Day 1 - Phong Nha / Tan Hoa / Hang Uy
After the pickup, we will first head to Tan Hoa office. Here, you will learn all you need to know about the safety measures and collect your trekking gear. Suit up, sign the Release Form and get yourself pumped as we are going to embark on our journey! The hike starts with an hour’s worth of uphill trekking followed by a downward hike along the river. But fret not because you are accompanied by the picturesque view as you go. Experience the rush of adrenaline pumping through your heart as you slowly hike higher and higher up and the landscape changes from a lush green forest to a steep green valley. The constant rush of the river and occasional water droplet that tickles your legs also gives a refreshing feel to the challenging journey itself. At around 1:00 pm, you will stop for lunch before crossing the river and continuing on your trek toward Hang Uy. In order to reach Hang Uy itself, you also need to scramble on rocks on a 20m high hill all the way to the cave entrance.
At 4:00 P.M. we will make our way upriver from Hang Uy where the campsite is. With a refreshing and stunning natural jungle pool by the campsite, you are free to enjoy some cool dip in the pool and take pictures of the site and pool before the sun sets. As you retreat for the day, enjoy the tantalising BBQ dinner prepared for you and recharge early for tomorrow.
Day 2 - Hang Tien 1 / Hang Tien 2 / Tan Hoa / Phong Nha
First and foremost, it’s time for breakfast! Sate your rumbling tummy with the mouthwatering breakfast prepared by the porter team. Energise and get yourself ready for the first challenge of the day - climbing through a field of boulders. This challenging terrain lies ahead of the road toward Hang Tien 1 and will definitely give you the additional kick you need to get the day started. Once you arrive in Hang Tien 1, you will be fully awake and able to enjoy the beautiful interior of the cave laden with a beautifully patterned ceiling. You will also be able to see some gour pools formed inside the cave before we make our way toward the exit of Hang Tien 1.
Next will be another 30 minutes of jungle trekking before you head back to another subterranean cave called Hang Tien 2. Vast, beautiful and seemingly ethereal, be amazed by the rich rock formation and journey inside for 300 metres before heading to the exit and returning to Hang Tien 1 and sit down for lunch. After lunch, we will make our way back from the forest to the road where cold drinks are waiting for us. Upon returning back to Tan Hoa, you will be able to shower and change your clothes before we head back to Phong Nha and conclude the tour.
