What you can expect

Day 1: Travel from Da Nang/Hoi An to Phong Nha

Guests will travel from Da Nang/Hoi An to Phong Nha by sleeper bus. Please make your own way to the bus office as instructed to begin the journey.
After completing the check-in procedure, guests board the bus and begin the journey to Phong Nha. The estimated travel time is 7–8 hours.
We will pick you up at the bus drop-off point and transfer you to the homestay for check-in, rest, and preparation for the next day’s sightseeing activities.

Day 2: Paradise Cave – Phong Nha Cave Tour

07:30 AM: Begin your day with a hotel pick-up from Dong Hoi.

08:00 AM: Guests will travel from Dong Hoi to Phong Nha Village along the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail. During the journey, the tour guide will share stories about the historical significance, strategic importance, and cultural value of this iconic route.

08:45 AM: Pick-up at your hotel in Phong Nha town.

09:00 AM: Paradise Cave Exploration. Guests start the journey with a 1.6 km tram ride, followed by a short walk to the narrow entrance of the cave. Inside, visitors will be amazed by the vast, cool space, with ceilings reaching up to 60 metres high and a width of 120 metres.

You will conquer 500 limestone steps to reach the main chamber—an underground wonder illuminated by a beautiful system of white LED lights that highlight the magnificent stalactites and stalagmites.

The guide will share fascinating stories as you explore and take memorable photos. After about 2 hours, the group returns to the parking area to head back to Phong Nha for lunch.

11:30 AM: Enjoy a Vietnamese lunch featuring fresh local ingredients with a diverse menu suitable for all diners, including vegetarians.

01:30 PM: Continue the journey to Phong Nha Cave. Guests board a dragon boat for a 30-minute ride along the poetic Son River. From the boat, you will enjoy peaceful riverside scenery, local village life, and interesting stories shared by the boat operator.

As the boat enters the cave, nature gradually reveals its beauty through striking stalactite formations. Inside, the shimmering stalactites and stalagmites illuminated by torches create a magical, fairy-tale-like world.
You will learn about the cave’s formation and admire the underground lakes, sandy banks, and unique rock structures.

04:30 – 04:45 PM: End the tour at Phong Nha Cave and return to your hotel in Phong Nha town.

05:30 – 05:45 PM: Arrive back in Dong Hoi, officially ending the Paradise Cave – Phong Nha Cave Tour.
