Adventure level
Our Tu Lan Vietnam Caves Tour is considered easy for anyone who is comfortable trekking a few kilometres and also condent swimming (though swimming can be limited on request). You will trek approximately 3-4 km via easy jungle paths and a few rocky climbs, and should feel comfortable having to climb through some tight passages, and also up/down a 15 m ladder (with safety rope) within the caves.

Never forget you are deep in the Vietnam jungle and the difficulty of this tour is also very dependent on the weather. It can get very cold during December to March (8 – 15 degrees Celsius) and very hot during June to August (32 – 38 degrees Celsius), not to mention anytime it rains the jungle becomes very slippery and muddy.
