5My experience in Vietnam
More experience and more history some part of Vietnam. But the weather’s very hot on July. I prefer on winter much more better. My guide tour is Anna. She’s good english and can explain for understand.
5BEST DAY TRIP IN PHONG NA!
Best trip ever! Our guide was THE KING and he was so informative and funny. The experience in the caves was incredible, and the water park at the end was a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend!!
5Brilliant experience and great tour guide
Really fun bit of controlled adventure! Paradise cave is full of spectacular formations and lots of photo opportunities. Dark cave was the highlight. I kayaked across and then we spent about 1 hour walking through the cave and going in the mud bath and 1 hour in the water park (ziplines, slides, balance beams, obstacle courses). Our guide Huong was very funny and brought his phone in to take lots of photos and sent them to us later. Highly recommended!
5Great experience

5Good trip
Good trip! The tour guide share the history of Phong Nha about the war. He also share us the knowledge about the rock👍🏿👍🏿 Dark cave is so exciting. Thank you for special arrangement to allow us to confirm the tour and go at the same day🙏🏾 if longer time in Dark Cave water park would be better
5Absolutely recommend!
Before booking this tour, I was a bit skeptical because of the price, as it is definitely on the more expensive side. However, after completing the tour, I can highly recommend it to everyone. It was absolutely worth it. The combination of the two different cave experiences makes the tour very dynamic and unique. In Paradise Cave, you can admire the stunning and breathtaking formations, while the Dark Cave offers a much more adventurous experience with mud, swimming, and exploring in complete darkness. Before entering the Dark Cave, the zip line is a fun highlight, and afterwards there is still time to enjoy the water park activities such as kayaking and more. Our guide, Huang (also self-known as King), was excellent. He not only explained the tour activities and the caves in detail, but also shared interesting insights about the city, the country, and the local culture, which made the entire experience even richer and more engaging. We were a group of 12 people, which I found to be the perfect size. It was easy to interact with others, and especially during the Dark Cave activities, the atmosphere naturally encouraged conversations and teamwork, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, this tour is definitely worth doing if you are spending a day in the area. Highly recommended!

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.
