Son Doong looms large as one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, but don’t let that overshadow the allure of Phong Nha’s other treasures. Some tour companies have exclusive rights to take travellers inside certain caves, while others are open to all.

For conservation reasons, local authorities restrict access to the larger caves. Top things to do in Phong Nha Camping and CavingĬaves in Phong Nha range from the tame to the tremendous. The caves are pristine, the locals are friendly, and you’ll feel like you have the wilderness all to yourself. Although this is Vietnam’s top adventure destination, Phong Nha is still in the early stages of development. Colossal caves may be the main draw, but linger a little longer and Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park will reveal hiking trails, countryside lanes, and rivers perfect for kayaking. Millions of years of flooding have chiseled out the world’s largest caves, meandering rivers entwine ancient karsts, and jungle-clad mountains lend an otherworldly atmosphere.
