Revised Tour Description (with note included naturally)

Full Description
06:30–06:45: Pick-up from your hotel in Dong Hoi City and transfer to Paradise Cave, located in Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park (75 km, approximately 80 minutes).
OR 07:30: Pick-up from your hotel in Phong Nha Village and transfer to Paradise Cave. Upon arrival, your guide will provide safety instructions and necessary equipment.
Travel 1.6 km by electric golf cart through the jungle, followed by an uphill hike to the cave entrance with panoramic mountain views.
Begin exploring the first 1,000 metres along wooden staircases and boardwalks, marvelling at impressive stalactites and stalagmites formed over millions of years. Continue beyond the boardwalk to venture deep into the cave with a personal torch, trekking over rugged terrain and cliff paths to discover colourful and uniquely shaped limestone formations.
The first 500 metres feature a massive tube-shaped chamber over 80 metres high and 120 metres wide. As you go deeper, the formations become increasingly diverse, resembling natural sculptures. The cave is home to bats, fish, spiders, and crickets, with hundreds of bats visible within the first 3.5 km.
At around 4,000 metres, stop to rest, take photos near underground streams, and enjoy cool air vents. Continue kayaking across underground streams, occasionally crouching to pass low ceilings. The adventure then leads through narrow, maze-like rocky paths to the highlight of the cave — Heaven Well, a magical spot symbolising harmony between heaven and earth. Enjoy lunch beside the underground stream, relax, and capture unforgettable moments.
Depending on water levels, some deeper sections may be flooded. In this case, the exploration distance will be adjusted to ensure safety.
