Luon Cave

Overview of Luon Cave

Structure

Stretching 100 meters long, 4 meters wide, and up to 3 meters high, Luon Cave resembles a tunnel leading to a serene lake roughly one square kilometer in size.

The lake is framed by limestone cliffs adorned with lush vegetation, vibrant orchids, and ancient trees, while the mirror-like surface reflects surrounding mountains and the blue sky.

Transportation

Visitors can access Luon Cave only by kayaking or local boat due to its arched shape and varying height (2.5 to 4 meters, depending on the tide).
