Phong Nha Cave
Động Phong Nha
A water cave you enter by longboat along the mountain river. Stalactite formations line the underground river, making it the classic introduction to Phong Nha-Ke Bang.
Phong Nha Cave was the first cave in the national park to open to visitors. The underground river inside it is about 14 km long. Visitors take wooden boats from the Phong Nha village pier along the Son River, a journey of about 35 minutes to the cave mouth. The boatmen turn off the engine and row into the cave. Along the way you can admire the stalactites and stalagmites lit by lights. After about 1.5 km, you land on a sandbank and walk back. Champa-period relics can be seen on the cave's rock walls. Admission is about 150,000 VND. Boat fares are charged per boat, about 360,000 VND, and you can share a boat with others. It can be combined with a visit to Tien Son Cave on the mountain.
