You leave Hue before sunrise, the highway unspooling through rice paddies and limestone outcrops until the road narrows and karst towers begin to shoulder the sky. By midmorning the Son River pulls you into Phong Nha Cave on a low-slung boat; water laps the boat’s hull while cave mouths gape like dark doors. Later, an electric shuttle climbs toward Paradise Cave and you walk a 670‑meter approach to a dry cavern whose chambers open into cathedral-scale rooms of stalactites and stalagmites.
