丽仙 余4 September 2025Great Half-Day Trip with a Wonderful Guide I went on this trip solo, but the guide and I set off together as planned. The guide gave very detailed explanations, was patient, and turned out to be a great photographer as well. He answered every question and helped me capture many beautiful photos and videos. The whole experience was really enjoyable, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves nature and hiking. The waterfall was refreshing and cool, and when you stay still in the water, little fish come and nibble at you—it doesn’t hurt, just feels fun. A half-day trip was perfect for this adventure.
Mikhail P3 September 2025Swimming in Ba Ho I visited the waterfalls in September 2025. Our group was small - only six visitors. Beautiful landscape, cool jumps from cliffs. The nature is great here, and the guide was fun and helpful.Lee J3 September 2025Ba ho waterfall 바호 폭포에 2025년 9월에 친구들과 함께 다녀왔어요.친절한 가이드분과 함께 트래킹을 하며 오르다보니 스팟 장소에 금방 도착하게 되었고 그곳에서 즐거운 시간을 보냈습니다.정말 아름다운 경치였고, 다음에도 기회가 된다면 다시한번 방문하고싶어요!
성준 박3 September 2025재밌었습니다! 친구랑 같이 갔는데 가이드 분도 엄청 친절하시고 (거의 친구 같았습니다) 계곡에서 노는 것도 생각보다 훨씬 재밌었습니다! 하이킹이 좀 가파르긴 한데 못갈 정도는 아니에요. 다만 어린 아이들은 위험할 것 같습니다. 친구랑 오시면 강추입니다!
