Surprise Cave was discoverd quite early (in the late 19th century). Not until 1946 was its name announced in the mass media after people made a number of expeditions to it. In 1999, the Halong Bay Management Board invested in upgrading Surprise Cave. Roads were built and electric lamps were installed so that visitors could see and feel the beauty of stalagmites inside the cave.

A steep road with transplanted stone steps in snaking under the forest canopy to Surprise Cave, divided into two main compartments. One of them is like "a vast great theater", the ceiling of which is like a realm of fantastic stalactites and natural stone status of elephants, seals, raspberries and flowers. The compartments are linked by a narrow passage. In the other compartment is a different scene. It is so large that it could house thousands of people.
