Great tour, fantastic experience, best tour guide highly recommended! - One of the best tours we did in Vietnam! Our tour guide ‘King’ the manager, was very informative paradise cave was beautiful and the dark cave was a great experience I felt like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie predator. We were picked up and drop off at our hotel also had a quick stop at his shop some local rice wine and a couple games of pool, book directly through the site to save a few bucks but worth every penny!

Paradise and dark cave were excellent - Not only was it a great experience, but a very unique way to see the caves. Dark cave especially was unlike any thing we have ever done.

Really recomend! - I would highly recommend this tour! It was very well organised. We visited the caves at the end of December and there were not many tourists. Our guide Tuyen was very helpful and friendly, answering questions when asked and not bombarding the group with excessive information all the time. Lunch was great, it was possible to ask for vegetarian and vegan options in advance, the portions were really huge. I will definitely recommend this tour to my friends if they decide to visit Vietnam and the Phongnha Caves.

Best guide, Magnificent caves - We Booked this trip through another Company and arrived in the station of dong hoi in the morning. Got picked up and sent to our hotel so we were able to take a shower and have breakfast.
We booked the phong na cave & dark cave trip but due to a small misunderstanding we got picked up for the paradise cave. Like Bob Ross would mention, it was a happy little accident. Paradise cave was wonderful and we’re happy we saw it!
The reason we picked up there was something wrong was that we were the only people on the tour ready for a swim and mud bath (dark cave) The moment we noticed there was something wrong we talked to our guide Sandy and she switched on the problem solving modus. Around noon we got dropped off at the dark cave.
We want to give a special mention to our guide Sandy, she was very enthusiastic and lifted the spirits of everyone in the minibus. It was early so some joy was needed 😅 Sandy had a lot of good info about the caves and their surroundings. She also answered other small questions we had. A joy to converse with!
The dark cave was different but also fun, the weather was not superb so we were not 100% ready to go swim in open water.
Still, fun experience all together.
Would recommend phong na ke-bang as a stop on your travelling through Vietnam.

Very cool! - Very happy with this trip. I was hesitating which caves I would do and ultimately chose Paradise and Dark Cave. The Dark Cave was a really unique experience and very adventurous, would highly recommend that one if you don't mind getting in the mud! The tour guides were really friendly and enthusiastic
