wild and unlit experience. The adventure starts with a zip-line over the turquoise waters of the Chay River, followed by a kayaking trip to the cave entrance.
Inside, you’ll use a headlamp to navigate the darkness, leading to the highlight of the tour: a natural, mineral-rich mud bath where you can float effortlessly. After the mud bath, you can swim in the clear waters of Thuy Tien Lake or Bong Lai Lake to wash off the mud and finish your trip.
