Cha Cung Ecotour from Dong Hoi - Swim, Relax & Kayak

General information

Looking for a one-day escape to reset your energy, leave the city noise behind, and immerse yourself in untouched nature? Cha Cung Day Tour is the perfect choice. Join Phong Nha Viet to discover Cha Cung Ecozone—a hidden gem tucked deep within the magnificent Truong Son Range in Quảng Bình.

Why Cha Cung?

Chà Cùng is the kind of place you fall for the deeper you go. Located in Cay Ca Hamlet, Truong Son Commune, around 70 km west of Dong Hoi, it sits right along the Western branch of the Ho Chi Minh Road—a quiet, open road cutting through the vast Trường Sơn forests. Even the drive feels like a cool-down for the mind.

On arrival, Chà Cùng wins you over with crystal-clear, refreshingly cool water, a chain of small cascades, rapids and natural pools, all wrapped in lush green woodland. The eco-area also features simple, nature-friendly facilities—bamboo bridges/handrails and resting huts-so you can relax comfortably and snap beautiful photos without spoiling the landscape.

What makes the journey special is that it’s not only about scenery: along the Trường Sơn route lies a vibrant indigenous cultural space-home to the Bru–Vân Kiều communities. If you travel at the right time, you may even hear stories about the Rice Sowing Festival a distinctive local community belief and celebration in Truong Son

Highlights at Cha Cung (great for a 1-day itinerary)

Swimming and relaxing in the stream, surrounded by forest
Water activities such as kayaking / SUP (subject to season and service availability)
A light picnic and “Trường Sơn green” photo moments

Schedule

07:30 | Depart from Dong Hoi – Truong Son “switch-on” mode

Our vehicle and Phong Nha Việt tour guide pick you up in Đồng Hới City. Leaving the urban bustle behind, the journey unfolds along the deep-green Trường Sơn route: endless forest lines, valleys peeking from the hillsides, and air that feels cooler and cleaner with every kilometre.

On the way, your guide provides an overview of the Trường Sơn region—one of western Quảng Bình’s most characteristic ecological zones—and briefs the group on stream and water-safety guidelines for a fun yet secure experience.

09:30 | Arrive at Cha Cung - a “green jewel” in the wilderness

Welcome to Chà Cùng Stream. The first impression is the clear, cool water flowing past mossy natural rock clusters, framed by forested mountains—almost like stepping into a different climate within just a few hours.

You’ll check in at the resting area, change if needed, then enjoy free time to explore and take photos:

Stroll along the stream to find scenic spots (mossy rocks, winding water lines, dense green canopy).
Enjoy gentle swimming in the safe zone and let the cool water wash away fatigue.

11:00 | Lunch by the stream – flavours of Truong Son

Lunch is served at a resting hut/eco-restaurant in a setting that truly feels like dining in the forest. The menu prioritises seasonal local dishes—simple yet rich in flavour, perfectly matching the spirit of Trường Sơn.

After lunch, take time to rest, enjoy tea or refreshments, and recharge for the afternoon’s activities.

13:30 | True Cha Cung experiences – exciting, yet safe

The afternoon is dedicated to water-based activities (depending on weather and actual water levels, your guide will arrange the most suitable options):

Kayak / SUP (if available): glide across the water and admire the forested scenery from a fresh angle—relaxing and fun.
Stream bathing & relaxation: unwind in cool water while listening to the natural soundtrack of flowing stream and forest.
Natural water slide: lively and laughter-filled—perfect for families and groups of friends.
Rope swing / zipline-style swing: for those who love a thrill—“flying” through the green space before splashing into the water.

Operational note: The guide will always remind guests about deep-water areas and slippery rocks, recommend wearing a life jacket when needed, and require compliance with safety instructions.

16:00 | End of the experience – return to Dong Hoi

Change clothes, check belongings, and gather for departure. Our vehicle takes you back to Đồng Hới. On the way, the guide wraps up the trip and suggests additional destinations for your next “recharge” adventure.
