Phong Nha is bestowed with a system of splendid grottos with the underground river determined as the longest one in the world. Phong Nha Cave features giant stalagmites and stalactites that give you a real sense of the eternities it took for these underground realms to form. 

Lunch at a local restaurant.

Continue the journey to visit Dark Cave.

Kayaking along Chay river about 5 km, you will reach the Dark cave. No artificial lighting system is installed and once you’re inside you’ll find yourself swallowed by the darkness. 

If you are craving for adventures, Dark Cave is ideal. Put your helmet on and make your way deeper inside the cave. This could be a day out filled with adrenaline, fun, and frolic as there are several activities you may want to give a shot including kayaking through the river, mud bathing, swimming in the lake, and zip-lining above the river.

Transfer back to Dong Hoi City in the late afternoon. End of service.
