Main activities

You will arrive at Ninh Binh station and board the SE1 train, which departs at 11:10 PM, heading towards Dong Hoi station. The train journey takes around 8 hours, giving you the perfect opportunity to relax, recharge, and prepare for an exciting adventure ahead.
The train will arrive at Dong Hoi station, where our vehicle will be waiting to take you straight to begin your Phong Nha - Paradise Cave Tour.
Guests will move from Dong Hoi to Phong Nha Village along the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail.
Visitors begin their journey to Phong Nha Cave. Here, visitors board a dragon boat to begin a 30-minute cruise along the green river, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery.

• Sitting on the boat, visitors will feel the peace of the scenery, watching the riverside villages and majestic limestone mountains in the distance. The river leads to the entrance of Phong Nha Cave, where the magic of nature gradually reveals itself through the majestic and mysterious beauty of rows of stalactites and stalagmites.

• Stepping inside, visitors will be overwhelmed by the shimmering beauty of the stalactite system illuminated under flashlight. Stone curtains, stalagmites, and stalactites shine like diamonds, creating unique shapes. The deeper you go, the more you will be amazed by the shoals, underground lakes and sparkling rocks, all creating a scene like a fairy tale world.

• Enjoy the amazing beauty created by nature, so that every step brings a sense of wonder and respect for this wonder.
After visiting Phong Nha Cave, you will be invited to a restaurant in the National Park area to have lunch with local specialties, in a peaceful and airy space.
You will continue your adventurous journey at Dark Cave tourist area. Conquering the longest two-wire Zipline game in Southeast Asia, visitors will experience the feeling of "flying" over the Chay River to reach Dark Cave.

• Dark Cave offers a special experience with rich darkness. Visitors are equipped with head flashlights and other specialized equipment to safely explore the cave. The main highlight is the mud bath activity in the cave, where visitors can relax in a natural mineral mud pool, bringing benefits to their health and spirit.

• After that, visitors will continue with other recreational activities on Chay River such as short Zipline and Kayaking, enjoying the fresh and cool beauty of the river.
End of the tour, Sovaba Travel's car and tour guide will take the group back to Dong Hoi city. We say goodbye to you and look forward to welcoming you in the next travel programs.
