Dark and Light Cave (Hang Sáng Tối)

Dark and Light Cave, also called Day and Night Cave, is located on Lan Ha Bay in the Cat Ba archipelago, Hai Phong. This 70m-long cave often requires visitors to row a bamboo boat or kayak to access it, as it is carved through the mountain and situated on the water’s surface. Nowadays, tourists visiting and relaxing on Lan Ha Bay consider Dark and Light Cave a must-see destination.

When going through the cave into the inside, visitors will be surprised as if lost in paradise, because inside is a large lagoon surrounded by majestic limestone mountains. Sitting on a boat, drifting along the water, inhaling the fresh air and the blue water, taking in the stunning scenery, and experiencing the serenity between the sea, sky, clouds, and mountains will undoubtedly be a moment you’ve been longing for amidst the daily chaos.

Nowadays, to visit Dark and Light Cave, tourists often choose to sleep on a cruise at Lan Ha Bay or Ha Long Bay. When arriving at the cave area, tourists will be taken by the local fishing village to visit the cave by bamboo boat; each boat can carry 6-8 adults. Perhaps the most fascinating experience is kayaking to explore the cave yourself, with two people per boat. As you drift, you can slowly admire the surrounding scenery, breathe in the fresh air, and feel the peace between the sea, sky, clouds, and mountains. Such an experience will undoubtedly satisfy a longing you’ve harbored in the midst of a hectic life.
