Overview Phong Nha and Paradise Cave Experience

The two most beautiful caves in a single-day tour package! Enjoy a full day of excitement, by walking through the Paradise Cave and experiencing the Phong Nha Cave by boat. This is your chance to see the two highlights Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park has to offer, in just a single day!

Phong Nha Cave
The Phong Nha Cave carries the name of her city with pride. The second biggest cave in Vietnam contains a 14 km underground river, on which your tour will start in a relaxing boat. As falling water drops will fill the cave with a mysterious sound, you’ll be guided downstream by boat. Stalactites and stalagmites will fill the scenery and different colors of lights create a mystic atmosphere. We’ll set our eyes on several rock formations, such as ‘The Lion’, ‘The Royal Court’ and ‘The Buddha’. Not to mention nature outside the cave, untouched riverbanks and forests. There is a reason why it’s called the one and only Phong Nha Cave, and it’s time for you to find out why!

Paradise Cave
If mother nature had a palace, it would be the Paradise Cave in Phong Nha Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park for sure. It waited millions of years to be found and was opened to the public in 2010. With a length of 31 km, named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and holding many fine pieces of natural art, it is simply breathtaking.

The wooden paths will take you all the way to the accessible end of the cave, a little over 1 km. Make sure your camera is charged, as you’ll see countless cristal and shiny stalactites and stalagmites pass by. Many have described it as the most unique cave Phong Nha has to offer, so missing out on the surprisingly beautiful Paradise Cave is not an option. Climbing the 500 steps to reach the entrance of the cave will take some effort, but every step will be worth it.
