We visited on a very rainy day but in the end it was probably an advantage as there weren’t many people there. The walk up to the entrance is not for everyone but we took our time and made it. Inside the cave is spectacular with some of the best stalactites and stalagmites I’ve seen. The cavern is massive and I recommend walking all the way to the end. The most impressive thing is that there was phone signal in there! Amazing.

There are better places. Paradise Cave itself is breathtaking—a true natural wonder that deserves respect and preservation. Sadly, the overall experience is undermined by how it’s managed. Tickets are quite expensive for what you get. After purchasing, you can take an electric golf cart to the trailhead, then hike about 500m uphill to reach the cave entrance. While the cave is worth the effort, the way it’s operated takes away from the experience. We didn’t join any tour, but it was clear that the company running the cave prioritizes quantity over quality. They schedule too many tours at the same time, causing congestion and chaos inside the cave. To make matters worse, many visitors block the narrow walkways to take endless photos and group pictures, which only adds to the crowding and frustration. Instead of the peaceful, awe-inspiring experience you’d expect, it often feels stressful and overwhelming. The atmosphere is loud, unorganized, and lacks any real crowd control. It’s disappointing to see such an extraordinary place treated more as a money-making venture than a site to be protected and appreciated. Paradise Cave is stunning and absolutely worth seeing—but be prepared for high ticket prices, overcrowding, and inconsiderate behavior that take away from its natural beauty.

Very underrated The cave is enormous, u will be caught attention of this place by the coolness, the blow of the wind at the entrance of this cave. Massive chambers, extraordinary stalactites show case the true beauty of this landscape. You will spend a hour to experience and take photos of this cave, very stunning. The wood walkway are well designed, help the tourists to reach the end of the case, or have a great spot for photos Before reaching the cave, u have to walk for about 15 mins. But thanks to the human made stairs, it help the visitors alot

This cavern is huge and extremely beautiful. This cave is the longest in Asia spanning 31 Km in range, but for everyone to sight see only 1 Km opened. You can book a tour in advance that will take you to 2 caverns a day. The cave is very big, you can have a look around inside and enjoy the view. There's an expedition for 7 Km part of the cave, it's a one day tracking expedition. If you love cave exploration taking the 7 Km tour is going to be fun.

If you want the best experience. Get here at eight am or last thing in the afternoon and you’ll have the place to yourself. Get here any later and there are literally hundreds of people in very noisy tour groups as it’s easily accessible by all. Really big cave that almost looks like it’s a gallery made by the gods to display there creations. Highly recommend. While it might not be as Epic as Son Doong or have the adventurous fun of Hang Va I think this is probably the most beautiful cave of all. It’s a relatively easy uphill hike on a sealed path, then there is one km of board walking inside the cave, every step has something stunning to look at.
