This early morning today, we are picked up by tour guide & driver then depart from Hue, drive along Ho Chi Minh highway to the Son River where we take a boat trip to the famed caves at Phong Nha. The park not only has beautiful limestone formations, grotto caves, and forest but also contains the largest primeval forest in Vietnam and the biggest limestone mountain range on the planet. Following our exploration of the caves, we return Hue en route to the Tunnels of Vinh Moc, the amazing 2.8 km of tunnels.
Boat trip along the river to access Phong Nha Cave
Unlike their counterparts in Cu Chi in Southern Vietnam, the Vinh Moc Tunnels remain unaltered and therefore offer an authentic view of underground life. We enter a part of the Tunnels and explore the subterranean passageways.
Discover Vinh Moc Tunnels

Can you go cave diving in any of the tunnels?
at 10:14 pm
Hi Simon,
We cannot go cave diving in any tunnels in Vietnam. You can visit Nha Trang, Hoi An or Phu Quoc Island to experience cave diving instead.
Best regards,
