Who runs the Phong Nha tours
Two operators run most of Phong Nha's serious cave trips. They have different caves, different prices and different vibes. Here is the independent guide to who's who, who does what, and how to choose.
Jungle Boss Tours
Founded 2014 · Son Trach (Phong Nha town), Quang Binh, Vietnam.
Our top pick for most travelers. Excellent safety, properly licensed, local team, and the best value for money in Phong Nha. They run the caves Oxalis doesn't have the licence for, which turns out to be most of the great caves.

Oxalis Adventure
Founded 2011 · Son Trach (Phong Nha town) and Tan Hoa, Quang Binh, Vietnam.
If you want the famous caves (Son Doong, Hang En, Tu Lan, Hang Va), Oxalis is your only legal option. They do these trips very well. They are also the most expensive operator in Phong Nha by a wide margin.
