Day-by-day breakdown of your adventure.
Pickup: 07:45–08:20 from your hotel or the train station in Dong Hoi City, or 08:50–09:15 from your accommodation in Phong Nha center if you're joining from there.
Paradise Cave: Journey into the longest dry cave in Asia, set deep within the core zone of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park. A golf cart carries you 1.6km through the jungle from the main gate, followed by a scenic climb to the cave entrance that rewards you with sweeping mountain views (approx. 2 hours).

Frequently asked questions

Free pickup from your hotel or the train station in Dong Hoi City around 7:45–8:20 AM, or from accommodation in Phong Nha center around 8:50–9:15 AM. Drop-off is at 5:00 PM in Dong Hoi, Phong Nha Village, or at Dong Hoi Airport; pickups outside the designated area carry an additional surcharge.
What should I bring for the Dark Cave?
Swimwear, a change of clothes, and a towel — the Dark Cave involves zip-lining, swimming, a mud bath, and kayaking, so you will get wet. Lockers are available for your belongings, and life jackets and helmets are provided.
Do I need to know how to swim?
Basic swimming ability is recommended, since reaching the Dark Cave involves a swim after the zip-line and you kayak back out on the underground river — life jackets are provided. The tour suits ages 1–80 but is not wheelchair accessible.
How does the Paradise Cave visit work?
You spend about 2 hours at Paradise Cave, the longest dry cave in Asia — a golf cart carries you 1.6 km through the jungle from the main gate, followed by a climb to the cave entrance with mountain views. Entry is included in the tour price.
Will we definitely visit both Paradise Cave and Dark Cave?
You visit two caves in one day, and the exact pair depends on the option you choose: Phong Nha Cave + Paradise Cave, Paradise Cave + Dark Cave, or Dark Cave + Phong Nha Cave.
Is vegetarian food available at lunch?
Yes — lunch is a traditional Vietnamese meal at a local restaurant in Phong Nha village, with a vegetarian option available if you let us know your dietary needs in advance.

Children 1 m to 1.3 m tall pay the child's price; children above 1.3 m pay the adult price. The tour is rated suitable for ages 1 to 80.

Cancel 24 hours or more before the start time for a 100% refund; less than 24 hours before, there is no refund and changes are not accepted. The experience depends on good weather — if it's cancelled due to poor weather, you'll be offered an alternative date or a full refund.
