A magical, mystical day!

Published on Nov, 2024

An unbelievable experience! The current was strong, but we were stronger. Monkey, our tour guide spoke decent English and kept a close eye on us for safety. Lady boy, was a wonderful helper and had hearty lunch packed for us. Highly recommend you take this trip, if you are feeling athletic and adventurous.

Great adventure. Our guides (Tiger and Elephant) were great ... Very knowledgeable. Got to go deeper into cave than most tours

A must do trip

Published on Aug, 2024

This was the best thing we did in Vietnam. It was so beautiful to kayak deep into the cave. I was nervous about the hike but the rubber shoes are actually really grippy (it's just your feet that slide) and the guides are extremely helpful, so it was quite fun. The two swims we did were so refreshing. I'd highly recommend this tour. Monkey, Ladyboy and Tiger were fantastic guides and made the day really fun.

Amazing Kayak Tour

Published on Jul, 2024

I had an amazing time on the one-day kayaking tour! Our group was friendly and enthusiastic, and we kayaked through a cave, climbed rocks to find a perfect swimming spot, and enjoyed a clay bath. The lunch, prepared by one of our tour guides, was delicious. This tour is an excellent option for those seeking adventure and a unique experience beyond simply visiting caves. I highly recommend it—it was an unforgettable experience swimming inside the cave.

Unforgettable adventure

Published on Jun, 2024

It was the highlight of our vacation in Vietnam. We did the tour with „Tiger" and „Ladyboy". They showed us many things in the cave and tooked realy good care of us. Also they have much knowledge about the cave and it was very interesting. It was an unforgettable adventure. The sandals for the hicking had a better grip than we thought, but I would recommend to take 2 size smaller if you have small feeds.
