...rock climbing, some abseiling however nothing is too serious. The locals can just going into the cave without any equipment. What you need most would be good trekking boots (the one especially for caving would be perfect) and good head lamp (strong light). The cave guide is the very one that found the Cave, Mr. Ho Khanh, he was also the one who guided the British Cave Research Association to discover it. He does not belong to any organization but he knows the cave better than any others in Vietnam. To support your group we would have a team from the Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park who will take care of logistic work like camping and cooking. They will also accompany you into the cave.
To get a better idea of what you would be going to do on the trip, pls see our video clip of our last trip to Son Doong, we did not reach the Son Doong then coz 2 sudden typhoons hit the area www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNDGlcdNyL4. Also read the what the group told about the trip here www.tripadvisor.com/ ...Hanoi.html "
I hope my information could be clear for you.
