Not only visiting famous caves but also getting an action-packed experience. You will have chance to do harnessed zip-lining over a turquoise river, swim into the mouth of the cave (life jackets included), walk through the dark with only the head torch on your mining helmet to illuminate the way, have mud fight in the buoyant mud baths deep in the cave and join in outdoor activities. You also have chance to reach to the longest dry cave in Asia - Paradise Cave. With naturally primitive features, Paradise Cave looks like a landscape painting; making it a natural wonder many have enjoyed since its opening in 2010.

Brilliant day with caves, ziplining, and swimming.

5.00Dreamy tour - Paradise Cave is incredibly vast and appealing. Dark Cave, on the other hand, is dark and surprising. Both are uniquely exciting. In between, there is great food at the water park - with seafood and excellent meat. Impressive is our tour guide "The King": Informative, funny, and thoroughly caring. I have had many tours in many countries - but never such excellent all-around support. The day was absolutely incredible - caves, water park, landscape. And finally, swimming in the cool river - in crystal clear, blue water! An absolute recommendation!
Amazing trip

5.00Quoc and Duong were our tour guides, and they were awesome. They were super friendly, easy to talk to, and knew a lot about the cave. They made the whole experience fun and exciting from start to finish. The atmosphere was amazing, and we had a great time exploring with them.
Such fun day

2.00Tour guide Hoàng (The King) told what felt like constant sexist and sexual jokes, including that he wished his wife was dead and suggesting that all the women on the tour could have sex with him. It's 2026 please find something else to joke about, there was lots of women on the tour and the humour was very uncomfortable. This online tour was also 30% higher than the price of the same tour offered by our hotel.
Just amazing, well worth...
