Highlights
Not only visiting famous caves but also getting an action-packed experience. You will have chance to do harnessed zip-lining over a turquoise river, swim into the mouth of the cave (life jackets included), walk through the dark with only the head torch on your mining helmet to illuminate the way, have mud fight in the buoyant mud baths deep in the cave and join in outdoor activities. You also have chance to reach to the longest dry cave in Asia - Paradise Cave. With naturally primitive features, Paradise Cave looks like a landscape painting; making it a natural wonder many have enjoyed since its opening in 2010.

5Excelent
It has been an amazing experience with the best tour guide Anna, super funny and nice. We started the day raining and almost flooded, and they adapted very quickly to the situation. The pick up was on time. And the caves have been fun to visit, completely different between them.

Anna and Chocolate are helpful a lot. We love the Dark Cave Adventure

The tour was excellent. Anna was an excellent guide and was great with our two children. She was very attentive and did a great job with answering questions and giving us some history.

About Dong Hoi
Dong Hoi is a coastal city in central Vietnam, the gateway to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park and its giant caves.
Dong Hoi is the capital of Quang Binh province, on a narrow stretch of Vietnam's central coast where the Nhat Le River meets the sea. The gate of the old citadel, Quang Binh Quan, still stands, though much of the city was rebuilt after the bombing of the Vietnam War. It is a quiet seaside town with a long beach at Nhat Le and a riverside promenade.
