TL;DR
Yes — pagodas like Chuk Lam Thuy Son, Chuy Sui Do, and the Ba Ho waterfalls can be reached independently by taxi; one-way fares start around 1,000,000 VND, but getting a taxi back can be tricky, so travelers often go in groups and arrange for the driver to wait.
Chuy Sui Do pagoda is an out-of-town spot travelers prefer visiting as a group so they can split the taxi fare and avoid struggling to find a ride back alone.
The Ba Ho waterfalls are far from the city, and the main challenge of visiting independently is arranging a taxi back, since cars aren't always readily available in that area.
The Chuk Lam Thuy Son pagoda can be reached independently by taxi, with a one-way ride costing around 1,000,000 VND — many travelers say it's worth the trip.
