Tours with Miss Hà Lê, Phing Nha Caves - We did a tour of the Botanical Gardens, Paradise Cave and finished with Dark Cave, Miss Hà Lê was a fantastic guide with so much knowledge to share. She really looked after us and made sure we had a memorable experience. The Paradise Cave was majestic, absolutely amazing. So beautiful. Definitely the high light. We had fun exploring the Dark Cave. The zip line to the entrance was a fun way to get across the river, for those who did not want to do the zip line, there were kayaks. The mud pool inside the cave is supposed to be very good for your skin, we had plenty of laughs covering ourselves in it. Free time in the water park was a great way to end the day.

A really great day - A really fun day out. Our hosts, Ha Ha and Sarah, were tremendous. The botanical gardens are nice and worth a quick visit, but the real meat of this tour is of course the caves. Paradise Cave is, frankly, jaw dropping. It's one of those places that simply can't be captured on a photograph. The Dark Cave is also impressive, but is more about fun and involves swimming, kayaking, zip lining and bathing in mud! And of course entering unlit cave tunnels with just your torch. The tour is very well organised, and lunch was absolutely superb. Would definitely recommend.

Do it by yourself - This one is hard to write a review on. Paradies Cave is an awesome visit worth, but dark cave is truly my highlight of the tour. The botanical garden is a little bit unnecessary and nothing much to see. It's not worth a visit in my opinion. Our leader Sarah has been kind and her English really great, but within our tour I sometimes felt a little rushed through. In other moments not at all, that was kind of odd. Both caves have been busy with other groups, which was a little sad. I heard from other tours that there weren't any other groups overall. In my opinion you can also visit the paradise cave by yourself and as I said the botanical garden you can skip. It's been fun, but not sure if I truly recommend it.
