Dalat Vietnam Canyoning Tour

No previous canyoning or rappelling experience is required. The guides provide equipment instruction and practical rope training before you enter the main canyon. You practise the techniques at a training point first. Participation in the main canyon is subject to the guide's safety assessment and your ability to follow instructions during the training.

You do not need to be a strong swimmer, but you must be confident in water. Buoyancy equipment is provided for every participant. The route includes swimming sections in natural pools and moving water inside the canyon. You must follow the guides' instructions during every swimming section, and the guides identify the safe entry and exit points.

The tour is moderately demanding and runs for approximately six to eight hours. It includes walking, swimming, rope descents and slippery terrain inside the canyon. The day ends with an uphill trek of approximately 40 minutes back to the vehicle. Participants need good general health, reasonable fitness and the ability to walk on uneven ground for several hours.

The jump is not currently part of the programme. The operator states that it is being skipped because the water is not deep enough at the landing point. It may only reopen following a professional safety assessment of the water depth. The canyon day still includes the dry abseil, the Tyrolean traverse, the waterfall descents and the natural slides.

High water may lead to route changes, postponed activities or cancellation of the trip. The canyoning operator makes the final decision based on water levels, weather and participant safety. Heavy rain can raise the canyon's water level quickly. Individual features may also be altered or skipped when the water level is unsuitable on the day.

The tour page does not give one fixed minimum age for children. Children must be physically confident, fit the supplied equipment correctly and receive approval from the operator before joining. A parent or legal guardian must complete the required paperwork for an underage participant. Contact Rew Rew Adventures with your child's age and size so the operator can assess suitability.

Handheld recording devices are not permitted in the canyon for safety reasons. A helmet-mounted or chest-mounted action camera may be allowed with the guides' prior approval. Photographs taken during the activity by the team are included in the tour price. Leave handheld phones and cameras with your dry belongings before entering the canyon.

Lunch is a simple picnic served inside the canyon. The itinerary lists bread, cheese, fruit, jam and water for the picnic. The final menu, vegetarian choices and allergy arrangements must be confirmed with the operator before the tour. Tell Rew Rew about dietary requirements when you book so the arrangements can be checked.
