TL;DR
According to a late-August 2026 answer, you can get from Nha Trang to the Ba Ho Waterfalls turnoff by minibus or by the large bus No. 12: both head north along highway QL1A, the only direct road from Nha Trang to Doc Let Beach. From the highway it is still a long way through a village to the falls, and the bus has a stated interval of about 120 minutes, so allow plenty of spare time.
The large bus No. 12 from Nha Trang heads north along highway QL1A and passes the turnoff for the Ba Ho Waterfalls, according to an answer in late August 2026. The participant explained that QL1A is the only direct road north from Nha Trang to Doc Let Beach, so transport on this route goes past the turnoff.
The minibus that runs north from Nha Trang along QL1A toward Doc Let Beach also passes the Ba Ho turnoff (answer from late August 2026). It is the second public transport option if you do not want to wait for bus No. 12.
A traveler who went to Ba Ho on an excursion bus said in August 2026 that even the bus drove for quite a while along a lane through a village. She does not recommend walking this stretch unless hiking is the goal: it is not a pleasant walk, and at the falls you still have to scramble over rocks.
The bus has a stated interval of about 120 minutes, which worried travelers planning to ride to the Ba Ho turnoff in late August 2026. The person answering also warned that combining Ba Ho and Doc Let Beach in one trip by public transport can be physically hard because of the logistics, so plan your return in advance.
