Good to know
- Rainy season — more water and more dramatic falls, but the water is often muddy; in the dry season there is less water and it is clearer
- Opening hours — most about 7:00–17:00 — go in the morning
- Shoes — paths down are steep and wet rocks are slippery — wear shoes with grip
- Closed — Hang Cop (Tiger Cave) and Gougah falls are not open to visitors now, so they are not on the map
Tips
- Cam Ly, Datanla and Prenn are close to the centre — fine on an electric scooter; Lien Khuong, Elephant Falls and Pongour are farther — take a Honda Air Blade 125cc.
- Don't swim or wade at the foot of a waterfall, especially after rain — the water rises fast.
- QL20 over Prenn Pass has many trucks and coaches — keep to the right and don't overtake on bends.
- Ticket prices are reference prices collected in October 2026 — check at the gate.
