Phong Nha caves have been described as a "a bucket list adventure travel destination" and after this podcast, I think you will understand why.
Phong Nha as a location, is fast becoming the major draw card to Vietnam for adventure seekers. If its magical scenery and surprisingly clean and green flourishing forests you are seeking, then you will want to give some serious thought to Phong Nha caves.
It has been said, passing through the different caves, that the stunning landscapes will make you believe the myths about fairies, and magical kingdoms, while the magnificent scenery will continue to enchant you. And let's not forget the enormity of some of them. Some are big enough to fit skyscrapers in.
My guest on the show, is Howard Limbert. Howard has been caving for 32 years and was part of the leadership team which discovered Son Doong, in 2009. Just in case you didn't know, this cave is now touted as the largest cave on the planet. I was fortunate to catch up with Howard when he was in the Uk at the time. He has a great way of describing the caves in such a way that you feel you are already there. OR, it is something you'd really love to experience.
There are literally hundreds of caves and a tour variety for all types of explorers.
This show covers the main Oxalis run tours, that operate over 1,2,3 and 4 days. There are other shorter more mass tourism tours available, but in this show we don't cover those.
As lead technical adviser Howard breaks down each of these stays so we can understand what types of experiences can be achieved in different time slots. For example, if you only have 2 days to devote to this activity, what could you get to see and experience.
Howard is open about the skill levels required; who and what age groups certain tours attract and just some of the handy things to know about before you book. If we miss covering it in the show, please make sure you visit the Oxalis website here.
If you have ever thought about doing something like this, then I urge you to have a listen and maybe print off the transcript notes in PDF from the website page here for future reference or booking.
