Hoa Huong cave is 2,876 m long, Hang Bom is 1,500 m long, Dinh 1 cave is 1,430 m long, Ruc Ma Rinh 2 cave is 1,360 m long, Cay Sanh cave is 850 m long .

Many caves were appreciated by Mr. Limbert for tourism and will be exported to Quang Binh province for exploitation in the coming time.

The team learns survival skills from native people, chopping vines and banana trees to find drinking water.There are surveys, the group must stay in the forest for 8 days.

Many caves are valuable in landscape, there are stalactites, ceilings, underground flows, sandy beaches, cliffs, cave arches ., which have many potentials for developing tourism discovery, such as: Hoa Huong , Buong, Cay Sanh, Ma Rinh, Tu Lu . However, the development of cave tourism should also focus on the conservation and restriction of visitors, Mr. Howard Limbert advised.Use flycam to record the exploratory footage of sinkholes.In the picture is a 130 m deep hole seen from flycam.

The group discovered many different animals such as fish and crustaceans with transparent bodies.This is a valuable scientific information in the study of geology, geomorphology and biodiversity in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park.In the picture is a scorpion with a transparent body in Hoa Huong cave.

This is the 17th time the Royal cave expedition conducted a cave survey in Phong Nha - Ke Bang since 1990. Up to now, the delegation has surveyed a total of 311 large and small caves with total length of exploration. over 200 km.This survey, the team also met the large bombs left from the war.
