Phong Nha-Ke Bang is an adventurer’s wonderland, chock-full of tenacious rivers, vivid jungles, and mammoth caves. This UNESCO-recognised national park is home to some of the world’s largest caves, with many other systems hiding beneath towering, jungle-topped karsts. Depending on your interest, caving experiences can range from afternoon excursions to intense, four-day expeditions. Above these subterranean cave kingdoms, you’ll have opportunities for kayaking, cycling, and hiking in the national park. Restful Phong Nha Town is a beautiful base to return to at the end of each day. 

You’ll need to base yourself in Phong Nha Town to visit the national park, just a few kilometres away. Your hotel can help your arrange tours to several accessible caves, but for larger caves you’ll need to book in advance with Oxalis or Jungle Boss. March and April are the best months to visit Phong Nha, as the vegetation beams with vitality after the winter rains. Most of the caves are inaccessible in the rainy season, from October to November.

Phu Quoc, also known as “The turquoise island”, is located in the far south of Vietnam, 230km from Rach Gia province in South Vietnam. Surrounded by stunning beaches with white sand and crystal clear water, this small paradise is not only perfect for spending a leisure time peacefully but also for a variety of water activities, such as jet skiing, parasailing, water boarding and sea kayaking. One of the most popular activites among tourists here is the “Explore the Coral” where tourists will be taken by a small boat to locations with a wide range of species of coral reef along the west coast, a vibrant and outstanding scenery underwater for anyone interested in snokering or scuba-diving. Evening is lively with overnight parties and barbecues by the beach.
Following the success of tourism in Phu Quoc is an enormous amount of investors, eager to get a piece of the golden egg. This has helped transform the island from a tranqil rural area to a hot spot for tourist, full of luxurious hotels and resorts. To think that around 50 years ago, people here can only financially depended on fishing for living, tourism really did bring a lot of benefits to local residents. However, it's not an all sunshine and rose story. Since the demand for tourist services had rised rather suddenly, there were not any proper planning prepared, and this has led to poor infrastructure and unfinished construction sights scattering around the island. What's more is the damages to the natural condition, especially the coral reef. This matter has become so alarming that it needs to be adressed carefully and promptly.
