Survival Valley and Thuy Cung Cave Trekking Tour

General information

Your day starts with pick-up and a full safety briefing at our Operations Centre, followed by a short warm-up. From Km19, you trek through the forest, tackling flat sections, uphill climbs, and the Tai Meo limestone ridge to reach the Survival Valley. At Thuy Cung Water Cave (Cave E), the adventure shifts to the water: swimming, snorkelling and SUP paddling along an underground water route of approximately 1.2–1.5 km, famous for its emerald-turquoise colour. After a picnic lunch and time to relax at the cave entrance, you continue with outdoor activities before trekking back to the starting point, finishing in the late afternoon.
