What to expect

Since opening in 2010, Paradise Cave has mesmerized visitors with its natural grandeur, boasting heights of up to 72 meters and widths of 150 meters. Decorated with magnificent limestone formations such as white crystal stalactites resembling pillars, this 31.4 km-long dry cave, discovered by the British Caving Research Association in 2005, stands as Asia's longest. Explorers delve into its depths and experience a profound sense of clarity.

The Dark Cave offers an exhilarating adventure devoid of artificial lighting. Activities include zip-lining over a turquoise river, swimming into the cave, indulging in mud baths, and swimming in an underground lake.

Review for: Full Day Adventure

At Dark Cave, we enjoyed zip lining, cave exploration, a mud bath, kayaking, swimming, and fun river activities. The cave itself is completely pitch dark, which makes the experience even more thrilling. They provided life vests and helmets with mounted flashlights, making it safe and easy to explore. The water was crystal clear and a stunning shade of blue, adding to the magical atmosphere. Our guide Mr. King was knowledgeable and experienced, making the adventure both safe & exciting. We also explored Paradise Cave, which was equally breathtaking in a completely different way. The tour included a buggy ride up to the entrance of the mountain, followed by an incredible cave exploration. The massive formations and beautifully lit interiors were stunning. Our guide Tuyen, also known as Chocolate shared great insights about the region and made the experience more engaging. The entire tour was organized seamlessly by Phong Nha Discovery Tours. Everything was well managed and professional.

That was a great experience. 1. company contacted me in WhatsApp in advance days before the tour. 2. Tour guide called me personally to inform me about exact time of pickup. 3. Tour guide went into the lobby personally to pick us up, so i didn't have to look for right vehicle and couldn'tbe confused. 4. Tour guide has great English. 5. Tour guide made great literally third part from the whole experience. Very informative, nit to much talking, not boring, great guest connection. 5. The caves itself is unbelievable great! 10000 times recommend!!! I don't think any caves would surprise me after what I have seen today. Dark cave is great muddy experience too. Didn't expect that fun! some NOTES: 1. u need to have bikini or sweater. 2. part of the Dark cave experience is zip-line: not allowed for weight under 40kg and over 90kg. 3. Dark cave is pretty dark (obviously) and would not recommend for claustrophobic. 4. Dark cave experience is going through water and bit coldish than the sea

This tour is worth the money. The tour guide was enthusiastic, the group of 10 people, including 8 foreigners, so he had to present both in English and Vietnamese. Thien Duong Cave is beautiful. Delicious and filling lunch. The thrilling games at Chay River are great, going to Dark cave to take a mud bath is also interesting, fully equipped equipment.

Great experience, and wonderful tour guide. The lunch could have been better considering the amount paid. Also should have informed that you will need water shoes, as walking in the dark cave barefoot causes cuts on the feet from the corals. Rest was great.

Dong Hoi has a great itinerary. The tour guide introduces each scenic spot in detail. There are two scenic spots where you can get off the car and take pictures. The main tourist attractions, Paradise Cave and Black Cave, have just the right amount of time to stay. It will not be a rushed itinerary. When playing in the water at the Black Cave, valuables You can wear sandals when you put them in the car. Your feet will not hurt when walking in a dark cave.

Review for: Full Day Adventure

Initially, we booked a trip to Paradise Cave and Black Cave, but the tour guide mistakenly thought it was a trip to Paradise Cave and Phong Nha Cave. The price is about NT$400, but since it was about 14 degrees on the day of arrival, I didn’t want to go into the water. , so just make a mistake, Phong Nha Cave is also a great experience.

The Paradise Cave is very big, and you can see the changes of stalactites. The black cave is full of mud, so you have to be careful when walking, but it is also a very special experience. The tour guide speaks very good English and his introduction is very humorous.

The trip was great. The tour guide is extremely enthusiastic, speaks both English and Vietnamese well, gives a lot of useful information and is very humorous. The scenery is beautiful and the food is quite delicious. It's just a shame that the tour wasn't a little longer, there's nothing to complain about.
