Truoi Lake tours with best prices and high quality in 2026

Truoi Lake is the largest artificial lake in Thua Thien Hue province, located about 40 km south of Hue city center at the foot of the majestic Bach Ma Mountain. Covering nearly 400 hectares with a storage capacity of up to 60 million cubic meters of water, Truoi Lake is not only a vital irrigation project but also a prominent ecotourism and spiritual destination, attracting over 50,000 visitors annually. It stands out with its crystal-clear blue waters, peaceful ambiance, and Truc Lam Bach Ma Zen Monastery – one of the largest Zen monasteries in Vietnam, offering an experience that harmoniously combines natural beauty and spiritual culture.

Truoi Lake tours are often designed as 1-day trips or combined multi-day itineraries, suitable for travelers from Hue, Da Nang, or Quang Tri. They feature activities such as boat cruising on the lake, visiting the Zen Monastery, exploring natural streams, and savoring local cuisine. This journey is ideal for those seeking an escape from urban hustle to reconnect with peace amidst grand nature.

The Truoi Lake tour with Sovaba Travel is a special journey combining nature exploration, spiritual cultural experiences, and local culinary highlights. Featuring a well-planned itinerary and knowledgeable local guides, the trip promises memorable moments for every traveler.

Scenic Boat Cruise on Truoi Lake

One of the most exciting experiences is riding a motorboat smoothly across the calm waters of Truoi Lake. Surrounded by rolling mountain ranges and lush virgin forests, the boat ride opens up a meditative space amidst nature. Sovaba Travel's tour guide will lead you along the water to the dock of Truc Lam Zen Monastery, marking the beginning of a profound spiritual journey.

Visiting Truc Lam Bach Ma Zen Monastery

Nestled at the foot of Linh Son Mountain, Truc Lam Bach Ma Zen Monastery is a must-visit stop on the tour. Featuring traditional East Asian architecture and a tranquil environment, it allows you to unwind, pray for peace, and discover the unique philosophy of the Truc Lam Zen sect. From the main hall, visitors can take in panoramic views of clear Truoi Lake and the grand Bach Ma Mountain range.

Exploring Legendary Streams

During the journey, Sovaba Travel will take you to legendary streams such as Hop Hai, Vung Thong, Ong Vien, and Ba Trai. Strolling along mossy rocky banks, soaking your feet in cool fresh water, or simply listening to the gentle gush of running water will soothe your soul. Adventure lovers can catch wild stream fish and enjoy a riverside picnic.

Savoring Local Cuisine

After hours of exploration, you can enjoy Hue specialties such as banh beo, banh nam, or grilled stream fish right at local eateries near the lake. 

Enjoying the Ecological Space

More than just a relaxation spot, Truoi Lake is an ideal place to immerse yourself in nature. Surrounded by the diverse ecosystem of mangrove forests and Bach Ma Mountain, visitors can stroll along lush green trails, breathe in fresh air, and listen to birdsong echoing through the ancient forest.
