Nate K20 July 2024Great tour! This was a fun half day tour for adventure and nature lovers! We loved our time with our guide Yasin. He made it fun and entertaining and showed us where to jump off and cool crevasse to see (10/10 as a guide). Best for young adults in good health since there is a fair bit of rock scrambling. The nature reserve is mostly clean and water is refreshing! There are parts of the hike which is a bit challenging, but Yasmin was helpful. Note the rocks in the pools are very slippery so be careful. We had a great time and so glad we did it.Verified
Thomas H7 July 2024Excelent tour! Excelent tour! Our guide Yasin did a great job. This tour is really worth it. Great views, a really nice and quiet get away from the big city. Highly recommended! Thanks for having us!!😃Verified

julie24 June 2024Fantastic highlights of Nha Trangtour The half day trip around the top attractions of Nha Trang was a highlight of my trip. Tu was a delightful and knowledgeable guide. I was very impressed with how easy to chat with he was, I was lucky as I was the only person on the trip so I got the full benefit of his local history knowledge. The temples, pagoda and cathedral were super interesting and very well cared for. I enjoyed the visit to Hong Chong with its beautiful scenery and lovely traditional musicians, but the best was the traditional village and restaurant. Delicious food in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend!Verified
Anna C24 June 2024Great place for fun and relax Our guide Yasin, was indescribable. Very nice and very attentive to our welfare. Has also told us a lot about the waterfall and how dangerous the winter months are. We took a small bus to the parking lot of the Bo Ha Falls and had to walk the last three kilometers. If you are a bit sporty, it is not a big hurdle to climb the boulders, there are also aids everywhere. It reminded me a bit of canyoning. After about 15 minutes we came to the first waterall and the first pool. Jumping off the rock was just the right cooling off. After a short bath time we walked to the other two. In each pool we could swim and relax. Thanks for the great trip. Highly recommended.Verified
Wesley M23 June 2024Visit to Ba Ho waterfall Guide Tu was amazing! He brought us to 3 different areas of the waterfall, guiding us throughout the way and helping us to take pictures along the way. The hike was slightly challenging, but it was really fun hiking and swimming in the waterfallVerified
