About this experience
In one day, you’ll explore Paradise Cave, the longest dry cave in Asia, and experience the thrill-filled Dark Cave, one of the region’s most unique adventure caves.
Unlike standard sightseeing tours, this experience takes you deep into untouched nature. Ride a golf cart through the jungle, climb to Paradise Cave’s entrance, and walk among massive stalactites and chambers shaped over millions of years. After enjoying a traditional Vietnamese lunch, shift from sightseeing to adventure at Dark Cave.
Here, excitement takes over as you zipline across the river, swim, kayak, crawl through muddy passages using headlamps, and relax in a natural mud bath inside the cave—no artificial lighting, just pure exploration. With hotel pickup, professional guides, safety equipment, and a mix of discovery and adrenaline, this tour offers a truly immersive and unforgettable Phong Nha experience that goes far beyond ordinary cave visits
