Why Visit Yang Bay Waterfall in Nha Trang?

A Pristine Eco-Retreat Beyond the Coast

Nha Trang, located in Nha Trang Ward, Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam, is a coastal gem 440 km northeast of Ho Chi Minh City, famed for its beaches and attracting over 4 million visitors annually. Yet, 45 km inland, Yang Bay Waterfall in Khanh Phu Commune offers a serene escape within a 570-hectare eco-park, featuring an 80m cascade, hot springs, and Raglai cultural experiences. With entry fees of $6–$40 (150,000–1,000,000 VND), this “Heavenly Waterfall” (as named in Raglai language) thrives in a cool climate (dry season: January–August, 18–28°C or 64.4–82.4°F; rainy season: September–December, 20–26°C or 68–78.8°F). Legend Travel Group’s sustainable tours, using low-impact transport, ensure an eco-friendly adventure.
