Detail Itinerary
Day 1:
HUE - VINH MOC - DONG HOI (-/L/D)
This morning we drive out of Hue. En route to
the tunnels at Vinh Moc we stop at Quang Tri.
This town was once an important citadel city but
was heavily damaged in 1972 during a spring
offensive. Still, some of the original ramparts
and gates remain. From here we proceed to Vinh
Moc and the amazing 2.8kms of tunnels. Unlike
their counterparts in Cu Chi in Southern
Vietnam, the Vinh Moc tunnels remain unaltered
and therefore offer an authentic view of
underground life. We enter the tunnels and
explore the subterranean passageways.
Later we retire to the town of Dong Hoi for the
night.
Day 2: DONG HOI -
PHONG NHA NATIONAL PARK - HUE
(B/L/-)
We drive to the Son River where we take a boat
trip to the famed caves at Phong Nha. The park
has some beautiful limestone formations,
grottoes and caves and forest. The park also
contains the largest primeval forest in Vietnam
and the biggest limestone mountain range on the
planet. The most impressive cave - Phong Nha
cave is probably the most beautiful with many
fascinating rock formations with imaginative
names such as The Lion, Fairy Caves, Royal Court
and Buddha. Phong Nha also boasts underground
rivers, large caverns and passageways and broad
pristine sandbanks. Following our exploration of
the caves we return to Dong Hoi for lunch before
driving back to Hue.
