3 Day Phong Nha Ke Bang Tour

Itinerary

• Day 1: Arrive in Dong Hoi - Phong Nha (-/-/-)
  Spectacular, jaw-dropping, unreal, mind-boggling- there are simply not enough adjectives to explain the wonders of Phong Nha National Park. See the highlights of this UNESCO Heritage site, hiking through some 100-kilometres stretch of prehistoric caves, cruising turquoise underwater rivers and biking past fields of limestone karsts. After landing at Dong Hoi Airport or arriving at Train Station, transfer to the Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park (55km/1hr), which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. The Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is one of the world's two largest limestone regions and is the oldest major karst in Asia. This National Park contains and protects over 104 km of caves, grottoes and underground rivers making it one of the most outstanding limestone karst ecosystems in the world. Many of these are still unexplored and so far, only a total of 20 caves with a total length of 70 km have been surveyed. The karst landscape is not only complex but also ancient (more than 400 million years old), with high geo-diversity and geomorphic features of considerable significance in the world. On arrival in Phong Nha area, begin exploring with a half day easy biking adventure exploring Bong Lai village and the surrounding peaceful countryside with the local guide. Cycle on quiet village paths and roads past rice paddy fields and small hamlets, and along the way stop for plenty of photos and to enjoy the scenic landscape. At lunchtime relax and spend quiet time having some tasty local style dishes and cool drinks. After finishing the cycling route, the vehicle will pick-up to transfer to begin a relaxing boat trip on the Son River to explore the most popular Phong Nha Water cave. Board the private boat for the 2.5 km cruise down the Son River to the mouth of the cave. Pass by the entrance to the 'Cave of Teeth and Wind' and enter the mystical tunnels, filled with giant stalactites and stalagmites and crystal-clear waters. NOTE: Average length cycled can vary between 8-20 kilometers. The cycling route is adjustable depending on the energy levels and fitness of the clients as well the season and local conditions.
