Hang Tien cave lies in Cao Quang commune, is the largest dry cave of the Tu Lan Cave System, and is located about 70 km away from Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park. This cave is one of the must-visit places in Vietnam, and is featured in our amazing adventure tours Hang Tien 1-day, 2-day, 3-day tours and Tu Lan 4 Day Expedition because of its stupendous beauty and spectacular formations.

The Hang Tien cave tours begin with crossing a hill to enter the primitive jungle; here you will admire the beauty of nature through all senses, watching the majestic limestone mountains or by learning about the special ecosystem of Cao Quang commune. Descending into the stream bed, the journey to the cave entrance becomes more and more challenging and exciting when passing a huge rocky slope; and finally the cave entrance appears in the middle of the vast jungle, like a worthy prize for those who took the challenge head on. Hang Tien, which means cave of fairies in Vietnamese, has the unreal nature beauty that Vietnam cave tours rarely have. Passing through the cave entrance, the stunning landscapes will make you believe the myths about fairies visiting this cave while the magnificent scenery continues to enchant you.
