Paradise Cave

Paradise Cave (Dong Thien Duong ) discovered by scientists of the British Caving Research Association in 2005, has the length of 31km, the longest dry cave in Asia. With naturally primitive features, Paradise Cave looks like a landscape painting, making it very attractive to visitors. According to spelunkers, the deeper one journeys into the cave, the more one feels the wells of heavenly clarity all around. There are a series of white crystal stalactites resembling glass pillars and many other spectacular formations.

Our visit to Paradise and Phong Nha Caves was exceptional! The sights are beautiful and impressive. Everything went as planned, without delay or unpleasant surprises. Above all, Nick our guide was fantastic. He knows the history of these caves well and his comments are always relevant. What a beautiful discovery, thank you Nick. Jimmy and Manon , Quebec, Canada.

A very nice day well organized, with Nick, our guide, perfectly bilingual English and very funny. You just have to let yourself be guided, everything is done to make the visit go perfectly. Lunch in the restaurant was hearty and well served. The advantage of being in minibus (10-12 people maximum) and no rush, we have time for everything.
Great wonders

I highly recommend this day trip and tour company! :) Our english speaking guide Nick was a fun, well informed, passionate Human! He is also an enciclopedia of knowledge when it comes to Vietnam and Caves. The two caves are so big and magical that it felt, in a positive way, like I was walking through another dimension. The mid day meal was both tasty and filling with lots of vegetarian options. I’m very grateful I spent the money to have everything organized for me. I had a great day! :)
Mind-blowing and informative

What a wonderful, action packed, mind-blowing and informative day. Nick collected us from our hotel, drove us to Paradise Cave, while answering all our questions about life in Vietnam, then accompanied us on the walking tour of Paradise Cave, lunch and the boat tour of Phong Nha Cave. He was friendly and professional throughout, both interesting and interested in us. Lunch was large, varied and delicious. We were a group of three, touring the caves in the quiet off season. I whole-heartedly recommend this tour.
Great experience

Nick (Ngoc) was an excellent tour guide! Above all, I liked his cheerful funny way. That also brought the group together so we had a great time. Unfortunately, due to the level of the river we could not go by boat into the cave. But we were still able to look at part of the cave. That was a shame, but of course you can't change it when it rains a lot. The ride in the minivan was pleasant, the pickup went quickly as we were only a small group (8 people). Lunch was fantastic. Thank you so much!

Overall, the experience was great. The tour was well organized and executed. The best part was having both caves to ourselves (at least part of the time). Nick was very knowledgeable and personable. Definitely recommend and might come back.
