You step off the van where the road narrows and the ocean hushes into the thick green of low hills; rice paddies slope toward the coast and the scent of wet earth rises underfoot. The trail to Ba Ho slices through village roads, bamboo groves and the occasional wooden bridge, ending at a series of three limestone-fed pools that collect into bright, clear waterfalls.
moderate.
4–6 hours.
Moderate fitness; able to walk uneven trails, climb short rocky sections and swim in calm pools.
Organized tours and transfers typically run 4–6 hours door-to-door depending on traffic and how long you linger at each pool.
Swimming is generally safe in the calm pools; cliff-jumping carries risk—check depth and current, scout landing zones, and avoid after heavy rain.
Facilities are basic—bring toilet paper and small cash; tours usually include a simple local lunch near the start or on route back to Nha Trang.
The first pool is accessible with a short uphill walk and suits many families, but steeper sections to the upper lakes and jumps may be inappropriate for small children or those with mobility issues.
Ba Ho’s lakes form from streams on Hon Son; nearby pagodas like Tong Lam Lo Son reflect mid-20th century Buddhist activity and later restorations that shaped local religious sites.
Trails can erode and pools collect litter—pack out what you bring, stick to established paths and, when possible, book local guides who support village economies.
