Sung Sot Cave, also known as Surprise Cave, is a magnificent and vast cavern located on Bo Hon Island in the center of Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. Renowned for its impressive stalactites and stalagmites that have formed over millions of years, the cave creates a surreal landscape that leaves visitors in awe. Discovered by the French in 1901 and named 'Grotte des Surprises' (Cave of Surprise), it consists of two main chambers. The first, resembling a theatre hall, features a ceiling covered with a 'velvet' of stalactites and a garden of stalagmites and rock formations that resemble guards. The inner chamber impresses with its immense size and grandeur. Sunlight filters through the cracks and openings, enhancing the beauty of the natural rock features. Paths and lighting are installed to guide tourists along a 500-meter paved pathway through the cave, which at its highest point reaches a ceiling of 30 meters. As one of the highlights of UNESCO-listed Ha Long Bay, Sung Sot Cave attracts thousands who come to witness its natural beauty and the magical atmosphere inside the cavern.
The tour guide was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure everyone had a fantastic time. Highly recommend for everyone!
