A trek up a rocky stream to three green pools in the forest — light adventure near town
The only trek-and-swim close to the centre
Three stepped pools — higher means prettier and emptier
The cheapest ticket among the paid experiences
Wear shoes with grip, not flip-flops, and bring a waterproof bag for your phone; after heavy rain the rock is slippery — leave it for another day.
Ba Hồ is a stream rising on Hòn Sơn peak that drops through three natural pools stepped down the forest. From the gate a path follows the water for about forty minutes — some scrambling over rock, some hauling on a rope — up to the first, second and third pool; the higher you go the greener the water and the fewer the people.
This is the rare bit of light adventure close to Nha Trang: enough sweat to feel earned, safe enough for a first-time trekker, and the reward is jumping into cold forest water. Fit young groups go in the morning and are back in the city in time for a seafood lunch.
