New and adventurous experiences true to the nature of a trekking tour. Thank you Jungle Boss
I had a great time discover the beauty of the Ma Da Crystal Lake and Tra An. The tourguides (Trang, Tai and Long) helped me kindly along the way. Good lunch with local foods and ginger tea. I will come back for the other trekking options in the future. Thanks Jungle Boss Team.
It’s super fun and the tour guides are super nice. It’s worth a try. However, the road section is quite difficult and you need to evaluate your physical strength before participating.
The tour was difficult but everything was okay. He is perfect tour guide for me. Helped me a lot and enjoyed a lot of time. He provided gifts to us and gave it to me and others. I really recommend this tour.
An Unforgettable Adventure The Elephant Cave and Ma Da Valley trek with Jungle Boss was hands down one of the best experiences I had in Vietnam! From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well-organized and exceeded my expectations. Our guide Nhung was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the caves making the entire journey informative and fun. The trek itself was the perfect balance of adventure and natural beauty. Hiking through the lush jungle, Jumping in crystal-clear water, and exploring the awe-inspiring Elephant Cave made for a truly unforgettable day. The views in Ma Da Valley cave is absolutely breathtaking — it felt like we had stepped into another world. Lunch by the river was delicious and thoughtfully prepared for our vegan preference, and the team made sure everyone felt safe and supported throughout the trek. Jungle Boss clearly cares about responsible tourism and preserving the environment, which made the experience even more meaningful. If you’re visiting Phong Nha and looking for a genuine adventure that gets you off the beaten path, this trek is a must. I’d recommend Jungle Boss to anyone.
Son, the tour guide, was very accommodating and took care of us. The trek was intense and exciting, leading us into the jungle along a rainy path. Worth an experience.
loved the experience. my 9 year old was really taken care by the whole team. vegetarian food was so tasty . thank you for making our trip memorable
The tour was an extraordinary experience! Our guide, Boo was very funny, so helpfull and a real expert for the area. The spots we reached were magnificent and the food was delicious. It was very adventurous, as we had to climb the rocks, swam in the dark cave, crossed rivers and made our way through the mud. We ended the tour with some bruises, scratches, dirty cloths and a ton of unforgettable memories. It is a real pleasure to explore the jungle and the caves with such an expert guide, we would definitely recommend for people who enjoy a challenging trekk and don’t mind getting dirty.
The hiking was harder than I expected. If it is rainy, be prepared for lots of mud. All of the guides were really helpful and took good care of the group.
