7:30 AM – 8:00 AM | Pick-Up in Dong Hoi
Begin your journey with a smooth pick-up from your hotel, the train station, or Dong Hoi Airport. Travellers arriving early from morning buses or trains can rest comfortably at Sovaba Travel’s office before departure. Once everyone is ready, the group sets off towards Phong Nha–Ke Bang National Park.
8:45 AM | Pick-Up in Phong Nha Town
Guests staying in Phong Nha will be collected from their accommodation as the group continues deeper into the national park to begin the day’s first major experience.
9:00 AM | Paradise Cave Exploration
Your visit to Paradise Cave begins with a peaceful 1.6 km electric buggy ride through lush forest, followed by a gentle walk to the cave entrance.
Once inside, the scenery transforms dramatically. A vast underground world unfolds before you:
Majestic ceilings towering 40–60 metres high
Chambers spreading more than 100 metres wide
Naturally cool, refreshing air throughout
Spectacular stalactites and stalagmites illuminated softly by LED lighting
Follow the wooden walkways as your guide shares stories about the cave’s unique formations and geological history. Spend around two hours exploring this incredible “underground palace” before returning to the surface.
11:30 AM | Lunch in Phong Nha
Enjoy a flavourful Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant inside the national park. The menu features fresh regional specialities and vegetarian options, offering a perfect break before the afternoon adventure.
1:30 PM | Dark Cave Adventure
Your afternoon continues at Dark Cave, where thrill and excitement await. Soar across the Chay River on Southeast Asia’s longest double zipline, taking in stunning aerial views. Then, paddle through emerald waters by kayak and cool off with refreshing river activities.
Equipped with headlamps, step into the mysterious depths of Dark Cave to explore its shadowy corridors. Deep inside, unwind in a natural mud bath—a fun, rejuvenating, and completely unique experience.
This blend of adrenaline, nature, and exploration makes Dark Cave one of the most memorable parts of the tour.
