Is Dray Nur or Dray Sap waterfall better?
Dray Nur is wider (150m) and more powerful — better for photos and swimming. Dray Sap is narrower but has a unique cave behind the waterfall that you can walk through. Both are 1km apart and often covered by the same entrance ticket (50k-80k VND combined). If you have time for only one, choose Dray Nur. If you have 2-3 hours, visit both — they complement each other well.
Dray Nur and Dray Sap are sister waterfalls on the Serepok River. They’re often visited together, but they offer different experiences.

The cave at Dray Sap
The main attraction at Dray Sap is a cave that runs behind the waterfall. You can walk through it — the water forms a curtain in front of you. It’s a unique experience but:
- Cave floor is slippery (wear good shoes)
- Not suitable for claustrophobic visitors
- Flashlights sometimes available for rent (5k-10k VND)
- Can get crowded during peak hours
Which to choose?
Choose Dray Nur if:
- You only have time for one
- You want to swim
- You’re visiting with family (easier access)
- You want the classic waterfall photo
Choose Dray Sap if:
- You’ve already seen Dray Nur
- You want a more adventurous experience
- You’re curious about the cave
- You prefer fewer crowds
Best approach: visit both
Since they’re only 1km apart and often on the same ticket, visiting both makes sense:
- Start at Dray Nur (main attraction)
- Spend 1-2 hours (swimming, photos)
- Walk or motorbike to Dray Sap (15 min walk / 2 min ride)
- Spend 45 minutes at Dray Sap (cave exploration)
- Total time: 2.5-3 hours
Combined ticket: 50,000-80,000 VND (verify 2026)
