Paradise Cave dubbed as “underground palace” is one of the wonders of the magnificent and magical world most. The cave is nestled deep in the World Natural Heritage National Park Phong Nha Ke Bang and Surrounded by forested karts peaks, this remarkable cave system extends for 31,4 km, though most people only visit the first kilometer. The scale is breathtaking, as wooden staircases descend into a cathedral-like space with colossal stalagmites and glimmering stalactites.
Dark Cave is amazing and the true experience, kayaking over the river to get there, walking through the dark with only the head touch on your mining helmet, having a mud fight in the mud baths deep in the cave and then washing clean with a swim in the lake inside the cave.
A real adventure cave, newly on the map here in Phong Nha, and still without the lights and large tourist groups to spoil the experience. You can explore this spectacular cave on our National Park tour or independently, and after kayaking across the river, enjoy swimming through the cave with your head torch leading the way, then explore a side passage. Dark Cave is a wonderful and very accessible example of the beautiful caves that are found throughout this region.
