Tour overview

PHONG NHA SUNSET CRUISE

Phong Nha is a beautiful rural village nestled amongst majestic limestone mountains, formed over millions of years, and the delightful Son River which winds through farmland and jungle.

The village of Phong Nha has developed considerably over recent years due to the growing number of intrepid tourists visiting the impressive caves. In addition to the caves, there are an equal number of beautiful villages scattered throughout the area, that showcase local life in a way still reminiscent of times past.

Our Phong Nha Sunset Cruise will take guests up river past these quaint villages, where locals can be seen going about their daily activities on the riverside. The cruise will continue winding down river past farmland where you’ll no doubt see buffalos grazing, and children running along the river banks.  You will enjoy some light snacks and a cold drink as you soak up the spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, and listen to some interesting local stories by your professional tour guide.

Upon arriving at Chay Lap Riverside, you will have an hour to kick-back and enjoy the tranquil setting amongst the bamboo and beside a gorgeous stretch of the river, whislt enjoying another cold drink, and if you wish, you may order a meal from our delicious BBQ, or just chill out with some good music and stories by your tour guide.

This tour is perfect for those wanting a taste of local life with plenty of time to relax, and still receive an inspiring experience with a professional guide. It’s our short and sweet option that makes for the perfect add-on to any caving adventure in Phong Nha.
