You should contact the local operator via WhatsApp at +84-982-804-399 to know exactly what time you will get picked up at your location) - Paradise Cave - 08:40 Arrive in Phong Nha town and starts to visit Paradise cave - the longest dry cave in Asia Surrounded by forested karst peaks, this staggering cave system extends for 31km, though most people only visit the first kilometre. The scale is breathtaking, as wooden staircases plunge into a cathedral-like space with vast alien-looking stalagmites and stalactites. Get here early to beat the crowds, as during peak times (early afternoon) tour guides shepherd groups using megaphones. Paradise Cave is about 14km southwest of Son Trach. From the buggie drop-off, it’s a further 600m-plus sweaty climb up to the cave entrance. To explore deep inside the cave beyond the barrier at the end and with luck see the eyeless cave fish that are part of its ecosystem - Phong Nha - 12:30 Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Phong Nha village - Phong Nha Cave - After lunch. You will leaving Paradise cave to explore the most impressive Phong Nha cave. You will take a boat to cruise on Son river about 25 minute to the Phong Nha cave. While on the boat you will see the greenfield, people, houses and limestone along the river. Arrive in Phong Nha and start visiting, this cave is a water cave and famous for its rock formation which has been given names such as the “Lion”, the “Fairy Caves”, the “Royal Court”, and the “Buddha”. As the boats reach the caves they queue up, entering only one or two at a time. Engines die and the operators drag them along with long poles, slowly and methodically spearing them into the murky water. Once past the entrance, the immense cavern opens up. Giant stalactite chandeliers hang down from the ceiling. Without prodding or asking, everyone falls silent as eyes gaze up and the stone cathedral’s grandeur spills out. It’s a spectacular sight. - Dong Hoi - 16:00 Come back the vehicle for leaving Phong Nha. Group go back to Dong Hoi for drop off at your hotels/places. Around 17:30 we drop you off. End of the trip.

Magnificent caves - These caves are magnificent. In some parts you cannot but feel as if you are inside of a beautiful and serene cathedral. Nature is the best architect of all. Our trip was extremely well organised starting from hotel pick up and ending with hotel drop off, and everyone involved (the guide, driver, boatwomen...) did excellent work! Also, lunch at the local restaurant was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour.

The scale of the caves is... - The scale of the caves is breathtaking, it's also nice to be able to freely walk through paradise cave rather than in a large tour group as it's a very peaceful serene place
