Well worth a visit to this very special place, simply amazing! Truly spectacular, if you like natural attractions, these caves are one of the best along Sapa and Halong Bay.

Beautiful boat trip up river into this huge cave. Fun going through caves in the boat. Only a little walking required.

These caves are huge and beautiful. Especially enjoyed the 'Dark Cave' where we were able to swim through certain parts of the cave with head torches. These caves will soon be overrun with tourists though so go soon if you can!

We were interested to see the caves in the phong nha ke-bang national park. There wasn't much info on visiting these wonderful caves except the organized trips from the farmstay company which were for us, simple backpackers, quite expensive. We decided to stay in dong hoi (next to highway 1, hotel 10$) and to rent a scooter and visit the... More

If you can only see one cave - go to Paradise cave , you will not be disappointed. Our driver took us to cave parking lot where we purchased our tickets , I think it was about 500.000 for 2 people for the boat and entrance fee. There was my husband and I and 3 Vietnamese people on the boat... More

It was such a pleasure to visit and experience these unique and unspoilt environments. Swimming in the caves was a real treat.

Not sre if it is worth the money as it is really similar to Tam Coc, so would suggest you chose either one or the other.
