Accordingly, Quang Binh allows a maximum of 900 tourists to explore Son Doong cave with an itinerary of four days and three nights. Tourists will exit the cave by a different route, instead of returning back the way they came, like previous tours.

The new route offers favourable conditions and brings new experiences for conquerors, and is expected to attract more tourists to the cave in the coming time.

Established in July 2011, Oxalis Adventure Tours effectively exploited the tour to the world’s largest cave, contributing to meeting the needs on studying and exploring the global outstanding values of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage site of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park.

Son Doong greeted 740 tourists in 2017 with two routes (5 days - 4 nights and 4 days - 3 nights), in which the 4 days - 3 nights route was piloted during three months with 19 tours and 188 tourists./.
