5.00Great experience! The guides „the king“ and andy are great, speak perfect english and really provide information about the caves. (Probably the best tour guides I had so far in vietnam.) They are funny and look after everyone. Lunch was really good. Paradise cave is huge and massive, dark cave is fun and something special with the mud bath.
Amazing time at the Paradise and Dark Cave!

5.00Had an amazing time exploring the Paradise cave (with Andy as our guide) and the Dark cave (with The King)! The pick up van was on time at our accomodation (even receiving a text confirmation the day before) and the whole day went so smoothly. Both guides spoke perfect English and were lovely people to chat with and to learn about more about the history of this area. While the paradise cave is the most popular (for good reason - the cave is spectacular and accessible for all), don’t miss out on the fun that’s waiting at the dark cave! Swimming in a cave that was previously underwater, seeing fossils and painting yourself with mud (don’t forget the zip line to the entrance!) - it’s perfect and not seen enough. Highly recommend this group if you want a day that is smooth, without worry and educational (and of course the chance to see natural marvels of the world)!
