Worth it, both Golden cave and E cave. Đức is a good guide and very funny. The photograph and all the member of the team of the 16th May were amazing. After the tour, you want to see more caves. Golden cave is a very wild one and E Cave is like a river cave, so peaceful and hypnotic! Merci !!

We (29 and 33) did the 2day/1night tour, we loved it! Hike was pretty adventurous but cool. Duc (tour guide), Cuong (guide) and Thanh (cook) were enthusiastic and helpful at all times. All three caves (dark cave, E cave, golden cave) were amazing. Sleeping in the jungle is worth it!

I went on a 2 days 1 night tour to explore Dark Cave, E Cave, and Golden Cave. In addition to the super beautiful and majestic wild landscape, I was also very impressed with the porter team with leader Mr. Chau (Jack) who took care of my group for 2 days, extremely thoughtful and enthusiastic about their work, and that's inspiring, in short, 100 points for quality💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best adventure company and best experience in Vietnam !!! Great, fun, knowledgeable and super profissional team with all the equipment and support. The experience is amazing, unforgettable where you can visit and live untouched places of Nature. The last part of the trekking is more tiring but everything totally worth it. They have all the equipment needed but my advice is when doing the trekking take a small bag pack with a change of socks a small towel and changing trousers or shorts. You will need after visiting the first cave (take a small bag to put your wet clothes). Also, Because you can find some poisonous plants and small animals in the way I really advice you to use trousers (if shorts wear long socks). Totally recommend!! Five stars review!!!

My gripe with this is that the owner/operator (Vin) actively discouraged us from taking photos because he said it would be better to get photos on his gopro instead and he would then share them with us. All of the different people on our day have reached out to him and the other guides multiple times for the photos/videos but no response. I guess once they have your money they forget about you. Pretty disappointing as we would have just taken photos on our phones as we wanted to!! Leena (tour guide staff, not the owner) is beautiful beyond belief and I adored my time with her.

Leena was an absolutely amazing guide! We all had a blast, was definitely one of my favourite experiences in Vietnam. A small group tour, with the jungle and caves all to ourselves. Got to paddleboard in and swim out of the cave. Had lots of laughs with the whole group and the guides. We chose this over some other adventurous tour options and would 100% recommend.

Fantastic day trip to the cave that involved a little bit of adventure and no other tourists! Leena the tour guide is worth double her weight in gold and is an absolute gem! Her English is fantastic and has a great sense of humour! Having Leena as our guide was one of the highlight of the trip for us. The day goes at a great pace and gives you enough time around lunch/swimming to enjoy. We were very lucky to see monkeys up in the jungle that the guides pointed out to us. Highly recommend this trip!

I did the Abandoned Valley tour which I really enjoyed. The guides were professional. There is quite a steep hike uphill at the end but it was still manageable for me even as someone who doesn’t hike at all back home. It’s worth bringing a hoodie or a sweatshirt as the temperature can feel cool while you have lunch (but you warm up quickly once you start hiking again). I had a great time and would recommend it.

This trek was really nice ! The two caves where amazing in their own way (one dry and one wet). Put aside the views, I especially loved the variation between sporty moments, moments of rest, sometimes it was even peaceful. We where a rather small group (14). The food was really nice ! Simple but really good and there was a really big amount (we didn't finished). The guide, Mr D was awesome, I don't know how he manage to have so many energy and good vibes ! And the helpers where also really nice ! Thanks again to all the staff.
