Dark Cave

Dark cave is must go experience if you planning to visit the Phong Nha National Park in Vietnam.
We reach the cave by zip lining, followed by swimming in the blue lagoons, explore the cave with helmets and headlights followed by a mud bath inside the cave. Which is a wonderful experience, I was skeptical about the mud bath when I booked the tour but it turned out to be amazing in all senses. You finish the cave exploration by a kayaking back to the starting point.

I don't have many photos as it was a wet cave and we kept all our phones in the locker storage.

Its mesmerising. We went here through a day tour package. Its an experience of a life time. We did the half to 1 km trek inside the cave where it was completely dark. We were given life jackets and helmets with light. At the end, we had an area for mud bath, which made our skin so soft. We did other activities outside the cave like kayaking, swimming and water sports in the river water. We also did zipline here. There are rooms and washrooms to shower and to change clothes.
We also had lunch here, it was included in our tour package.
Do carry swim wear, a mobile cover if you wish to carry it with you. Or you can buy mobile covers there. There are lockers to keep our belongings.
Also it’s recommended to wear ocean/waterproof shoes, so that you can easily walk in the dark cave.

Well worth the 450k for all the activities. The cave do give some pretty awsome photo opportunities

Very nice view to stop Stay a couple hours to enjoy the water you can jump swimming whatever you want to do ,very fun place 👌👌👌

Very adventurous and fun! Good equipment was provided and the guide at the cave was so nice and took pictures for us since we didn’t/ couldn’t bring our phones. Definitely do the zip line.

We went without a tour, and just drove there ourselves. It was 450k and they provided all gear, and a guide since the cave is dark

Dark cave expedition was very awesome experience.
- Zip line to cave entry
- Swim or Kayak around 100 m
- Walk for around 1 km
- Take a mud bath
- Return to the cave entry and kayak for around 500m to reach the starting point
- Then you can do some water activities

I was drawn to the cave and the mud bath, which were wonderful. The zipline was also very fun, and the little water/adventure park at the end was unexpected and delightful. Safety gear was in good condition, staff very professional. 450k for the package, 50k deposit to rent a locker. Showers available. Cash only.

Don’t sleep on it! The zip line to the cave is really fun but the cave itself is such an experience! It feels so unreal and I would definitely do again! Also once you are finished, there is also another zipline and water games you can try!

Very cool cave, very you get to feel like you are properly exploring a cave with Helmer and torch! Also got to see bats flying around! Cool to take a mud bath in the end, and god to do a lot of swimming! Had expected more of the kayaking tho, were just about 100 meters

Good place for a good fun, water really clean and cool, many games kids and adult friendly with the water including Zipline(longest zipline in Indochina at the time I write this 400 meter) you can jump to the water from 5-7 meter height if you can ) and many more fun games. I had a really great time hear. Be careful if you do drop from rope to hammock, don’t hold the rope too tight because it can harm your hands when you drop of the rope to the river

Did not go into the cave, because we didn’t have swimwear and it was quite cold. But we had a lovely kayaking experience and zipping across the river was fun! bought tickets on the spot - 150k, deposit 50k for a locker

Amazing place with many activities, turquoise water, super cool zipline to the entrance of dark cave, special experience to go deep inside the cave and get mud bath. In general I just love this place so much !!!

Literally so much fun, the zip line the kayaking and the cave exploration were really fun and all of this in one day is perfect. It was a nice touch to swim and enjoy the slides after the other activities by yourself 💪

The experience was absolutely amazing. I felt like an explorer while visiting the cave. The helmet with light, life vest, moving through the water, the dark, all these just exited my senses. It was a unique experience.

The zipline truly blew my mind. Kayaking on such a crystal clear river is amazing as well. The best place to get a rush of adrenaline and then get refreshed

Exhilarating experience. Besides the visit to the cave, have water activities. Be prepared for cold water! Wearing beach shoes is a good idea in the cave as portions of it have stones.

So much fun! You can't bring your phone so bring a gopro or something similar because the sights are too cool! Very casual but lots of fun. Recommend going mid-late morning.

Incredible attraction, full of adventures and activities to do. Definitely a must. You start with zip lining across the chay river, land on the other side where you can climb the tree and do flips into the river. Then you can swim, kayak or wall to the main entrance of the dark cave. Inside you'll enjoy the beautiful colors of the blue pools contrasted by the color of the caves. Look out for little fish swimming in small ponds or fish fossils on the walls while going through the muddy tunnels till you reach the mud pool. Coming out was a lovely experience but the fun isn't over, you can kayak around and play with the water games set up and adventure lines over the river. The food at the restaurant was also good and all in all it was a wonderful experience.

Both entrances are amazing. The road entrance has a zipline and small ropes course on the river. It's super easy to access and really nice to take a mud bath in the cave. The jungle side is a bit harder to access, but it was totally worth it and the trekking inside was a lot of fun and challenging.

I had so much fun, a bit price but super worth it .
The experience to walk inside the cave with mud bath is unique .
