RUC MON CAVE 1-DAY ADVENTURE

Ruc Mon Cave, which is located on the border of Viet Nam and Laos, was explored in early 2017, with such a massive size that it was almost impossible to go all the way through the cave.

Not only having two separate side entrances with both dry and wet systems but also the geodiversity that makes the cave make a big difference 

Come and join us in this unique and unforgettable experience.

• Exploring one of the largest caves in the Phong Nha area with numerous species of plants and animals and the ecological wonders of the tropical jungle of VietNam
• Sightseeing of the great view at Da Deo Mountain Pass 8 km of jungle and mountain trekking, 1km of rock climbing, and caving
• Climbing rocky terrain and descending down a ladder of more than 80 m with harnesses.
• Jumping off from 5 meters high.
• Floating on the lazy river with the life jackets

From 07:30–08:00 am: You will be picked up around that time, then head to the headquarters to make preparations. The group will depart on the Ruc Mon adventure by shuttle bus, driving about 45 km, viewing the Da Deo mountain pass, and getting to know more about the historical Ho Chi Minh Trail and the Vietnam War presented by the guide.

9:30–10:00 am: We continue to the Yen Phu village of the Trung Hoa minority people, where "Kong: Skull Island" was shot, and start the adventure by walking through the jungle and witnessing firsthand the local minority's daily life. 11:00–11:30 am: Keep trekking to reach the entrance of Ruc Mon Cave, where a miles-long, smelly BBQ will be awaiting you, prepared by our local minority chef. Both meat and vegetable options are available.

12:30 am: Having luch. After having lunch, you are going to have 15–30 minutes to take a short break. 1:00 pm: Hiking up through the steep, rocky terrain under the shade to get to the top of the mountain entrance 1:20 pm: After breathtaking the top view and the massive entrance decorated by the millions-year-old formations, the guide’s going to give a presentation about the overview of the Ruc Mon cave, local lifestyles, cave formations, etc.

Descending two straight ladders (12 m and 25m) is a bit of a challenge, but with the harness, safety gear, and a caring guide team, you definitely have no risk doing this! After the ladders, you get to the water section, where all the phones and cameras need to be in the drybag. Then you put the life vest on and jump off from 5 meters high.

Another option for the acrophobia is getting into the water with a shorter ladder, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so why not? OVER THE FEARS! Getting back to the campsite entrance, drying off, and having some drinks and snacks will give you some energy before trekking through to the village.

4:00 pm: Pack your bag and double check before leaving the campsite. Make sure nothing is left there, then trek back through the jungle, crossing rivers, and walking through the rice field valley with a gloriously beautiful sunset! Manage your storage; for sure, thousands of photos were taken there! The journey ends on the bus back to Phong Nha from 5:30pm - 6:30pm.
