Morning mist lifts off the Son River as a long, low dragon boat slips toward a dark mouth in the limestone wall; the cave swallows light and returns only the cool, echoing drip of stone. Over two days, this tour threads between riverside villages, electric-car access roads into Paradise Cave, and a short, guided walk through cathedral chambers where ceilings rise like carved roofs.
