Paradise Cave and Phong Nha Cave are both situated in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, an area rich with limestone mountains. The first 5km of Paradise Cave was discovered by the British Cave Research Association in 2005. By 2010, explorers had officially announced the full discovery of the cave, which stretches 31.4km in length. The cave’s widest section is approximately 150 meters, and its highest point reaches around 100 meters, making it the longest and largest dry cave in Asia.

National treasure! Not so well known yet - The caves are absolutely fantastic. Tons of diffrent stone formations, colours, shades, sizes…In formations you can see modern art you can see baroque etc. The tour was well planned and executed. Lot of sitting car though, I guess there’s no alternative. Paradise cave can be crowded so better to be there early. Guide Nick was just great. Spoke good English and had a lot of knowlege about the geography and history of the caves, also about history of Vietnam.
Lunch was good at the cozy restaurant by the river. Definitely one of the best tours we have been.

World-class experience!!! - Nick has a reputation of excellence around the world and he proved why today. A first-class tour with lots of fascinating facts and sights. Lunch was also incredible! A massive portion of food with lots of variety! The van was also super comfy. I 1000% recommend this tour, and I am known to be a very picky customer. Absolutely flawless!
Big shout out to our van driver as well for getting us to the caves and back to Dong Hoi safely. Great job Sir!

Nice trip to paradise cave and Phong Nha cave - We had a great tour with Sy as our guide. We got picked up at our hotel and drove to the paradise cave, where we walked up the 450 steps to the cave. After that we had a traditional Vietnamese lunch. We finished the day by getting a boat tour of the Phong Nha caves.
The tour was a nice mix of guided walks and also time to explore a little bit for ourselves. Sy was a really helpful guide, giving out fun facts and answering all questions

Highlight of Vietnam trip - We've had a great tour to the Paradise as well as Phong Nha cave.
The preparation of the tour was excellent, so we've been picked up at our hotel and had a convenient drive to the Paradise cave. Nick as our guide provided us with many useful information regarding the caves and was always very informative in replying to our different questions. Due to his professional background he speaks an excellent English.
After a delicious meal at the Dark Cave we visited the Phong Nha cave, which is even more impressive. On our way back the driver was so flexible to drop us off at the market instead at the hotel, which was highly appreciated.

Great tour and experience. - Very pleasant to have Sy as a guide. He told many things about the area and about the war in this area and the caves. He was the whole time with us and had extra drinking water in the car. Traveling with 3 young children(5,5,9). Sy handled it great.
Thanks for the experience today.
