Our guide, Tuyen, was fantastic and really informative. She always took pictures of us and was so friendly. The tour itself was brilliant and we had so much fun here. The mud bath was a highlight of the dark cave!

My friend and I decided to book this tour as they offered it at the hostel we were staying at (gecko hostel). Possibly the best day we have had in Vietnam so far, the tour was incredible and Van our tour leader was so helpful and funny making it easy to talk to her as well as everyone else In the group. Visiting paradise cave as well as the dark cave which included a long zip line into the cave with swimming, a mud bath, and then an adventure course in the river as optional, but no extra charge. Overall the tour was amazing, I would definitely recommend it. And a massive shout out to Van for being the best tour guide!7 friends from Melbourne Australia couldn’t have felt more at home with the lovely service and exceptional work of Phong Nha Discovery.

The tour was very nice and interesting, with a mixture of many activities. Our guide "Chocolate" and all of her coworkers we met on the way were very fun, helpful and informative, sharing entertaining stories and trivia. The company was nice enough to offer pick-up and drop-off in Dong Hoi, and even helped us a few hours later on the train station after we had some ticket issues.
