Elephant Springs (Suoi Voi)

Why Elephant Springs (Suoi Voi) is special ?

Small and large stones look like the elephants playing in the middle of the cool streams. Especially, a big elephant stone lies next to the waterfall, a stream of water sprayed continuously from its hose, making anyone interesting. At that time, you can imagine that you are standing in the middle of a forest with many rare animals.

Elephant Springs is about 500m long including 2 different areas. Here, visitors can swim and soak in cool water or sat on the flat rocks and breathe fresh air, or listen to the sound of the water pouring, the wind flowing, the birds singing, or stroll among the green trees. In addition, the visitors can hang on to the roots of trees and swing yourself on it to find the thrills.

The road to ElephantSprings is very convenient for the tourists. This place is not only meeting the tourism demand of Hue people at the weekend but also is very attractive for many tourists when visiting Hue ancient capital.
