видимо там никто не был)
ну что же, вот что мне ответила одна турфирма по поводу этих пещер:
Thank you very much for inquiry to ACTIVETRAVEL ASIA,
It is my pleasure to know that you are interested in our Son Doong cave discovery.
I am glad to let you know that our travel company is focusing on making private and tailor made tours for travelers around year based on their travel date and itinerary requirements. So, no matter when you arrive, we can arrange private tour at your time. However, please let me know your travel date so that I could help you.
Regarding to your concerns, as you could see from itinerary, this tour start at your hotel in Dong Hoi, then, the private car will pick you up to Phong Nha ( transfer time is around 30 minutes ) and meet porters there, transfer to trekking area after that. On the first day of tour, you will visit and camping in En Cave then continue visiting to Son Doong on the next day by walking from here.( you also have to get permits from local authorities for these activities, could not do it by yourself ) For that reason, you could not ignore the first day of tour but it is possible if you do not want to transfer from Dong Hoi to Phong Nha ( the way takes 30 minutes of transfer ). However, I think it does not lower your trip cost much. So, please share with me your ideas about it.
I would like to let you know more information about this Son Doong tour (3D/2N) that it is one of our challenging tours in our product list , but, you would not be able go very deep inside the cave because it is too dark and our personal lighting system is not enough to support for that. As the British Cave Research Association team did visit this area in year 2009, they needed a support team of 60 people carrying food and equipment and 5 electric generators to discover cave. So, with the best reservation we provide for tour, you should not go very far from the entrance.
However, the highlight of this tour is not only exploring the cave but also trekking along the path to Phong Nha-Ke Bang grotto system and meeting Mr Ho Khanh – the founder of Son Doong cave. I believe that it wil l be very interesting and life time tour for you to experience.
This cave does not open to public thus we have to get the permission of the local authorities to make this tour. In addition, there are a lot of people involved in making it happens and other logistic works to be taken care of passengers that make the price is quite high.
As the itinerary we provided on our website:
Trip cost for group of 2 persons is: US$999 per person ( you could see the trip cost for different groups on the left hand side of website )
=> The total trip cost for your group is US $999*2 = US $1998
