Honestly don’t skip this. It’s special. - This tour was great value for money, had an entertaining guide and showed us all some of the more remarkable things we’ve ever seen. The caves are stunning. The immensity of the Paradise cave complex has to be seen to be believed; seeing the Phong Nha caves by boat was also incredible. I’m so glad we did this.

Unbelievable beautiful tour with a fantastic tour guide! - This was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on! Breathtaking views with an incredibly friendly tour guide! We also got a very delicious lunch along the way! I would recommend this trip to anyone going to Vietnam and definitely made the trip to Dong Hoi well worth it!

Paradise cave was amazing!!! - Loved so much the paradise cave but because we were in high water level season the cave with the boat became a walking tour instead and wasn't what we were hoping for. The lunch is great a bunch of shareable items for a table of 8. They were great to make vegetarian food options if needed and was a crowd pleaser. It was a long day make sure to wear really.comfy shoes and be prepared to sit uncomfortably in the boat to the last cave for 30 minutes... but highly recommend doing!

Cave tour with Andy - Andy was our tour guide and he was very informative, entertaining, knowledgeable and fun. We did the March morning tour and avoided the masses - best time to go so we could enjoy the serenity and magnificence of these amazing natural caves. Definitely rely recommend the tour

Disappointed by the tour operator - The pick-up at the hotel was on time. Afterwards we took the mini-bus to the national park, including detailed and interesting information from our guide Chocolate. We had enough time to visit Paradise Cave and enjoy the atmosphere there. The stalactite cave is beautiful! Lunch was very delicious! For us there were also many vegetarian options. Phong Nha Cave in the afternoon was a bit of a disappointment. We were informed in short that we were not going in on the dragon boat - as described in the tour description. We explored the cave on the short walk. We were disappointed. You can expect more for the price, especially transparency in advance. We had to take a boat to the cave entrance itself. When disembarking, our guide asked us to give a tip as the boaters did not have much. We found this request very questionable, above all it would be the tour operator's job to pay the boaters decently, so they do not depend on tip! With such a tour price you could expect that everyone involved will be paid decently!

Great places but false advertisement - The places were amazing but unfortunately the tour was not advertised properly. Starting from the title (it is not a small group tour since we were on a. If bus with more than 20ppl). The tour description said not more than 15 ppl and it wasn’t like that. Some of the pictures included in the tour description were part of another adventure tour the tour operator organizes but it is not the one you will book.

Expensive and not what we expected - The caves were impressive but we were unable to take the boat into Phong Nha cave due to the high water level, which we weren’t told about until the cave entrance. The pictures used to advertise the tour are not representative of the actual caves, in order to see the skylight openings in the paradise cave you need to do a separate full day hiking tour. The tour was also advertised as max 15 people but we were on a coach in a group of 26. Overall it was an ok but expensive way to see the caves, we wish we had just gone to the caves ourselves and bought entrance fees at gates.
