Tu Lan Experience Tour

Tu Lan Experience is a one day trekking tour. During this cave experience tour you will discover the unspoiled beauty of the Tu Lan Cave System – once the film set for the Hollywood blockbuster – Kong: Skull Island (2017). Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts once declared: “The world will see how beautiful Tu Lan is, they will come, experience and love Tu Lan as I did”.

The highlights include:

• Trek through legendary valleys: Embark on an unforgettable journey through two vast, stunning valleys—Tan Hoa and Hung Ton. Traverse sweeping emerald fields encircled by dramatic limestone karsts, crowned with untouched, primeval jungle. This is the authentic heart of Vietnam’s wild nature.
• Discover a hidden underground kingdom: Plunge into a subterranean world as you explore two magnificent caves, Rat Cave and Hung Ton Cave. Marvel at unique, millennia-old formations—towering columns, delicate stalactites, immense stalagmites, and shimmering cave pearls. These chambers feel less like caves and more like natural, magnificent cathedrals.
• The ultimate cave challenge: Prepare for the most unique part of the adventure—cave swimming through the cool, pitch-black underground river. Fully equipped with headlamps, you’ll immerse yourself in a world untouched by natural light, fueled only by a sense of mystery and pure exploration. It’s an experience that will ignite your inner adventurer.
• Refreshing finale: Emerge from the darkness to the glorious sunlight and celebrate your journey with a refreshing dip. Take a leisurely swim in the cool, crystal-blue lake formed right at the exit of Hung Ton Cave, letting the gentle current carry you as you soak up the breathtaking, unspoiled beauty of the valley.
• A journey that transforms lives: Beyond the natural splendor, your presence contributes to a powerful story of community resilience and growth. Sustainable tourism has played a key role in transforming Tan Hoa, driving the poverty rate down from 85.7% in 2010 to just 2% in 2024. This expedition supports vital initiatives, including the construction of floating houses and septic toilets to improve local living standards. Furthermore, Oxalis is committed to future generations, sponsoring free open swimming and safety training to over 300 children in Tan Hoa and along the Rao Nan River every year.
