Which tour option should I choose?

The Standard Tour (English or Mandarin) is the most popular choice for independent travellers. The Morning and Afternoon Premier tours offer different departure times — morning if you want your afternoon free, afternoon if you prefer a slower start to your day.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Please check the cancellation policy shown at checkout for this specific ticket option, as terms can vary by tour type.

Is the tour suitable for people with claustrophobia?

The tunnels are narrow and low — some sections require crouching or crawling. Guests with claustrophobia or anxiety in confined spaces should consider carefully before booking.

Are there any restrictions on who can enter the tunnels?

The tunnels are not suitable for pregnant guests, those with heart conditions, or anyone weighing over 90 kg. The site is also not wheelchair-accessible.

Is there an extra charge on public holidays?

Yes — a surcharge of VND 150,000 per person applies on 1 January, 15–19 February, 26 April, 30 April, 1 May, 1–2 September, and 31 December 2026. This is paid directly on site and is not included in your booking price.

Do children need a ticket?

Children under 3 years old are admitted free of charge, but no seat will be reserved for them and snacks will not be provided for that age group.
