5.00Marlene and me spent the day with "chocolate" and the driver "buffalo" (Đạt) to visit the paradise and Phong na cave and had a great time with them. Both of them are very sweet and I can only recommend the experience. Chocolate is happy to answer all questions about Vietnamese culture and the life in Vietnam. We also had lots of fun with Đạt (we were sitting in the front) despite the language barrier. Wish you two all the best! Florian
Excellent experience

5.00I had a great experience with Phong Nha Discovery. I was recommended the company by my hotel and contacted them through WhatsApp. The communication was great, they answered all my questions quickly. As I was arriving on an overnight train at 6.30am they sent a driver to collect me from the station and let me rest at the office until the tour started. Then I had a lovely day with Chocolate as tour guide offering explanations of the area and the caves and keeping us on schedule. I especially loved Paradise Cave, and I appreciated that we had the explanation at the beginning but were then left to experience the cave in our own time. It's truly spectacular and, at this time of year, was peaceful, with plenty of time to appreciate nature's sculptures. We also had a very good lunch included with some time to rest between caves. And at the end of the day I was dropped off at my hotel. Thank you Phong Nha Discovery for a wonderful day!
Great cave day

5.00Perfect tour for one day. The Paradise Cave is amazing, walking through the cave feels like You're in another world. The lunch was excellent and I even got some extra vegan dishes. The boat tour to Phong Nha Cave is also very nice and astonishing. Our tour guide Chocolate was such a lovely and kind guide with a lot of knowledge about the national park and the caves. Would definitely recommend doing this tour with her. Thanks again, Chocolate!

Incredible Caves Without the Extreme Price Tag

5.00Our visit to the caves in Phong Nha National Park was an absolute highlight. The scenery was stunning from start to finish, and the whole experience felt well thought out and exciting. A big shoutout to our guide, Chocolate—she kept the energy high throughout the entire trip and made sure everyone stayed engaged, motivated, and having fun. If you only have one day and want to see the most scenic caves Phong Nha has to offer, this tour is the perfect choice. It delivers an amazing experience without requiring multiple days or an extreme budget. There are other tours that cost huge amounts of money—anywhere from over 300 euros to several thousand euros—and often take multiple days. For travelers with limited time and a limited budget who still want an unforgettable cave experience, this tour is absolutely the right one. Highly recommended!
An Unforgettable Day at Paradise Cave with an Amazing Guide!

5.00We had an incredible 1-day tour of Paradise Cave, and it was made even more special by our guide, Tuyen. From the moment we were picked up, her friendly and welcoming energy set a great tone for the day. She is extremely helpful and went out of her way to make sure everyone in the group was comfortable. What we loved most was how interactive she made the tour—instead of just giving us facts, she engaged with us, shared interesting stories, and even helped us find the best spots for photos inside the cave. Paradise Cave itself is breathtaking, but having Tuyen there to guide us made it a 5-star experience. Highly recommended!"
