Dong Hoi (Phong Nha)

The park is home to around 300 caves, some of which are considered among the most beautiful in the world:

Son Doong Cave: The world's largest cave, stretching 9 kilometers with an uninterrupted gallery soaring 200 meters high and 100 meters wide. While initially reserved for athletes, it is now open to the public for exploration during hikes.

Phong Nha Cave: Nearly 8 kilometers in length, Phong Nha is one of the world's longest water caves, showcasing incredible geological formations, stalagmites, and stalactites. It is the only cave in Vietnam with an underground river exploited for tourism. Accessible by boat from the village of Son Trach along the Son River, it features the largest karst landscape in Vietnam and is a sacred site for the Cham ethnic group.

Paradise Cave: Nestled in the limestone heart of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, discovered in 2005 and open to the public for a few years, it is considered one of the most beautiful caves globally. Its beauty lies in its incredible stalactites and stalagmites with fantastic shapes, formed over 400 million years, some with a diameter of over 5 meters.

This cave is even larger than Phong Nha Cave, with a depth of 31 km, a width ranging from 30m to 150m, and a height between 60m and 80m.

For regular tourists, only the first kilometer of the cave is accessible via a wooden pathway. To reach it, one must climb 518 steps. A 7km hiking adventure inside the caves is reserved for hikers.

Dark Cave: The exploration of this cave is reserved for those who love sports and adventure. You can try the zip line, relax in a mud bath, or explore the cave in darkness.

Cave Systems Hang En and Hang Va: These can be explored during a hike.

Enjoy a bicycle or scooter ride in the surrounding countryside. You will witness beautiful karst landscapes, crossing rice fields along the Ho Chi Minh trail.
