Overview of Drum Cave

Drum Cave, located on Bo Hon Island, is a fascinating destination in Halong Bay, just 3 km from Sung Sot Cave. This cave is famous not only for its stunning stalactites but also for its legendary love story, which connects it to the nearby Virgin Cave (Trinh Nu Cave).

The Legend Behind Drum Cave

According to legend, a beautiful young woman fell in love with a fisherman but was forced to marry a wealthy man. She fled to a deserted cave, while her lover was lost in another cave opposite hers. During storms, the echoes from the cave resemble drum beats, which is how Drum Cave got its name.

A Unique Dining Experience

Drum Cave is not only a place of legend but also an exclusive dining spot. After a day of swimming, kayaking, and exploring, visitors can enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner inside the cave, making it a truly unforgettable experience.
