    Dark cave is an adventurous and action-packed experience. Visiting this cave includes harnessed zip lining over a turquoise river, swimming into the mouth of the cave (lifejackets included), walking through the dark with only the head torch on your mining helmet to illuminate the way, having a mud fight in the buoyant mud baths deep in the cave, washing clean with a swim in the lake inside the cave, then kayaking back across the river to test your strength on the hanging obstacle course and open ziplines.

Top tier fun filled adventure day

Published on Oct, 2023

This was an absolutely incredible day. We booked the Dark Cave tour but the way they run the tours is you do one in the morning and a second in the afternoon. We were also given the choice to change the caves we went to if we wanted so it was all super casual and easygoing which was great. As it was raining in the morning we did Paradise Cave then and in the afternoon some did dark cave and some did phong nha cave as these involve more outdoor adventure elements so was good to have the dry weather. As others reviewers have said you need to bring a towel and swimmers for the dark cave tour. It’s so much fun and full of variety, doing the zip line towards the cave entrance, then you swim there and swim through the cave, then you trek through the cave for the mud bath, and then return and kayak back to the start. For those who weren’t strong swimmers there was a paddle board to sit on for the swimming sections. The food at lunchtime was amazing and had a meat and a vegetarian platter. Our guide Victor was excellent, super friendly and lots to point out on our way to the caves. Overall just a fantastic day I can’t recommend it enough.

Amazing, definitely worth it

Published on Aug, 2023

This is a good tour, the cages are breath taking and the tour guides are very friendly and helpful. I do wish however that more information was available on TripAdvisor. If you weigh more than 90 kgs you cannot participate in the zipline activities. Also, you need to pack swimmers, a change of clothes and a towel. We did dark cave first which has the mud bath and a lot of swimming activities.. you require to dry yourself and get changed prior to heading to paradise cave. Also, if it's wet weather, you will need a rain coat. Apart from not having all the information available, the tour is definitely worth doing! Do yourself a favour and explore this amazing national park.

Best Place For Adventure Tour
