We went there on a Sunday by motorbike. It was easy to find as there a many signs along the roads leading to the Ba Ho waterfall. Parking is free. You pay 185.000 dong per person and skywalk and kayak is included. You get a bottle of water per person. At the entry are shuttles who can bring you through the forest to the waterfall. We walked and it’s a beautiful clean path with toilets, trash bins and food or drink stands along the way. Beautiful atmosphere. The last part up to the waterfall is climbing up on huge rocks which are painted with arrows to lead the way. But you MUST have closed and kind of hiking shoes. It is a bit rough way and there are no ropes or sidebars to hold on. I would say you definitely need a bit better physical condition to do this. There were some younger people or old people who struggled to get up there to first level. We didn’t go further as it was enough adventure for me personally up to this level and it was about to rain. The water was not so high and it looked more like river with huge rocks and they were very slippery. Every person who got into water could not made it out selfly as there was just nothing to hold onto. I slipped a few times in the water due to massive stones all sizes which you couldn’t see as the water was not so clear. In the water many small fish trying to bite your foot and legs. That got me uncomfortable. Water was cold and refreshing, but nothing for beginners or totally inexperienced people. Because you can easily get hurt very badly. It’s a beautiful place and definitely a great atmosphere there and people having fun. But I would recommend that they put up some more ropes on the rocks to climb up and down the way or even at the lakes that you can get easier in and...
Read moreAs an amateur climber grappling with anxiety, embarking on the ascent of the different lakes at this climbing spot initially felt like staring up at a daunting mountain range. However, with the unyielding support of my remarkable girlfriend, who tackled those rocks like a seasoned pro, our journey turned into a thrilling adventure, punctuated by unexpected twists.
My girlfriend, aptly described as moving "like a rat up a drain pipe," effortlessly traversed the rocky terrain, leaving a trail of awe in her wake. Her expertise, honed through appearances on the outdoors channel "Could You Survive," proved invaluable as she guided me from the summit downwards, offering methodical advice every step of the way. Despite witnessing someone else's fall and potential injury, the staff swiftly escorted them down, ensuring everyone's safety.
On a serious note, this climbing haven demands respect for its treacherous paths. The absence of a mundane flat path adds to the thrill, requiring intense climbing maneuvers throughout. However, with due adherence to warning signs and hydration, the journey remains exhilarating and accessible to all levels of climbers.
At a mere 130,000 dong for a standard entry ticket, this adventure offers excellent value for money. No need to burden yourself with excessive equipment; just come prepared with sturdy shoes and ample water.
While the path may be perilous, the rewards of conquering this natural wonder are immeasurable. Consider this a must-visit destination for adrenaline junkies and nature enthusiasts alike, but remember to tread cautiously and embrace the...
Read moreFor the time being the commercialisation of this valley is finely balanced. The walk up to the bottom of the falls has almost been completely paved. Beyond that it does get more exciting for the few hundred meters to get to the first of the three falls and to the others. There is plenty of astounding nature still so it is definitely still worthwhile. However, we arrived at 8:15am so got to the falls before too many others had arrived. The pools weren't very deep when we were there, but I'm sure in the rainy season they would be a lot deeper and allow for jumping. Unfortunately, because we had already agreed our pickup time we didn't make it to the third waterfall. Would recommend at least 3 hours for the walk from the car park to the falls with a dip in each pool and back. If you are wanting to make the most of the water activities plan for a longer stay to make the most of the 100,000 VND entrance fee. We got a taxi through vinasun that cost us 570 k VND for the return trip from Nha Trang with the taxi driver waiting in the car park while we explored. Could be cheaper to get the bus and be dropped on the highway by the nearby village. Apparently it's a 3.5km walk from there but I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to pay a motorcyclist to give you a lift to the park as there were quite a few heading up and down the road. But be prepared for the walk in case you can't get one if you choose that method of...
