Our guide, WAN, and driver, Ming were both fantastic! We were lucky enough to have a private car and just the 2 of us. We had an interesting tour around the DMZ and WAN was very knowledgeable. Then we arrived at the caves for the tour. Sadly, the weather was biblical with torrential rain - but this didn’t ruin the enjoyment (you had to laugh!) the caves are out of this world, really special and we were pretty much the only people in there - excellent lunch followed and home at the time we expected. Both wan and Ming were 100% and I would definitely recommend this tour.

Full description

Take a 3-hour ride from Hue to the stunning Phong Nha Cave, with interesting stops along the way at significant battlefield sites from the Vietnam War. Our first stop is the Ben Hai River, followed by the historic Hien Luong Bridge, which lies within the Demilitarized Zone. This bridge, located at the 17th parallel, was a crucial boundary dividing Vietnam into two regions from 1954 to 1975: the North, managed by the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the South, governed by the Republic of Vietnam.
After reflecting on this poignant history, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant.
Next, board a boat for a scenic cruise along the river to Phong Nha Cave, which was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. As you delve deeper into the cave, you will be enchanted by its magical formations and natural beauty.
The adventure continues with a 25-minute ride to the water cave, where you will embark on a 500-meter walk to explore the dry cave. Here, you can discover remnants of Cham altars and inscriptions, providing a fascinating glimpse into the region's rich cultural history.
