Sovaba Travel picks you up at locations including hotels, the train station, and the airport in Dong Hoi. For guests arriving early on morning trains or coaches, we will transfer you to the Sovaba Travel office to rest and freshen up before departure.

Depart from Dong Hoi to Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. The first leg of the journey takes you to Paradise Cave, one of the largest dry caves in Asia, celebrated as the "Underground Palace."

• Visitors travel 1.6 km by electric shuttle cart, then hike along the mountain slope to reach the entrance of Paradise Cave. Although the entrance is narrow, the interior opens up into an immense chamber with ceilings reaching 40-60 m high and widths spanning up to 120 m. The cool interior atmosphere feels like a completely different world compared to the summer heat of Quang Binh.
• A system of wooden walkways leads visitors into a marvelous realm of vibrant colors and intricate stalactite formations. Gentle LED illumination accentuates the natural landscape without damaging its pristine beauty. True to its title as the "Underground Palace," the cave amazes with colossal stalactites, stalagmites, and distinctive rock structures.
• Inside, you will behold nature's masterpieces, ranging from stalagmites shaped like blossoms and saplings to sweeping stalactite waterfalls cascading from the ceiling. Grand formations resembling Central Highlands Communal Houses, Cham Towers, and the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara each possess unique charm. In 2019, Paradise Cave was recognized as having "the most unique and magnificent stalactite and stalagmite system in Asia." After two hours of exploration, visitors retrace the path back to the parking area, concluding the tour with unforgettable memories.

Following the visit to Paradise Cave, you will be invited to a restaurant within the National Park area to enjoy a lunch featuring local specialties in a peaceful, airy setting.

• After enjoying lunch with local delicacies, travelers continue their journey to Phong Nha Cave. From the restaurant, the group transfers to the boat pier on the Son River. Here, you will board a traditional dragon boat for a scenic 30-minute cruise along the emerald river, surrounded by magnificent natural scenery.
• Gliding on the boat, visitors will embrace the tranquil ambiance, admiring riverside villages and dramatic karst ranges in the distance. The river guides the way into the mouth of Phong Nha Cave, where the wonders of nature gradually unfold through majestic, mysterious arrays of stalactites and stalagmites.
• Stepping inside, you will be awestruck by the magical shimmer of stalactite systems illuminated by flashlights. Rock curtains, stalagmites, and stalactites glisten like diamonds, creating remarkable shapes. The deeper you venture, the more astonished you will be by subterranean sandbanks, underground lakes, and shimmering rock fields, evoking a fairy-tale wonderland.
• While discovering renowned chambers such as Bi Ky, Co Tien, and Cung Dinh, you will have ample opportunities to take memorable photos among splendid rock formations showcasing extraordinary geomorphological value. Do not miss the chance to observe ancient Cham inscriptions and hear legendary tales of King Ham Nghi's hidden treasure.
• This journey leads you through corridors draped in stalactites within the cool, pristine air of the subterranean world. Immerse yourself in the splendid beauty sculpted by nature, where every step inspires awe and reverence for this natural marvel. This will undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience, leaving lasting memories of sun-drenched, breezy Quang Binh.

At the end of the excursion, travelers board the vehicle to return to the original meeting point. The tour guide will converse with guests and share reflections and highlights from the journey.
