5.00Ha and Tracy, our tour guides, led us on a journey through spectacular caves and provided valuable and interesting information along the way. The ziplinng and water park were so much fun. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the mud bathing. I opted out for this part, which was no issue at all. A short wait, and we reunited to continue on with the kayaking. A great value for money tour, which I recommend and fingers crossed, you get Ha and Tracy as your wonderful tour guides (aka photographers).
Best overall experience

5.00I had booked a trip with Green Adventures and it was one of best experience I had in Vietnam. Our guide Ha Le was very friendly and helped us at all times along with maintaining a fun and enthusiastic atmosphere within the group. Ha also shared important knowldge regarding the places during the trip. She also clicked each and every members' photo and video durong dark cave expedition as we didn't take our phones there. I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Phong Nha.
To do!

5.00We had a great time at the thanks to our guide Ha. We started the day exploring the botanical gardens and saw a lovely waterfall. Then we went to paradise cave where our guide gave us lots of information and allowed us plenty of time to explore independently. We the had a very large lunch that was delicious with lots of options including for vegetarians. We spent the afternoon in the Dark Cave where our guide took lots of photos for us and really made the experience. The additional activities like swimming, zip lining and kayaking were also fun and great value that it was all included in the cost of the tour!
Over 50 and loved it!!

5.00This tour had three parts. Each stop was better than the last! We started with a short hike to a waterfall I thought was fantastic, then the next stop was even better! The main cave was beautiful and the dark cave was a real adventure. Lunch was tasty and had a good variety of food. The company was great. They even arranged our transportation from hotel in the town of Dong Hoi. I made a short video about our experience. BTW we’re an over 50 active couple and it was adventurous but very doable! https://youtu.be/uHMUUeKz1Jw?si=DlwBQ500UYQEbkRB
Lots of fun!

5.00Haha and Tahn were both fun and energetic guides! We all had a great day of full adventures: botanical garden (a bit too short though, a longer stop with a loop would be awesome), Paradise cave and Dark cave. Both are really worth it. The food at lunch was delicious. Thank you for this great day, ladies!

4.00Great fun! We only booked the caves and didn’t do the botanical garden so will just review the experience we had which was great! The guide Ha was knowledgeable and helpful, we were picked up from our Homestay, went straight to the paradise cave and after a short walk we saw spectacular sights inside. After that had a lovely meal and went on to do a zip line straight after, followed by exploring the Dark cave (probably not recommended to those who fear the darkness) with a bit of swim and a mud bath (do not wear light coloured clothing 😅 also bring your towel and shower gel)
