Things to do in Dong Hoi

This day trip is a must do, genuinely one of the best I have ever been on. The caves are stunning and our guide Trà (Jessica) literally made the trip 10/5 stars for me. She had a good sense of humour, was super professional and informative in making sure our group got the most out of the day, and really went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a good day😊 I would highly, highly recommend both Trà as a guide and this tour to anyone considering it!!

Our tour guide Trà was so friendly and fun! the tour was so good especially the Duck farm! the family run business was so hospitable!!!

Tuyen our guide is an absolute Superstar. she had the challenge of providing information in English and Vietnamese as our group had a 50/50 split. She gave lots of good info and made sure no one in the group got left behind. The value for the price we paid was quite reasonable considering it was transportation both ways and a very nice 7-8 course authentic Vietnamese family style lunch. note about the Paradise Cave tour: it’s A LOT of stairs to get up to the cave entrance. then once in the cave it’s a lot of steps down then back up. the large boats for Phong Nha c Cave were covered so no real need for hats or sunscreen thankfully. THANK YOU TUYEN for such a great tour!!!

The itinerary was great i enjoyed all the places we went to and our tour guide hoang was also great. I learned a lot from him and he made the tour very interesting with the facts he told. Would recommend to anyone visiting vietnam to go to dong hoi and take this tour.

everything good. lunch is cold and stale, no good. 😂 try afternoon tour, at least you catch sunset on boat. 9-11am at my son, so many people... had to run a little to group up again to keep to schedule. because of rice paper and boring lunch, little time at my son. because guide explaination is 60 min. 20 min walking. 20 min dance show. only 2 min left to close your eyes to feel the air and stones... because the other 18 min you have to run and rush to the other 2 sites beside the main one by speed walking. I think. if I could start over, id choose afternoon tour. because morning is so early and I did not have breakfast, so hungry. and rice paper making is a bit boring for my Chinese background plus lunch was 😕 so-so. I think it would be best to take your lunch and wake up late, relax, then do afternoon tour without the other 2 activities and no rushing plus sunset boat ride is way more beautiful... 🙃 than a 1pm ride 😅

our guide qyuen was very kind and explained every thing about the cave eco system. she generously took pictures of us every where. pick up and drop off was smooth. Definetly worth it.
