New 5D VR tour lets visitors explore Son Doong Cave in way never offered before
DNO - Visitors to Phong Nha-Ke Bang in Quang Tri Province can experience the world’s largest cave, Son Doong, through 5D virtual reality technology.
A 5D virtual tour (VR) of Son Doong Cave has been officially launched to the public for the first time.
The 15-minute tour, priced at VND 500,000 per session, allows tourists to enter the vast world of Son Doong in a way never offered before.
Featuring modern VR technology with ultra-sharp 8K visuals, the experience delivers a near-authentic sense of cave exploration, enhanced by physical effects such as wind, mist, and motion simulation.
Mr. Nguyen Chau A, CEO of Oxalis Adventure, said that all proceeds from the activity will be contributed to the Oxalis Foundation.
The fund will be used to support local communities through initiatives such as swimming lessons for children, scholarships for disadvantaged students, school construction, and other meaningful projects.
The tour is provided by the newly opened Phong Nha Cave Exploration Information Center in Phong Nha Commune, Quang Tri Province.
More than just a repository of heritage values, the center provides the public with a vivid and accessible way to experience Vietnam’s underground wonders.
It marks a new step forward in promoting the natural heritage and exploration history of the Phong Nha area, while offering visitors fresh and distinctive experiences.
Accordingly, visitors can either listen to on-site guides or scan QR codes at each display section to access information in Vietnamese, English, French, Spanish, and German.
Alongside the virtual reality experience, the center is also displaying documents and images that recreate more than 35 years of underground exploration by renowned explorers, including Howard Limbert, Debora Claire Limbert, and Ho Khanh, along with their team members.
Here, visitors can journey through time via rare documentary footage and archival images from the earliest expeditions, alongside specialized exploration equipment and meticulously hand-drawn cave maps.
