Detailed itinerary

Main activities

The vehicle and tour guide pick you up in central Hue City and depart for Quang Binh. Along the way, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Central Vietnam and listen to the guide introduce the local history and culture.
Take a 10-minute rest at the Sovaba Travel office, then continue the journey to the Phong Nha boat pier.
You will board a dragon boat and cruise upstream along the emerald Son River for about 40 minutes. The tranquil scenery of rural villages and majestic limestone mountains reflected on the clear water creates a picturesque ink-wash painting. This scenic setting marks a poetic beginning to your Phong Nha discovery.
The boat takes the group deep into the cave – a water cave complex extending over 7km, highlighted by:
- Bi Ky Cave featuring magnificent stalactite formations resembling palace domes.
- Cung Dinh Cave featuring majestic stalactite columns resembling royal thrones.
- Tien Cave sparkling like a fairytale wonderland.
  The cool atmosphere, crystal-clear water, and reflecting lights make the stalactites even more enchanting. Cruising quietly inside the mountain cave, visitors will feel as though they are stepping into a mystical, mythical world.
The group stops at a local restaurant to enjoy lunch featuring dishes infused with the rich flavors of Central Vietnam.
The tour continues to Chay River – Dark Cave, the most appealing eco-adventure destination in Quang Binh:
- 400m Zipline: Conquer the longest zipline in Vietnam, gliding above the turquoise river for an exhilarating and thrilling sensation.
- Kayaking on the Chay River: Navigate your own kayak gently across the water, admiring the pristine forest and mountain scenery on both riverbanks.
- Water activities: River swimming, bridge jumping, rope swinging, and group fun in the cool, refreshing water.
- Dark Cave Exploration: Equipped with headlamps and protective gear, explore the pristine cave system. Experience walking, swinging ropes in the darkness, and soaking in a natural mud pool inside the cave – a rare and immensely fascinating adventure.
Depart Chay River – Dark Cave and board the vehicle to return to Dong Hoi City.
The vehicle takes you back to Hue along the previous route.
The group arrives back in central Hue City. We look forward to welcoming you on future journeys.
