World of Waterfalls Blog

Our Northern and Central Vietnam Itinerary covered the most popular spots like Hanoi, Hue, Hoi An, and Da Nang with some waterfalls to boot!

Our Northern Vietnam Loop Itinerary focused primarily on the country’s rugged and mountainous far north bordering China and Laos

The Bo Ghe Waterfall (Thác Bồ Ghè) is one of the swimming hole waterfalls near Da Nang with canopied sitting areas set up for cooling off and having fun.

The Toc Tien Waterfall (Thác Tóc Tiên) is sort of my waterfalling excuse to discuss Ba Na Hills, especially given that a cable car station is named after it

Do Quyen Waterfall (Thác Đỗ Quyên) or Rhododendron Falls is one of the tallest in Southeast Asia (let alone Vietnam) where we had to really earn our visit.

Grang Waterfall (Thác Grăng) is an off-the-beaten-path waterfall between the Laotian border and part of the famed Ho Chi Minh Trail in Central Vietnam.

Suoi Mo Waterfall (Thác Suối Mơ) or Gieo Waterfall (Thác Gieo) is a swimming hole (one of many near Da Nang) to cool off from Central Vietnam’s humidity.

As we were going back up the rope-aided fallen tree obstacle past all the sawdust, I noticed that the couple still hadn’t left the tent by this time…

Go Lao Waterfall (Thác Gò Lào) is a waterfall that was easy to access as well as to play in while also being photogenic, especially when viewed from afar.

Tat Nang Waterfall (Thác Tạt Nàng) is a wide, multi-segmented travertine waterfall with pretty reliable flow between Mai Chau and the Chieng Yen Hot Spring.

May Waterfall (Thác Mây) is a multi-step limestone cascade featuring some 13 drops over natural travertine dams some of which have pools you can swim in

Dai Yem Waterfall (Thác Dải Yếm) is actually two waterfalls within a theme park-like atmosphere. The park also featured a glass love bridge and many shops.

Tac Tinh Waterfall (Thác Tác Tình) is a towering waterfall offering a more laid-back nature experience situated in Tam Duong in between Lai Chau and Sapa.

Tinh Yeu Waterfall (Thác Tình Yêu) is known as Sapa’s ‘Love Waterfall’ as it seemed like they really played up the love theme during our easy hike to it.

Bac Waterfall or Silver Waterfall (Thác Bac) is a 200m waterfall tumbling north of Fansipan thereby also making it perhaps Sapa’s most popular waterfall.

The Fansipan Waterfall is an informal name that I’m giving it since this 90-story giant doesn’t have an official name according to our local guide in Sapa.

Pac Hau Waterfall (Thác Pác Hảu) is a roadside waterfall with multiple parts to it near the headwaters of the reservoir held up by the dam at Na Hang.

Tien Waterfall (Thác Tiên) possesses a graceful double-barreled plunge with about a 70m height near the Deo Gio Pass in the mountainous Ha Giang Province.

Ban Giai or Ban Zai Waterfall (Thác Bản Zai) is sort of a coffee stop waterfall near the town of Bac Ha, which itself was a less touristy version of Sapa.

Dau Dang Waterfall (Thác Đầu Đẳng) is a 10m waterfall that was one of a handful of attractions on a visit to Ba Be Lake, Vietnam’s largest natural lake.
