What people love about Ban Gioc Tours
- 3-Day: Ba Be Lake - Ban Gioc Waterfall Tour
A very nice trip. The guide and driver were very professional.
What an absolutely incredible 3 days on the Ban Gioc Falls & Ba Be National Park tour. I have run out of adjectives to describe my experiences. This trip is one of the best I've had in my life to one of the most spectacular parts of the planet I've ever visited. Loi (our guide) and Mr. Long (our driver) performed beyond any expectation and were a huge part of the success of this tour. Dzuong is to be credited as well for handling lots of advance communication and logistics. Thank you so much. I will be back. I think I fell in love with Vietnam on this visit.

What our customers ask about Ban Gioc Tours & Trips
What are the must-see highlights around Ban Gioc Waterfall?
Ban Gioc Waterfall spans 300 meters across the Vietnam-China border offering visitors close-up views from bamboo boat rides. The nearby Nguom Ngao Cave system extends over 2100 meters featuring naturally formed limestone formations. In Phuoc Sen village local Nung craftspeople continue their traditional blacksmithing work. A TourRadar traveler noted "Ban Gioc Waterfall was really impressive and worth the long travel times. The falls were stunning and the boat ride getting close to feel the spray was unforgettable."
What's the best time of year to visit Ban Gioc?
September through October brings the highest water volume to Ban Gioc with comfortable temperatures between 20-25°C. The waterfall also draws fewer crowds from February to April when the weather remains mild though water levels decrease. Vi's Boutique Hotel in Cao Bang city serves as a convenient base for waterfall visits. According to a TourRadar traveler "this is such a great chance to get off the beaten track and immerse yourself in nature."
What types of accommodation are available near Ban Gioc?
Local families from the Tay and Nung communities welcome guests into traditional stilt house homestays like Mr Linh's in Ba Be and Mr Kim's in Cao Bang. Visitors can also find basic 2-3 star hotels in Cao Bang city. A TourRadar traveler shared "The homestays were lovely particularly in the village on day 1. Accommodation at the homestays was simple but clean and the hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming."
How long should I plan to stay in Ban Gioc?
Tours typically dedicate 2-3 days to explore Ban Gioc combining visits to Ba Be Lake and Cao Bang. The 6-8 hour journey from Hanoi makes a minimum 2-day stay practical for experiencing the waterfall caves and villages. As one reviewer noted "Due to the long travel times from Hanoi it's best to plan at least 3 days to fully appreciate the region without feeling rushed."
Is it possible to cross to the Chinese side of Ban Gioc Waterfall?
Regular tourists cannot cross to the Chinese side without special permits though boat rides approach the border line. The Ban Gioc Observation Deck on the Vietnamese side provides excellent viewing points. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We took a boat ride that gave us amazing views of both the Vietnamese and Chinese sides of the waterfall."
