Guide to go to Suối Mơ by motorbike
The second option is to go by private car or motorbike for those who prefer to travel. Riding a motorbike will take about 3 hours following the direction of QL1 to Ngã 3 Dầu Dây, then continue through Định Quán for about 700m and turn right to go deep inside until you reach Suối Mơ. Riding a motorbike in a day will be quite tiring, you can choose to stay overnight and the next day visit some other tourist areas in Đồng Nai before returning to Sài Gòn.

First, you need to buy the entrance ticket. The ticket price here is quite reasonable, adults are 80,000 VND, children from 1.1m to 1.3m are 50,000 VND. But I went on the weekend so the adult ticket price is 100,000 VND. The ticket already includes the swimming pool fee.
What to do at Suối Mơ?
ADMIRE THE WATERFALL, SWIM IN THE POOL
Suối Mơ is likened to a “sea above the forest”, with a unique waterfall landscape, and moreover the pool area here clearly divides the “territory” of adults and children, with a total area of nearly 3500m2. Isn’t that amazing?
The natural swimming pool area is also a frequent check-in spot for tourists when they come here, next to the waterfall, at the foot is the deep blue water and a row of stacked rocks, just stand in the middle and you will have a great photo.
ADVENTUROUS GAMES
Suối Mơ offers many underwater games for adventurous people such as water cars, water motorcycles, connected floating houses, and multi-lane water slides. These games cost around 45-60 thousand VND per person.

The space at Suối Mơ is elaborately arranged, so if you are a “virtual living” enthusiast, this is the place for you. Suối Mơ has a love bridge that makes you feel like you are in Đà Nẵng, cute hammocks overlooking the waterfall resembling Maldives, and you can even sit on the steps and pose with the background here to create beautiful photos.
Just a note that Suối Mơ tourist area will not allow you to bring outside food into the swimming pool area, so if you want to rest and have lunch or buy food for a picnic near the swimming area, you can buy/eat directly at the restaurants or food stalls inside. The food here is quite delicious and hygienic, and most importantly, the prices are very affordable…

Review Suối Mơ Đồng Nai
- It’s no coincidence that this place is known as the “sea above the forest.” According to the locals, there are many underground streams flowing here, so the water is always clear and the fish swimming can be clearly seen, giving a feeling of being immersed in nature. Most people who come here enjoy swimming in the stream because the water is cool, and there are swimming gear rental services available!
- Since I visited on a weekday, there weren’t many people in the photos, but it can get quite crowded on weekends.
- Advantages: there are many Instagrammable spots for those who like taking photos, and you can ask the staff to recommend beautiful photo spots. Suitable for outdoor group trips, team building, peaceful atmosphere, and fresh air.
- Disadvantages: Limited dining services, and not much attractive cuisine available.
I hope my article will be somewhat helpful for those planning to visit Suối Mơ. Let’s experience Suối Mơ on the weekend with your family.
