The Duck Stop
A family duck farm in Bong Lai Valley where you can feed ducks, get a 'duck foot massage' and ride water buffalo. Phong Nha's most popular village stop.
The Duck Stop is about 20 minutes' drive east of Phong Nha town, in Bong Lai Valley. It began as a family duck farm and became a sightseeing spot as visitors gathered to take photos. The highlight is the 'duck massage': the host leads you to feed more than 100 ducks, scattering grain over your feet for the flock to peck at. You can also ride water buffalo and eat local snacks. Admission is about 100,000–150,000 VND, including simple food; prices may vary on site. It is open roughly 08:00–18:00. There is no public transport, so reach it by motorbike, bicycle or taxi. It is often combined with a loop of Bong Lai Valley and a visit to Paradise Cave on the same day.
