Dark Cave Phong Nha Vietnam: A Detailed Guide


Dark Cave is both a water cave and a dry cave, discovered in 1990 with a length of nearly 6,000 m and a height of 80m, currently retaining the mysterious wildness due to the lack of artificial lighting system.

With headlamps and specialized equipment, visitors will become professional explorers, explore the underground river system, admire thousands of stalactites with all shapes and shimmering magic.

And especially, visitors will have a very unique and interesting experience at the natural mud pool right in the cave.

In the rainy season, the river’s rising water level has accumulated a young mud layer, forming a large mud lake with enough essential minerals to help guests rest and relax.

In September 2014, the Management Board of Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park built a free rope swing system at Song Chay – Dark Cave wharf.

During the program of Quang Binh Cave Festival in 2015, representatives of Vietnam Record Organization directly awarded the certificate for this project as “free rope swing construction with 02 longest cables in Vietnam”.

This is the only project and the first time in Quang Binh, which has attracted a large number of visitors, especially foreign visitors.
