Adventure Through Bạch Mã National Park

  • Start the tour after meeting your English-speaking Bạch Mã National Park tour guide in Hue, Danang, or Hoi An, and head towards Bạch Mã National Park.

  • Visit Cau Hin Lagoon while en route to the national park to take stunning pictures of the lagoon and learn about the lives of the local fishermen.

  • Continue to the Bạch Mã National Park Visitor Centre, near the park gate. Your tour guide will give you brief information about the national park. Learn more about its biodiversity potential, as well as the significance and conservation of its flora and fauna. In addition, you will see many sample pictures of various animals found in the park.

  • Continue the tour by exploring Bạch Mã Peak, which is 1,450 metres above sea level.

  • Next, visit Hai Vong Dai, from where you can enjoy panoramic views. From the top of the mountain, see the beautiful landscapes of Truoi Lake, Cau Hai Lagoon, Chan May Port, Lang Co Beach, and Hai Van Pass.

  • After visiting Hai Vong Dai, head to the parking area 17 km away and explore the Five Lakes.

  • First, start from Lake No. 1 and then trek to Lake No. 5. Stop at Lake No. 5 to take a break, enjoy a picnic lunch, and soak in the lake's cool water. You can also swim there.

  • Then continue trekking to Do Quyen Waterfall. As you know, it is a fabulous and majestic waterfall in the national park. Do Quyen Waterfall is about 300 m high.

  • At the top of the waterfall, you will have a great view of the water falling onto the rocks, the forest below, and the clouds in the sky.

  • Moreover, to make the trip more exciting, you can reach the foot of the waterfall by stepping down around 600 steps. It may sound tiring, but it is a great option for those who would like to challenge themselves. It is truly worth seeing the waterfall from its base.

  • Around 4:00 pm, finish your Bạch Mã National Park trekking trip and return to Hue city.

  • You will be dropped off at your hotel in Hue City, Danang, or Hoi An.
