Things to do in Dong Hoi

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!

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.

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 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.
