Hang Va Expedition 2d1n

While not physically connect to Son Doong, Hang Nuoc Nut and Hang Va are part of Son Doong cave system based on their shared water flow. Some explorers even commented that the stalactites and stalagmites in Hang Va Expedition 2d1n are even more beautiful and extraordinary (see pictures below) than Son Doong cave, but you should see and feel it yourself. These caves were found recently in 2012. To be one of the people who put early human steps into the caves, you will have to hike, stoop through the entrance, use ropes and cross some rivers including the ones inside the caves.

But don’t worry, we provide the very best adventure experiences with every aspects of the trip are carefully planned including delicious meals, the highest safety standards, and friendly and informative adventure guides. Come and enjoy unique and unforgettable experiences in the caves with our dedicated adventure tours. Although this tour operates 3-4 times per week, the maximum capacity is only 8 people per tour, so please book in advance because available places will be filled very quickly.

Phong Nha – Hang Nuoc Nut – Hang Va jungle camp

• For your convenience, we will pick you up at your hotel in Phong Nha between 8:00 – 8:30 AM and drive to Oxalis Headquarters. At Oxalis Headquarters, you will collect your gear, listen to a tour briefing and please note that you need to sign our Release Form before driving 45 minutes through the National Part to the trailhead.
• From the trailhead, we will enter the jungle and hike to the entrance of Hang Nuoc Nut. Here we put on our Petzl helmets and Hope Technology 1500 lumen head lamps. Once inside the low opening the cave enlarges dramatically and we explore the high level series with excellent photographic opportunities. We have a picnic lunch with ice cold drinks provided before setting off in the cave for around 2 kilometres. Enjoy the beautiful formations, enormous passage and Underground River, again with many photographic opportunities.
• Leaving the cave you will trek on a jungle path which though short is on a tough and difficult terrain. The jungle campsite locates at the base of huge cliffs next to the entrance of Hang Va. Setting up and supplying for camp and tea/coffee are ready as well as a delicious dinner served by our local chef. This is a true jungle camp and a great experience around camp fire listening to the jungle noises.

Hang Va – Phong Nha

• Day 2 is the highlight of the expedition. Before experiencing this fantastic cave, Hang Va Expedition 2d1n, you will have a delicious breakfast at around 8:00 am.
• First, you will have to climb down the steep entrance of Hang Va. It can be quite slippery, so move slowly and with care. To ensure your safety, we will have a rope for you to clip into with a harness which will be provided for you. You will continue to wear the harness at all times inside Hang Va Expedition 2d1n.
• After that, if we are early, there is a chance to swim in a downstream pool inside Hang Va before heading upstream. You will walk most of the time in water flowing through the river passage, climb up and down, and squeeze between the rocks. The water level of the river passage can be as high as chest level, so be ready to be wet for about 4 hours.
• When you reach the end of the wet passage, you will need to use the harness again to carefully climb up to the high level passage. You will certainly amaze with this high level area because of its stunning formations, really rare throughout the world. In this area, we will have a lot of time to take beautiful images with the support of Hope technology and extra lights prepared specifically for photography in Hang Va Cave.
• Finally, we will head back to the camp, enjoy lunch and at around 2:00 pm, walk back to the road by a different route to the pick up point. Our driver will take you back to your hotel in Phong Nha by about 5:00 pm.
