The park is best known for its rivers and massive cave system. The largest cave in the world, the Sơn Đoòng Cave, is located inside the park. Visiting Sơn Đoòng Cave is out of the reach of most visitors, because of the massive entry fee and required technical caving skills needed to get into the cave, but there are other caves you can visit on day trips and or you can get to by joining 2 to 3 day guided expeditions, which cost around $ 300 to 500 USD per person depending upon the cave you visit. Phong Nha cave, which is 8 km long, is the most easily accessible as you get there by an inexpensive boat trip.
