Dark Cave is a thrilling experience with ziplining over a turquoise river, swimming into the dark cave, walking through muddy tunnels with only a headlamp, soaking in natural mud baths, and kayaking back to an exciting obstacle course. Raw, wild, and fun — it’s a true adventure!
Phong Nha Cave is both a natural marvel and historic site. Once part of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, it served as a secret wartime hideout for floating bridges and a field hospital. Today, it’s a peaceful river cave surrounded by stunning jungle and mountain scenery.
