Da Lat Canyoning & Zipline: 1500m forest adventure

Canyoning meets ziplining: navigate waterfalls and cliffs, then soar through the canopy

A six-hour canyoning and zipline adventure in Da Lat combines two activities in one day: descend waterfalls and rock walls using specialized equipment, then zip 1500m across the forest canopy on Asia's longest forest zipline system. Professional guides, transport from your hotel, lunch and all safety gear are included. Children from age 7 can join. Moderate fitness is required.

The experience

The day starts at base camp, where guides fit you with canyoning equipment and walk through the techniques you'll use. Then you move into the canyon itself: descending waterfalls, jumping into pools, sliding down natural water chutes, and working your way through fast-flowing streams using ropes and harnesses. The canyoning section demands strength and focus, but guides stay with you through each obstacle, from the 25-meter waterfall station to the "Washing Machine," a natural formation that churns water and rock.

After canyoning, you move to the zipline portion. The system spans 1500 meters across the forest canopy on three separate lines: Asia's longest forest zipline setup. You'll clip in and ride out over the treetops, with the landscape unfolding below. The route includes a dry cliff section and a waterfall zipline, so you're moving through different terrain and angles rather than one straight shot.

Transport picks you up from your hotel and brings you back. Lunch and bottled water are provided during the day. Guides speak English and Vietnamese, and all the permits required to operate in the forest are arranged. The activity runs six hours total, so plan the rest of your day around a morning or early-afternoon start. Children from seven years old can participate, though the operator notes this is not suitable for anyone with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns. It's a physically demanding day.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Vietnamese.

Yes. Ticket types: Child (7 to 15 years). Children under 7 can't be included in the booking.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What exactly is the canyoning part of this activity?

Canyoning in Da Lat means navigating through a canyon using ropes and harnesses to descend waterfalls, jump into pools, and slide down natural water formations. You'll work through obstacles like a 25-meter waterfall station and a formation called the Washing Machine, moving through fast-flowing streams and overcoming rock walls with guidance from trained professionals.

How long is the 1500m zipline and what's it like to ride it?

The 1500-meter zipline is split across three separate lines that carry you over the forest canopy. It's Asia's longest forest zipline system. The route includes a dry cliff section and a waterfall zipline, so you're moving through different terrain rather than one continuous line, and you're suspended above the treetops the whole way.

What's included in the price and what do I need to bring?

The activity includes all specialized canyoning and zipline equipment, professional guides, hotel pickup and return transport, lunch, bottled water, and all necessary permits. Bring a change of clothes and a towel. You'll be wet and muddy by the end of the day.

How fit do I need to be for this?

The operator recommends at least a moderate level of physical fitness. Canyoning involves climbing, jumping, and sustained effort over six hours, and the zipline requires the ability to clip in and manage your position while suspended. The activity is not recommended for people with spinal injuries, cardiovascular concerns, or pregnancy.

What time does the activity start and how long does it take?

The full experience runs six hours from start to finish. Pickup from your hotel is included, so confirm your location and preferred start time when you book: morning departures are typical to maximize daylight in the canyon.
