PARADISE CAVE AND DARK CAVE 1 DAY TOUR
The British Royal Cave Association discovered the Paradise Cave in 2005. After the survey journey, in 2010, they announced this cave as the longest dry cave in Asia, with 31.4 km in length. Thus, it is one of the most impressive and gorgeous wonders in the world.
Hence, many visitors call Thien Duong Cave the “Paradise on Earth” or “Underground Palace” because of the unique beauty of stalactites and stalagmites.
Phong Nha Dark Cave belongs to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Quang Binh, Vietnam. Especially, the aerial zipline across Chay River to reach the Dark Cave is a thrilling game waiting for you to experience.
Paradise Cave – Dark Cave Tour Detailed Itinerary
Pick-up – Explore Paradise Cave – Lunch
08:00- 09:00 am: Our driver and tour guide will pick you up at your homestay/ hotel in Dong Hoi or Phong Nha. Then, we will drive you to visit Paradise Cave first. We will reach the Paradise Cave eco-tourism site after 1 hour of driving by car.
Paradise Cave Phong Nha has a gorgeous and magnificent beauty like a royal palace. You will take the buggy car from the parking to the foothills of the cave, about 2 km.
Then, you must walk 570 meters to reach the cave entrance at 300 meters in height, and you may feel tired. However, when you enter the cave, all feelings of fatigue disappear because the temperature in the cave is only 18-22 degrees, which is very cool.
With this tour, you will be overwhelmed by the magnificent stalactites and stalagmites created underground over millions of years of formation. Our knowledgeable guide will give you fascinating information about the cave’s geological history, making your visit memorable.
You will admire myriad stalactites and stalagmites with different shapes, sizes, and multi-colors in the over 1km length of the cave. For example, the rice terrace, Thien Ha waterfall, Rong house, Lien Hoa tower, etc. Our guide will have interesting explanations about these stalactites and stalagmites.
After finishing the Paradise Cave exploration, we will enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant next to the beautiful jade color of the Chay River.
Explore Dark Cave – Chay River – Phong Nha/ Dong Hoi
1:00 – 04:30 pm: We will explore the Dark Cave and bathe in mud inside the cave. Plus, we also experience exciting activities on the Chay River.
Firstly, the staff will wear protective gear for you. Next, you will watch video tutorials about the journey and activities to explore the dark cave. Afterward, you will reach the Dar cave entrance by the high aeria zipline across the Chay River. Upon arrival, you can swim or walk a very short distance at about 6m to the meet-up point outside the cave.
If you choose to swim, you will feel the cool and refreshing that the river’s water brings. The guide will instruct you on some safety regulations after entering the meeting place inside the dark cave. Then, you will take off your life jacket to start the journey deep inside the cave to the mud bath spot.
The first passage to the cave is quite wide, with water, sand, and pebbles. Nevertheless, continuing to go deep inside, the road is narrower. It is only about 1m and quite slippery, so you must go slowly.
The Dark Cave has natural mud, which is very good for your skin. Remarkably, when you put the mud all over your body, your whole body will automatically float. Therefore, mud baths inside the Dark Cave Phong Nha will be a fabulous experience for you.
After a mud bath, we will move out to the passage near the cave entrance to shake off the mud. Then, we will wear the life jacket again to leave the cave then kayak, swim, and join many other exciting games at the Chay River.
5:00 – 5:30 pm: After finishing all activities, we transfer you back to your homestay/hotel in Dong Hoi city or Phong Nha town. Your Paradise Cave and Dark Cave 1 day tour ends. Phong Nha Cave Tours wishes you marvelous experiences and memories in Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park, Vietnam!
