This cave is one of the must-visit places in Vietnam, and is featured in our amazing adventure tours Hang Tien 1-day, 2-day, 3-day tours and Tu Lan 4 Day Expedition because of its stupendous beauty and spectacular formations.
The Hang Tien cave tours begin with crossing a hill to enter the primitive jungle; here you will admire the beauty of nature through all senses, watching the majestic limestone mountains or by learning about the special ecosystem of Cao Quang commune. Descending into the stream bed, the journey to the cave entrance becomes more and more challenging and exciting when passing a huge rocky slope; and finally the cave entrance appears in the middle of the vast jungle, like a worthy prize for those who took the challenge head on.

Tu Lan Cave System
The area of Tu Lan lies 70 km away from Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, next to the minority village of Tan Hoa, just past the fields of grazing buffalo and rapidly growing peanut and cornfields. Exploring Tu Lan Caves System will see you trekking through remote, untouched jungle; crossing buffalo fields; being surrounded by giant, looming, limestone mountains on all sides; and plunging into deep, cool, underground rivers that wind gracefully through mountains and river valleys alike.
The rewards for this exploration include watching flurries of butterflies surround camp; sleeping under the stars in a tent, with the breeze floating lazily around you; sitting by a campfire telling stories, singing songs, and drinking rice wine; listening to the beautiful waterfalls gush around you; learning (hopefully) the words to popular Vietnamese songs, singing national anthems, and playing games; eating barbecue pork, fresh fruit, springs rolls, and more; and venturing through areas that are almost completely unexplored, and boast some of the greatest biodiversity in the country.
Tu Lan Cave System has 4 tours with 1D, 2D1N, 3D2N, and 4D2N respectively. They have different levels of difficulty with exciting activities and incredible itineraries. Please find more information tour here.

Hang Va Cave
Hang Va is a part of Phong Nha Cave System. It is believed that Hang Va and Hang Nuoc Nut are hydrologically connected to Son Doong, based on their presumed shared water flow. Hang Va and Hang Nuoc Nut were found recently in 2012, and the stalactites and stalagmites in Hang Va are remarkably distinct and extraordinary.
For those whom a week expedition to Son Doong cave – the world’s biggest cave – is too much, this new 2-day Hang Va Expedition can be a perfect alternative for your short holiday. Within the wet and dry gours are numerous conical calcite formations that have been named the Tower Cones. Towers Cones such as those in Hang Va are extremely rare and are only found in a few caves across the entire world. Both delicate and unique, these cones can only be formed underwater and take thousands of years to grow tall. This expedition gives you the opportunity to be one of the first people in these caves. Please find more information tour here.
Hang En Cave
Hang En Cave is the world’s 3rd largest cave and is quickly becoming one of the must-see natural wonders in Vietnam. Its size will blow you away, and our campsite located within the cave beside a lazy river, will leave you speechless. You’ll examine fascinating fossils in one part of the cave over 300 million year old, and around every corner be subjected to the most picturesque views. A stop in the ethnic minority Ban Doong Village, set amongst the limestone mountains is a highlight for many, not to mention the pristine jungle, many river crossings, and jovial porter team, made up of local jungle men! Hang En is one of our famous caves that has been featured within National Geographic, The New York Times, Lonely Planet, Dailymail UK and recently on Good Morning America, in front of over 6 million audience members, as well as in Pan (2015), a blockbuster film distributed by Warner Bros. Entertainment (Hollywood).
