Dalat
Dive into a bit of adventure with a guided canyoning experience at the Elephant and Pongour Waterfalls near to the city of Dalat in Vietnam’s central highlands.
In contrast to Bach Ma, nearby Dalat has become Central Vietnam’s busy adventure travel hub. Most people come here for the canyoning (abseiling down waterfalls), but there are some decent hikes in the national parks and other protected areas nearby.
The area’s elevation means that temperatures are refreshing and cool for much of the year, especially when compared with the lowlands.
The region’s fertile soils yield natural resources aplenty but wildlife still thrives here, including elephants, bears and gibbons.

You’ll then be collected and driven to the beach town of Mui Ne.
