Fantastic 5.0
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!!

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.

Great 4.0
My plans changed, and I wanted to change the date of my ride, but I couldn't. I had to cancel the entire booking, and I couldn't even do it through the app, which was very confusing. Also, the voucher took a long time to arrive, which made me anxious. The sleeper car itself was comfortable.

What to know before visiting Dong Hoi

Quick snapshot of Dong Hoi and what to expect

Dong Hoi is a compact coastal destination where tours, water activities and spa-style massages dominate visitor bookings. Demand fluctuates through the year, with noticeable peaks in spring and dips in autumn, so the city alternates between lively high season and much quieter stretches. This rhythm shapes when attractions and day trips feel busiest.

Best months to visit and how prices behave

According to Klook booking data, the busiest month is April while October sees the lightest demand. Prices move independently of demand at times: the priciest month on record is November, whereas Klook bookings show April is typically the cheapest month for activities. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in April or May; for the peak-season atmosphere and busiest activity schedules, aim for April or July when demand is highest. Note that November can be comparatively expensive even though it isn’t the busiest month.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Filipino travellers tend to book about four days ahead on average, with many last-minute bookings possible a day before travel and earlier planning useful if you want more choices. If you’re travelling in peak months named above, locking in popular tours a couple of weeks ahead helps secure preferred times; for short, spontaneous trips, many experiences remain bookable at short notice. Use Klook to compare available tour and water-activity options and confirm your preferred time slots.
