About this tour
Escape the city and experience the mountains, forests, waterfalls, and spectacular viewpoints of Central Vietnam on this Bach Ma National Park Full-Day Joining Tour from Hue.
Located between Hue and Da Nang, Bach Ma National Park is renowned for its rich biodiversity, tropical and subtropical forests, mountain climate, scenic hiking trails, streams, waterfalls, and panoramic views. The area also preserves traces of its colonial-era hill-station history, including remnants of old villas hidden among the forest.
Begin at the Bach Ma Visitor Centre before traveling toward the mountain summit. Visit Hai Vong Dai – Sea Observation Tower, where clear weather can reveal magnificent views across mountains, lagoons, coastline, and the surrounding countryside.
Continue on foot to the beautiful Five Lakes, a series of natural pools and streams surrounded by forest. Depending on weather and safety conditions, there may be an opportunity to cool off in the clear mountain water.
After lunch, continue your adventure toward magnificent Do Quyen Waterfall (Rhododendron Waterfall), one of Bach Ma’s most impressive natural attractions. Discover the surrounding forest and learn about the rhododendrons associated with the area.
With transportation, guide services, lunch, and entrance fees included, this tour is ideal for nature lovers, hikers, photographers, and active travelers looking to discover a greener side of Central Vietnam.
