Phong Nha Caves Exploring 3 Days

Meeting point is at Hanoi Railway Station and take an overnight train to Dong Hoi in a shared cabin. The ride lasts about 10 hours.

Welcome to Quang Binh province, Dong Hoi Station! Here you will regain your energy with a big breakfast and get ready for the expedition in Phong Nha Cave in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. 

To get to Phong Nha Cave, we need to start from Xuan Son boat dock to embark the traditional dragon boat and go upstream. Along the ride, a magnificent view is opened up in front of your eyes with natural Karst mountains. 

Have lunch at a local restaurant. 

In this tour, we would like to promote eco-tourism by organizing activities relating to the environment such as boasting the diversity of flora and fauna. That is why we will be heading to the Botanical Garden. The garden is built in the centre of the national park with 6 main sites opening to tourists: Gio (Wind) Waterfall, Vang Anh Lake, a species showroom, a 30-meter natural pathway, plant nursery and precious and rare plants area. 

While walking on the natural pathway, you can catch a glimpse of the wild monkeys and porcupines in a semi-wild zone. 

Travel back to the hotel and take your leisure for the night. 

Today begins with the Paradise Cave. The Paradise Cave belongs to Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park and was discovered by the Bristish Research Association in 2005. Since then, it has been holding the first place of being the largest and the most stunning cave in Phong Nha - Ke Bang area. The surroundings of the cave resemble an imperial palace and is sometimes called “the underground palace”.

Have lunch at a local restaurant. 

The expedition continues with Chay River and Dark Cave. 

On the Chay River, you can try kayaking to feel the wind breeze and watch the lives under the turquoise water and the reflection of the extraordinary limestone mountains. On the river banks, the cornfields stretch along the way create such masterpiece of the nature. 

Afterwards, gear up with flashlight helmet and other equipment to explore the Dark Cave - a branch of Phong Nha Cave system. The Dark Cave is about 6 kilometer total in length and the home to many lakes including mud bath.

What really special about the Dark Cave is that you need to go zip-lining before entering the cave’s entrance. 

Water games are also offered in the area and opened for tourists. 

Head back to Dong Hoi City in the late afternoon.
