Experience Da Lat Tours with sustainable adventures (Source: Internet)Da Lat canyoning tours, primarily at Datanla Waterfall (7 km from Da Lat center), offer a 4-6 hour adventure packed with diverse challenges. Here’s a typical itinerary with Legend Travel Group:
Time: 8:30-9:00 AM
Details: Start at the base camp near Datanla Waterfall, where you’ll receive high-quality gear (helmets, harnesses, wetsuits, carabiners, ropes, and water shoes). Professional guides, trained to international standards (e.g., Singapore National Abseiling Standards), teach knot-tying, harness use, and abseiling techniques. Practice on a dry slope ensures confidence before tackling the canyon.
Details: Begin with an 18-meter dry cliff descent next to a 30-meter waterfall. This moderate challenge introduces you to abseiling, with guides providing hands-on support. The rush of leaning back and trusting the rope is exhilarating.
Details: Soar over the river on a 40-meter zipline, ending with a splash into the water below. The Tyrolean Traverse involves crossing a rope bridge above the canyon, offering stunning views of Datanla’s lush surroundings.
Details: Slide head-first down a smooth rock chute carved by water, plunging into a crystal-clear pool. This thrilling activity is a highlight, with multiple runs encouraged. Guides ensure safe positioning to avoid bumps.
Details: Rappel down a 25-meter waterfall, feeling the rush of water as you descend. Known as the “Sky Waterfall,” this challenge tests your skills and rewards you with breathtaking views. Guides monitor safety closely, making it accessible for beginners.
Details: Float along a 100-meter stretch of calm river, surrounded by pine forests. This relaxing break lets you soak in the scenery while preparing for the next challenge. Stay near the surface to avoid shallow rocks.
Details: Test your courage with optional jumps from 7-meter or 11-meter cliffs into deep pools. Guides assess water depth and provide encouragement, but you can skip this without pressure.
Details: The tour’s climax, this 14-meter waterfall rappel spins you through rushing water, earning its nickname “The Washing Machine.” It’s a thrilling finale, requiring mental focus and guide support.
Details: Enjoy a banh mi sandwich, fresh fruits (mango, watermelon, banana), cheese, and hot chocolate amidst the forest. Vegetarian and dietary options are available upon request. Lunch is included in the tour price.
Time: 2:30-3:30 PM
