Can anyone share the current entrance fees for the main Phong Nha caves? I’ve seen conflicting information online-some say the Dark Cave costs $10, while others list higher rates. What about Paradise Cave, Phong Nha Cave, and Tiger Cave? Are there any combined tickets or discounts for students or multiple caves? Is cash the only accepted payment, or do they take cards? I plan to visit three caves over two days and want to budget accurately. Any recent fee updates or insider tips would be appreciated.
Official dark cave ticket price in Phong Nha:
450.000 VND per person which includes entrance fee, mud bath, zipline, kayak and all equipment to the cave

Bring cash. cash is king in phong nha or anywhere in Vietnam. They do have machines but I had unfortunate incidents of them not working at times for my credit card.
i would suggest nuon mooc spring also which is a bit touristy but fun nevertheless 
ticket price is 80k VND ($3).
nice one appleboi!
I just have one tip - bring proper swimsuit especially if you are a woman as last time they rejected my full sleeves swimsuit at the entrance of dark cave.
so had to buy a shitty cheap one from their shop 
prices change a bit, but expect around 250,000 VND for Paradise Cave, about 150,000 VND for Phong Nha Cave plus a boat fee you split with others (roughly 400,000 to 550,000 VND per boat), and Dark Cave full access packages hover around 400,000 to 450,000 VND.
I would just recommend you to bring cash and small notes, because the boat counters and many on site ticket booths tend to prefer cash and sometimes would straight out say no to card machines lol

Honestly I had more fun doing the Botanic garden waterfall tour in only 40k VND than doing bunch of touristic walks in the touristic caves of phong nha like paradise cave/ phong nha cave.
but to each on their own.
I think Mada lake 1 day tour is way better than doing paradise/phong nha but its a bit costly at at around 2million VND (75 USD)
