Definitely recommend doing the tour. We went there at around 14:30 on a Saturday and we didn’t have to wait in line to get tickets or get into the boat. We chose route 2 and we thought it was very good since it wasn’t as crowded as the other routes. I highly recommend tipping the boatman/woman, and helping him/her out if you can. It is a very hard work and they definitely deserve some appreciation. Our boatwoman didn’t push or even suggested us to tip her - and she was extremely happy that we did so :)
Navigate here and there are signs to point you to the ticket booth. The ticket booth is right before you go to the departure dock. I arrived at 8am on a Wednesday and there was a moderate amount of people. Not too busy but not empty, it was great though! I enjoyed Route 2. As others mentioned, good mix of caves, walking to see temples and boat riding. Saw King Kong Island on this route as well. Thoroughly enjoyed, would highly recommend. My boat driver did not ask for tip but I gave her 150k. If I had more cash I would’ve tipped more.
Great adventure! If you only have time to do this or Tam coc do this. The drivers are really friendly and sweet (and they dont demand a heavy tip, but please give one:) ) the views are absolutely stunning. When we were there we didn't have the choice between the three routes because of the storms (the water level was too high for some of the caves) but the option they gave us was as good as it could be. Really really good.
This is where the boat trip starts. Place wasn't crowded, we waited maybe 3 minutes in the ticket line. Trip started after a big rain but there was no issues on the river. Due to high water level (previous rainy days) they have created a new route, through 2 caves and stopping by a few beautiful temples. Entire trip is 2,5h long and its very nice, highly recommend to take it. At the end nobody was asking for any tips, boat crew was very pleasant.
The ride takes around 2 hours for a price 250k. They have boats for 4 people so might ride with other tourists. We couldnt see any of the caves because the water was too high but we still paid the same price, thats why I give 4 stars. Go in the morning or late afternoon but do it before 17:00 before they close. Because at noon it will be very hot under the sun. They also have umbrelas on the boat to use for shade and little paddles if you want to help with rowing. The ride was nice. At the end the driver/rower asks for tip "money money". We gave him 50k I guess that was okay because they probably don't get much of a share of the ticket. Also, I've seen that if you give him too little he will ask for more. Just give him/her whats okay for you.
