Discover the wonders of Halong Bay, a destination famed for its majestic limestone cliffs and emerald waters. Among the many highlights of our Halong Tours, Quan Y Cave stands out as a truly unique experience, combining both historical intrigue and natural beauty. Located on Cat Ba Island, this cave once served as a secret military hospital during the Vietnam War, offering visitors a fascinating look into the past. A visit to Quan Y Cave in our tours of incredible Halong allows you to discover one of the hidden jewels of this bay while being surrounded by landscapes that take your breath away. Whether you like history or are an adventure lover, Quan Y Cave is a must-visit place in the Halong Tours.
Quan Y Cave
Except for its historic value, Quan Y Cave is a real geological wonder: a masterpiece carved by the god of nature for millions of years. Join our outstanding Halong incredible tours, and you enter not only a historical place but also be able to witness how strong nature’s coiffure can be. The natural form of this cave is one of the striking examples of how time combined work with the might of geological forces created something magnificent in the result.
As you make your way further into the cave, you’ll be astonished at how stalactites and stalagmites have formed over hundreds of years. The view of these awesome rock formations that hang from the ceiling and grow from the ground is out of this world. Every turn and curve greets your sight with different shapes, some even taking the form of natural sculptures, wholly created by the constant and slow drips of mineral-rich water. These formations are living proof of the quietly creating power of nature, over many centuries, into the beauty of the cave.
The interior of the cave is a magic mix of smooth chambers, mysterious passageways, and excellent rock formations, which attract every visitor there. The experience becomes even more spectacular given how the cave’s natural wonders coexist with historical elements. That is to say, the very same cave that served as a shelter for soldiers should a war break out also stands as a visual feast-demonstrating the power and beauty of nature right alongside human ingenuity.

Planning to visit Quan Y Cave as part of your incredible Halong tours? I’m sure you will surely come across some insider suggestions that will make the most out of your visit. Here are my insider tips for a mix of history and nature – with these few pointers, your visit will be nothing short of amazing.
I would recommend visiting Quan Y Cave early in the morning or late in the afternoon, so you’d avoid the crowd and be able to surround yourself even more with the atmosphere. The cave is well evaluated to happen between October to March when the temperature is cooler; you evade the humidity of summer’s high temperature and enjoy a much quieter time that will allow you to better focus on the historical significance of the caves without being shaken off by the tourists. These are the months you should be around to enjoy your Halong Tours!
To make your tour inside Quan Y Cave well and comfortable, remember to prepare some important things for yourself:
While Quan Y Cave is accessible to most visitors, keep in mind that the cave’s entrance and interiors include stairs and uneven ground. Visitors with limited mobility should take extra care. The cave’s interior tour requires a moderate amount of walking, so come prepared for a little adventure!
Combine your visit to the cave with a full day of exploration: a trek in Cat Ba National Park, and a leisurely seafood lunch at one of the island’s local restaurants. Later, make the final stop at Cannon Fort and witness a panorama of Cat Ba Island and Halong Bay.
