Meet your guide at your accommodation within 2 km of central Da Lat. The order of attractions may change with weather, traffic, waterfall conditions and the opening hours of local workshops.

Stop 1

Datanla Waterfall

The coaster is optional and may stop for weather or maintenance. Both Datanla tickets are excluded from the tour price.

Drive

Leave the city and travel south through highland countryside. The road passes agricultural land, greenhouses, small communities and mountain scenery. Your guide explains local farming and everyday life in the Central Highlands during the drive.

Stop 2

Pongour Waterfall

Visit Pongour Waterfall, known for its broad formation and multiple natural rock levels. Walk from the visitor area to the main viewpoint and take time for photographs. Its entrance ticket is included in the price. Flow and appearance vary between seasons, and paths can be slippery after rain.

Lunch

Stop for lunch during the countryside journey. Your guide can explain the menu and request vegetarian food where available. Each guest pays for their own food and drinks directly.
