June 2026Great cave, long drive
The cave itself is spectacular, just be ready for a fair amount of driving from Đồng Hới to get there and back in a single day.

April 2026One of the best cave systems I've seen anywhere, and our guide's background as a former park ranger meant he knew every formation by name.

General
Swimwear and a spare change
Bring swimwear and a change of clothes for the mud bath, and sturdy shoes for the 1km cave walkway. Helmets are provided for the zipline.
Questions travellers ask
No — life jackets are worn at all times and the mud pool is shallow and calm; non-swimmers can still enjoy the zipline and cave walk.
