Kid-friendly jungle trek with caves, SUP & water games—no crowds or camping
If you're after a proper jungle adventure that's fun for the whole family – without the overnight camping or touristy crowds – this is it. This is the only day trip in Phong Nha that lets kids aged 5 and up explore hidden caves, trek through pristine rainforest, and paddle through glowing turquoise underground rivers.Unlike more crowded spots like Paradise and Phong Nha Cave, this trip takes you to the untouched Abandoned Valley, where the jungle still feels wild and peaceful. The highlight? Paddling by SUP over 1km deep into E Cave – a breathtaking turquoise water cave tucked inside the jungle. And when you emerge, it’s all playtime: think snorkelling, water volleyball, and water gun games. It’s the perfect mix of active adventure and childlike fun.Perfect for families with children, or active explorers who want to get off the beaten path without going too extreme. With a small group, knowledgeable and fun local guides, and a hearty jungle lunch, this is one of the most unforgettable day trips in Phong Nha – without the overnight commitment.What to ExpectTrek through Abandoned Valley, a remote and lush jungle far from tourist crowdsPaddleboard 1.5km into E Cave, a water-filled cave with stunning turquoise water and ancient coral fossils on the ceilingEnjoy water fun at the cave entrance: SUP, snorkelling, water volleyball, water gun games, and moreJoin a small group led by fun and experienced local guidesBreak for a picnic jungle lunch and light snacks during the dayGood to KnowSuitable for ages 12 to 60Rated 4/10 in difficulty – you'll need decent fitness and confidence in waterTotal distance: 7.5km (includes jungle trekking, SUP, swimming and cave exploration)Terrain includes rocky trails, forest paths and mild karst terrain climbs – expect to get muddySUP and swimming distance: 2–3kmPick-up and drop-off included from Phong Nha townAll safety equipment provided, including helmet, gloves, life jacket, and trekking shoes (sizes 36–43)Picnic lunch, fruit snacks, water, and drinks such as tea and coffee includedExpect about 5km of jungle hiking and 2–3km of swimming and SUP boarding into E Cave.
