If you want to discover a cave in privacy, adventure, do it. You do not need to be used in kayaking. Yo will like the intimacy and the cave

Excellent tour of Phong Nha caves - the trekking was great. The walk is a little challenging if not fit but our group (ages 12 - 57) managed fine. The swim in the crystal lake was awesome and the final cave the highlight as we swam / floated through caverns in life jackets

This is a true jungle hike experience. We wore hard hats and full cover clothes for protection and lights in Elephant Cave, swam in a waterhole, scrambled up and down rocky mountains and viewed a river flowing through another cave. It’s the wet season and it rained a lot, making for difficult and tiring hiking in mud, and we couldn’t swim in Mada Cave because of the strong current. But a really rewarding experience.

It was the best thing we experienced in our lives. The trip was prepared at the highest level, from the equipment to the routes and the knowledge of the guides. By the way, Layla, we love you, without you, your knowledge and great humor, it wouldn't be the same. WE DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ❤️

Had an amazing day trip through the jungle and to 2 beautiful caves. Our guide Layla was the best guide ever, she was attentive and gave us good info about everything. She also made us feel safe the whole time. In this trip you go to 2 caves, one walking and one swimming. Both are very interesting to see and its really an experience.

WOW! What a trip. One of the best things I have ever done. Jungle Boss tours are amazing. Our guide was Ha and she was magnificent. The trip was so well organised from beginning to end. The trek was physically challenging at times (particularly in the heat). Our 12 and 14 year old children managed it and were ably supported by the team along the way. The food is fantastic. The lake is as picturesque as it comes. Would highly recommend. Thank you to all involved especially Ha and her superb team.

Great tour! Perfect balance of hike - both easy and challenging, caves, swimming. Lunch was great as well! We were wearing shorts, but everyone else long pants. Shorts were fine but watch out for poison ivy. A great guide (Lin)! Remember mosquitospray! Your shoes will get wet but you can borrow from Jungle Boss. I used my hiking sandals all way and it was fine. We were provided with towels. Remember af bagpack big enough for the extra shoes, towels, water, etc. Awesome tour!

Jumping into the aqua-blue lake, swimming into a pitch-black bat cave and the muddy jungle. Full day!

This tour was definitely a highlight of our time in Vietnam. The cave was truly amazing and it was very cool to see the array of stalactites and stalagmites. We were picked up from our Homestay and taken to a hotel where we were given rubber sandals to wear for the tour. They only catered up to a size 43 so some of the guys had to squeeze their feet in! Note: you want these to fit snugly. We were told to put everything we wanted to take inside the cave into a wet bag (some were provided but if you have your own, I would recommend bringing it). We wore our bathers under our clothes because we knew the tour involved a swim and put towels and phones into the wet bag. If you have one of those waterproof phone cases with a lanyard, bring it. They sell them on the bus to the cave if you want to buy (they were not expensive). Wear clothes you feel comfortable getting wet and dirty! We arrived at the river leading into the cave and were given our lifejackets and helmets (with head torch attached) and headed into our inflatable kayaks. Off we went into the cave which was lit for about 1.5km. We continued to kayak for another 1.5km in the darkness with our torches on. The guide brings plenty of spare batteries and lots of water. We then left the kayaks and began our hike/rock climb another 1.5km into the cave. At this point the air was pretty thick and humid and it was quite hot inside the cave. Very sweaty! The hike was challenging and at some points quite scary. There were slippery rocks, steep faces and large drop-offs either side. Everyone took their time and made it through safely. The cave was never claustrophobic - it was very wide at all times. It was mainly the humidity and low oxygen that proved challenging, personally. We took frequent stops and water breaks and our guide told us lots about the cave. We reached the end of the hike and came to a small beach where we had the option of going for a swim before turning around back the way we came. I would recommend the swim, it was very refreshing and there were lots of sandbanks to stand on. After returning to the kayaks and paddling back towards the cave entrance, we stopped off at another beach and ate the lunch provided. We then walked about 700m to see the cave inscriptions and learnt about the Cham people. After finishing with a lovely easy walk though Fairy Cave (which is just inside the mouth of Phong Nha Cave), we kayaked back across the river to the bus and we’re dropped back at the homestay. Overall, would absolutely recommend the tour if you have a good baseline fitness and a good sense of adventure. We didn’t quite know what we were getting into so hopefully this review helps!

This trek was truly amazing. Sarah, the guide and the porters guided and helped us on the way. The organisation was perfect as was the equipement. The trek was challenging, muddy and at times climbing steep rocks. The jungle was beautiful and the caves were exciting! Would totally recommend the trek.

A well organized trek. We were by far the oldest on the tour (early 60s) but did fine and enjoyed it immensely. There are several steep up and down parts, many involving sharp rocks which are slippery. The staff were very helpful to my wife to help her navigate the tricky parts. Two opportunities to swim and they were both fabulous. We also got fed a great lunch meal. The highlight is a swim in ‘Dark Cave’ which is 300m out (and 300m back) and it’s awesome!! Highly recommended but be prepared for some physical exertion.

The elephant cave and jungle trek is truly one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Sarah, our guide, and the porters led us with spectacular patience and care. The views are out of this world and an absolutely unforgettable experience experience. Just be prepared for an intense trek over sharp rocks, through rivers (sometimes up to the waistline). I cannot recommend this trek more for those who want to see the think jungle, caves and barely touched land.

This place is fantastic. You should go there and experience. On the way to this place, you can enjoy the zip line sport as well. We will come back.

Thank you for an amazing trip. The dark cave was lots of fun. The Phong Nhà cave is so huge and amazing! Loved it.
