Things to do in Paradise Cave

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.

Due to a communication mix-up, we were only told the exact pickup time around 10:00 PM the night before, but everything went smoothly after that. It was very convenient to be able to leave our luggage in the car during the tour. Bottled water is also provided. Our guide, Jesica, was friendly and very approachable. She eagerly takes photos for you, so be sure to ask her! It seems that depending on the season, the water level can sometimes be too high to enter the cave, so you might need to check in advance, especially during the rainy season. Also, be aware that Paradise Cave involves about 4 km of walking round trip, including a mini-climb with elevation changes!

We had a really great trip :) thanks to our awesome tour guide Long! We topped up VND300k per person for the speed boat experience and it was fun and worth it. We still managed to kayak afterwards (you get to see different views kayaking and speedboating). Surprise cave was beautiful and climbing to the top of ti top island was tiring but gave excellent views. Seafood lunch was great too. Overall a worth it experience, we enjoyed ourselves, our tour guide Long was attentive and took great care of the group, gave good introduction and ensured we got great views. Highly recommended day tour! 💯

I had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Mr Long! Our ride was smooth and driver was very accommodating. Mr Long was very informative, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire tour. The weather was quite rainy, but he still made sure we were comfortable and helped us navigate around safely. He was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. His effort really made the experience enjoyable despite the rain. Thank you so much for making our tour memorable! Highly recommended! ❤️

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!!!

Paradise Cave is out of this world, a huge cavern with stalactites stretching on forever. The wooden walkway made it easy to walk and the lighting was beautiful. Our guide was friendly and gave great context. Good value for a full day out from Dong Hoi.

After countless hours of research, I ultimately chose **Paradise Elegance** for our two-day, one-night trip with my family. Although we didn't spend much time in the room during daylight hours, I opted for a balcony room for a better experience, to avoid feeling cramped, and to enjoy the view of Ha Long Bay first thing in the morning. ▪︎ Transfer Service The day before departure, a staff member and driver will communicate the departure arrangements via WhatsApp. We were picked up from Hanoi in a spacious 7-seater car (our hotel was in Hoan Kiem Lake, so we didn't need to go to a meeting point; we could board directly at the hotel). During the approximately 3.5-hour drive, a rest stop was arranged (where we could buy snacks and coffee). **Please note that the second day's itinerary ends at 10:45 AM, but you will still need to wait at the meeting point for about 1 hour for the transfer vehicle.** ▪︎ Itinerary Ha Long Bay itineraries typically include Ti Top Island and Surprise Cave. The main differences between tours lie in the ship's facilities and activities. Staff members will accompany guests to the attractions and provide English explanations, which is very thoughtful. ▪︎ Dining Lunch on the first day and breakfast on the return trip on the second day are served buffet style, offering about 8 hot dishes, 2 soups, salads, sushi, desserts, juices, and more. On the second morning, a light bread breakfast is provided before the day's activities begin. For dinner, each person can choose two main courses, with additional desserts, soup, and appetizers available. There was even a happy hour on the first day, with a buy-one-get-one-free offer on alcoholic beverages!

We had a wonderful experience on the Erina Cruise, which we booked for our honeymoon and my wife’s birthday. From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized, and the hospitality from the cruise staff was excellent. A special mention to Link, who warmly welcomed us and took great care of us throughout our journey. She was very friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The room was very comfortable, clean, and well maintained. The cruise team also arranged a birthday cake for my wife, which made her birthday celebration on board very special and memorable. As pure vegetarians, we felt that the vegetarian food options could have been a little more varied, but overall, everything else was excellent. A big thank you to the entire team, and especially Link, for making our honeymoon and my wife’s birthday so special!

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!!!
