Hang Tien Cave Tour 1 Day

Description

Come and join the Hang Tien Cave Tour 1 Day with an experienced tour guide and the best itinerary of Phong Nha Locals Travel. The majestic cave is known as Hang Tien, or “Fairy Cave”, which has previously only been viewable on the Tu Lan Expedition. It is now showcased as the star of our 1-day tour.

HANG TIEN CAVE TOUR 1 DAY

As the largest cave in the Tu Lan cave system, Hang Tien Cave is famed for its enormous size and spectacular formations. Our guide will bring you into the depths of the Vietnamese jungle where we can find the lost world of ancient rock configurations dripping from the ceilings, and spending a night under a net of a thousand stars is truly a unique chance to enjoy the real wilderness of this country. This tour is designed for those with just a day to explore the wild but still looking for an escape to the jungle along with adventure and of course, a beautiful cave.

Enter into Hang Tien where you’ll be taken away by the swirling patterns of limestone and rock. Rimstone pools, known as gours, also greet you at the entrance. You’ll explore different passages of this river cave and be in awe of its massive ceiling and formations. The Hang Tien Discovery 1-Day is fitting for both true adventurers and also those with limited outdoor experience. Come check out our longest-day tour, and the newest product of the season!

Phong Nha - Tan Hoa - Hang Tien

First of all, picking up will take place from 7:00 - 7:30 am from your local hotel in Phong Nha. From there the tour will head an hour and a half to the Tan Hoa office, located 70 km from Phong Nha. The drive is beautiful, passing alongside jungle, and fields, and over the historic Da Deo pass. During the drive, you’ll also listen to a safety briefing led by your experienced tour guide.

Then, arrive at the office around 9:00 am where you’ll sign your Release Form, and collect equipment such as jungle boots, water bottles, lights, helmets, etc. You can leave your extra luggage at our office in the storage room.

At around 9:30 am, the group will take a drive over to the drop-off point and start at the trailhead by 10:00 am. The trek begins with a hike through the forest over a hill. The last kilometer before the cave is very rocky with many boulders. As if the cave terrain has spilled out onto the landscape in front of it. You’ll enter the spectacular cave and just inside. Then enjoy a BBQ feast, including fresh pork and traditional spring roll wraps (vegetarian option available). Around 12:30, you’ll start your exploration of the cave.

With formations rising up like a layer cake of rimstone pools and lush ferns, this cave is truly a unique specimen. As you explore, you’ll reach a small skylight in the cave, created from a shaft that overspills sunlight from the cave’s entrance. Beyond the skylight will be a ladder leading to the second section of the cave. You’ll venture through this next section of the cave, known as the high chamber. The exit of the cave lies just ahead - you have conquered Hang Tien!

You’ll make your way back, and get a chance to take a dip in the natural jungle pool you passed on the way in. Therefore, you’ll have time for a coffee, a quick swim, and to take some photos before making your return journey.

You will be collected at the pickup point and head back to Tan Hoa. A shower awaits you at the office before the van rides back to Phong Nha at 6:00 pm. The tour will finish around 7:30 pm in Phong Nha.
