Really hadn’t expected the caves to be so big and extensive! Both caves very different - one dry, one flooded. The walk in Paradise Cave was amazing - steep steps down into the heart of the cave and then boardwalks throughout. Beautiful stalagmites and stalactites with many different shapes and sizes. Phong Nha Cave was equally amazing, taking a boat tour deep into the cave. About 25 minutes by boat to the cave using the engine, and then the boat team rowed/paddled us deep into the cave. Huge caves! Wonderful experience! Our tour guide Andy was great!

Very nice tour into the 2 caves, which are very, very impressive. This firm made the tour very enjoyable additionally. Ms. Thuyen gave big efforts to give many explanations, to help so far as she could and to take very good care for everyone of the group. It was also very good that we had time to explore the Paradise cave by ourself. I liked also very much the lunch in the restaurant that the firm had chosen for uns, it was delicious.

The two-day visit to Phong Nha was awesome and very well managed by the company. Our guide, Tuyen, was wonderful — full of energy and lots of fun, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We did Paradise cave, Phong Nah cave, dark cave, duck farm, mooc spring during these two days Bao, the driver, was friendly, pleasant and always on time. Totally recommend this company for anyone planning a visit to Phong Nha.

Text: I was amazed at the largest cave I have ever seen! It was worth coming. Chocolate, the tour guide, was polite and respectful in his explanation and response. Lunch was also delicious. Thank you very much.

Had a great tour today!! We were during Vietnamese New Year and there were almost no other tourists during the tour which made the tour very authentic. Chocolate (her call sign) was a very nice guide who guided us through the caves. She told a lot about the cafe and was able to answer her questions well. Thanks for this super experience!

Superb journey. We enjoyed a wonderful day with Chocolate. She is really passionate about this job. The driver Buffalo also drives smoothly. We visited Paradise cave on foot and Phong Nha cave by boat. And we finished the day with local rice wine. Hope to see the astonishing caves in the future with them. 极好的旅程。我们和Chocolate 一起享受了美好的一天。她对这份工作真的很热情。司机Buffalo 也开得很平稳。我们徒步参观了天堂洞穴,乘船参观了Phong Nha洞穴。我们用当地的米酒结束了这一天。希望将来能和他们一起看到令人惊叹的洞穴。

It was really good. The overall price is totally worth for what you get. The total tour time was around 8 hours, which may sound like a lot, but it passed by in a fly. There were many other people at the sites, but not so much for it to feel crowded. The food ophered was great and the restaurant atmosphere was well achieved. Our tour guide Andy was great, friendly and a lot of fun, he did amazing at his job. Would totally recommend the experience for anyone visiting Vietnam.
