A great day out! - Such a great tour! I was blown away by the service of Moc Nam Adventure. It was nice to go to the E Cave as it was privately managed and therefore not overcrowded. We received a wonderful lunch and had plenty of time to relax at the cave. The hike to and from the cave is tough at points but worth it for the view!

Great day! - Great trip. Good condition recommended because you go over the mountain but the path it self not overly difficult to. You do climb over some rocks but there are never sny hights or otherwise dangerous points. The dive at the caveis so rewarding and refreshing. Kayak into the cave is also a great experience. And the lunch was topnotch. No quik meal but an extensive meal with lots of choice and more then enough for everyone. Last but not least. The guides were absolutely great.

Experience you will never forget! - Had a super fun day!! Started with a tough hike, especially because of the heat. Then you go through the cave on a SUP board, have lunch in nature and swim in the clear water. Guide is very professional and super enthusiastic! More than worth the money :)

Beautiful experience - It was incredible very enjoyable experience , good English , great personalities from the tour guides especially Duc (D) and Jack , great food after the trek and incredible experience provided in the caves . Totally recommend , ps bring a backpack with extra pair of socks for after the cave and maybe an extra shirt and shorts , the rest they provide , also the trek is level 3/4 so if you are overweight or never done sports be prepared the hardship.

A day full of fun and wonderful experiences - We had a wonderful day! The caves are very beautiful and the tour was very well organized. Sometimes it is not easy to overcome the obstacles, but the staff always gave us a helping hand. After lunch we had some free time and played volleyball with the tour guides. We had a lot of fun. I can only recommend the tour!

Must try! Super awesome! - Recently went on the E cave adventure with these amazing tour guides, and I can't praise them enough! They were incredibly helpful and motivating throughout the entire journey. Not only did they go out of their way to ensure everyone finished the trek, but they were also super friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The food they provided was absolutely amazing, and they made sure we had enough rest and snacks to keep us energized. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a fantastic experience! Vinh (our guide) was super nice and genuinely cared for each and every guest personally!

Great trip, cave to visit, one of the best day trips I've done in vietnam - I found the bike in to the cave location hard, but in saying that I am not young or particularly fit but the guides did all they could to make it as easy as could be, once there , I am say it was well worth the hike, it was a beautiful cave, the water was pristine blue and the cave itself was such a great thing to have visited, the crew were very helpful, lunch was great and they provided everything that you could possibly need , even a diving mask to explore the opening of the cave. I really enjoyed the trip and have taken away with me one of the best trips, experiences I've had in Vietnam...thanks to the crew for a great day...

Disappointing experience - We did the one day trip to the E cave and we are quite disappointed by the way it was organized and by our guide.
First, the location is stunning. The cave and the water is beautiful and the hike there, is through the jungle. The itinerary seemed great.
However the poor organization of the excursion and the lack of knowledge from our guide, made the whole experience disappointing.
Our guide simple didnt follow the itinerary. We were supposed to enter the water cave and kayak in it for a distance of 1.2 km for approximately one hour. Instead, we entered the cave and after 30 minutes we were out.
Also, although it was explicitly written that our guide will take underwater shots with a gopro camera, this never happened.
When we mentioned this to her, she said that she doesnt have the camera and that in any case, the company never sends the videos to the clients!
We have selected this excursion over another because of its itinerary which includes spending more time in the cave and take the underwater videos. However we experienced exactly the opposite. The other group in the end stayed longer in the cave and they did shot underwater videos.
All the above in combination with our "loud" guide who literally didn't stop speaking and laughing throughout the hike, the rest-time and the kayaking as well as her lack of leadership made this experience much less than of our expectations
