ELEPHANT CAVE & MA DA VALLEY JUNGLE TREK 1 DAY TOUR
Departure
You will start your journey by going on a ride with Vietnam Vacation Travel‘s private car. Our driver will pick you up at your place in Phong Nha and transfer you to the administration headquarters.
Here, a tour guide and safety assistants are arranged for you. Then they will carefully inform you of the delegation, route schedule, regulations, and recommendations for safety and environmental protection. Also, you will be equipped with the necessary things for the trip.
After that, along 20 Quyet Thang Road and the legendary Ho Chi Minh Road, the driver will take all of you to the starting spot in the jungle. As you know, the Elephant Cave Phong Nha is situated amidst the jungle of Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park.
Trekking To Elephant Cave
It takes you 20 minutes of trekking from the starting point to the Elephant Cave entrance. Despite being quite short, the trek route is pretty tough due to steep slopes and bumpy rocks.
Yet, when you reach the cave, you will be rewarded. The marvelous cave appears in front of your eyes with a height of 60m and a length of 300m. Plus, the unique combination of green vegetation and huge rocks will impress you.
During the Elephant Cave exploration, our tour guide will always accompany you. Also, as you go deeper inside, the guide will gradually provide historical stories about the Elephant Cave Vietnam and its formations.
Explore Ma Da Valley
Following your Elephant Cave discovery, your exploration team will head to Ma Da Valley. For about an hour, through the jungle, across streams, and over a canyon bridge, you will stop by the Crystal Ma Da Lake.
You can immerse yourself in the turquoise crystal lake and cool down with the refreshing water. Meanwhile, on the bank, a tasty meal prepared by our team is waiting for you. We will serve you some local dishes such as grilled chicken, grilled pork, rice, and tofu. Also, a vegetarian menu is provided if you request it.
Swimming At Tra Ang Cave
After being energized by the lunch and relaxation at Ma Da Lake, you will pass some more kilometers to reach your final destination, Tra Ang Cave. Here, you will experience swimming in a dark cave with headlights and safety equipment.
At a distance of 600m, you will enjoy thrilling swimming in the silence of the dark cave. With a quite low water level and two-sided limestone rocks, you can stop to take a break whenever you want.
After Tra Ang Cave, the team will lead you back to the trail. Soon, you will meet your driver and start turning back to your place in Phong Nha. We ensure the driver transfers you back home safely.
Vietnam Vacation Travel team always wants the best journey for our customers. It’s a big pleasure to welcome you to Elephant Cave & Ma Da Valley Jungle Trek Tour!
