A series of three waterfalls and a fast flowing river tucked away in the forest. There are limited amenities, although you can buy food like rice, chicken, beers and soft drinks. Taxis are available in Nha Trang to take you there, but its not too difficult to find yourself and with good weather it's a pleasant drive, if you are confident on a motorbike. Its a good one hour trip from Nha Trang by motorbike through some rough, off-road tracks (especially in the wet season). The turn off from the main highway north of Nha Trang can be easy to miss (a stone pillar), but most locals along the road should be able to point it out. From the turn off it's a straight track to the river.

This is a stream derived from Hon Son peak, over 600 meters high, flows down between two rocky mountainsides to the field of Phu Huu hamlet, Ninh Ich commune and filled to Nha Phu lagoon. The waterfall is named Ba Ho because the river head, on the road through the mountains, down through the jungle to the sea, three times the stream is on the back of the mountain, creating consecutive three lakes with wonderful natural landscape.

It is a unique architectural works designed with the structure like an aquarium in the fairytale. It was first constructed in 1997. Khanh Hoa Tourist Company had invested in construction of Tri Nguyen Aquarium in a unique design of an ancient ship divided into many floors.

The aquarium is designed with the thick glasses for the sharks, groupers, snappers, eels swimming around tourists . In addition, there is an area like the sea with thousands of blue fishes mixing with large fishes. Walking through the space is arranged in thick glass layers, with the unique cement walls as in the heart of the old ship, tourists will feel like the mermaid in the ocean

There are totally 8 floors designed inside the ship. Basemen floor, close to sea level, is decorated in the form of caves with stalactites, which includes 4 large aquariums and a small one. It is home to hundreds of marine species introduced in the nearly natural environment. Souvenirs and handicrafts are displayed in floor 2, and the third floor is restaurant. On the deck is a mast and a cannon, an ideal position to enjoy the panoramic view of the sea from above. Mostly, fish lakes here own an area of about 150 - 200 m2. In which, the largest one with 3ha wide contains the most extensive variety of fish. The system of fish lakes consists of 2 forms: outdoor and indoor. Outdoor lakes are home to all the familiar fish such as mackerel, tuna, pompano, stingray... In particular, hiding in caves are squids and giant lobsters... Indoor one is quite smaller, yet all are rare species. Tourists may never witness and admire some kinds of fish if failing to set foot on this place, such as seahorse, the unique species whose male bear eggs and give birth, Japanese carps in a noble gait, Napoleon butterfish, or Picasso fish... It looks like a miniature ocean.

In particular, the third lake seems to be the most unique one. It is dedicated to raise tortoises and turtles. Turtles here weigh over 100kg owning their shells on their backs with a diameter of 1.5 m filled with seaweed, clams, and snails. Interestingly, just sitting on stone embankment, using legs to slightly stir the water face or drop some pieces of bread into the lake, tourists can gather turtle or tortoise around. Besides, the 4th lake is built much larger-scale, adjacent the foothills and beaches. The lake offers an abundant variety of marine world in multi shapes. After visiting the aquarium, tourists will step outside the deck, in which benches will be available for tourists to rest. Each bench is designed according to the model of a lovely sea creature such as shrimp, squid, snails, fish... Continue to step up spiral ladders like in real ships to the top of the ship; tourists will comfortably admire a panoramic view of poetic and charming Nha Trang Bay.

Not only stopping there, Tri Nguyen also continues its investment to create innovation in order that tourists will not feel bored even returning much more times. Accordingly, models of giant shrimp, crabs, or mushrooms (5 tons weigh, 7m high) have been built, creating new scenery and deeply leaving impression for tourists. Furthermore, numerous either indoor or outdoor aquariums covered by royal orchids, casuarinas or tropical almond trees with circle-shaped leave... contribute the charming scenery. They all aim to turn Tri Nguyen Aquarium into one of the most key tourist attractions in Nha Trang.

Tri Nguyen Aquarium is an appealing attraction with the diverse flora and fauna. Hundreds of nice and precious marine creatures are bred in the lake, forming a real marine museum. This deserves a fascinating attraction luring tourists in Nha Trang tourism, especially when arriving in the beautiful coastal city.
