Dark and Bright Cave

Belongs to Halong Bay, but sitting on the border of Halong Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay, and be far from Surprise cave area around 2kms, Dark and Bright Cave (also known as Day and Night Cave) is not only known for the stunning limestone structure at every turn but also for the interesting natural habitat.

Do you wonder why the name is: Dark and Bright Cave? It's easy to explain! First, Dark cave is quite long and dark requiring visitors to be equipped with flashlights so that they can enter and go through, although lacking in lighting, it makes up for its mysterious beauty. Meanwhile, Bright Cave is short and is well lit up by the sunlight, going through holes and gaps in the rock walls and ceiling, making up very beautiful to pass through as the water surface gently glitters under the sunlight.

Discovering Dark and Bright cave, the best way is doing kayaking and swimming through the tunnel. Now, why you don’t imagine yourself do rowing through the waves and enter these arched entrances, rowing through the caves as you feast your eyes on the impressive stone walls which surround you until you can witness the best part of the trip, the stunning lake that both grottos lead to. Dark and Bright Cave is regarded as “the Forgotten Paradise” - a poetic and stunning location that acts as an access way to a beautiful tranquil lake, surrounded by walls of stones in different scales and sizes.

The combination of a number of factors such as the mountain's size and form, the color of the water and the clouds is the most valuable mark of Dark and Bright Cave. Here, the water level changes dramatically as the tides shifts and the matter of timing is essential in order to have an amazing experience.
