Touch the Earth’s Hidden Wonders – One-Day Tour from Hue to Phong Nha & Paradise Cave
Escape the city and journey deep into the heart of Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cruise along the serene Son River, passing through the poetic Tram Me village, and glide straight into the jaw-dropping beauty of Phong Nha Cave – home to the world’s longest underground river and spectacular stalactites.
Then, trek 1.6 km through a lush tropical forest and conquer 500 stone steps to reach Paradise Cave, a true natural masterpiece. Nicknamed the "Palace beneath the Earth", its vast chambers and shimmering formations feel like stepping into another world.

5.00Phong Nha cave and Paradise were a cool escape from the hot Vietnamese weather. The sheer beauty of the formations made the heat outside totally worth it. A perfect day with the tour.
Amazing experience !

5.00The contrast was amazing. Phong Nha felt like a classic, rugged cave adventure. Paradise Cave, with its lighting and walkways, felt more majestic and accessible. I enjoyed both. Kudos to our tour guide, who helped us prepare a delicious, filling lunch with lots of local food. I love Vietnamese food.
Ha is a superstar and a saviour!

5.00I highly recommend Sovaba travel to anyone wanting to visit this area of Vietnam. We traveled from Hue using their service to visit paradise cave and phong hu cave. From the beginning communication was outstanding. The tour was amazing. Our tour guide, Victor, was extremely knowledgeable and fun. He helped us as much as possible when our situation went bad. Due to extreme flooding in Hue, we were stuck without our belongings in Dong Hoi for multiple days! Every step of the way, Ha was there to help. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable, keeping us updated and helping us to get our belongings and continue our travels. We are truly grateful to Ha, Thuy and the Sovaba team. Without Ha our situation would have been much much worse, her positive attitude and determination kept us going. Thank you for everything ☺️
Totally worth it!

5.00The boat ride was a highlight. The feeling of gliding into the darkness of Phong Nha cave was amazing. Paradise Cave is exactly what it sounds like - a true paradise. Thank you Sovaba Travel for a complete tour! Not only that, you also helped me book bus tickets from Hue to Quang Binh and vice versa! Great service!
Great Tour

5.00What an amazing day exploring Phong Nha and Paradise Caves! The drive from Hue was long but comfortable, and completely worth it once we arrived. The caves are absolutely stunning — Paradise Cave especially feels like stepping into another world. Our guide was friendly and informative, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. A fantastic day for anyone who loves nature and adventure!
Stunning caves, worth the crowds

5.00The caves are incredible, but crowded. Paradise Cave was a bit busy, but you can't blame people for wanting to see something so beautiful. Phong Nha was a bit more peaceful. Still, a fantastic trip overall.
A professional, young...
