Da Lat: Three Waterfalls Day Trip & Coffee Farm Stop

Summary

Three waterfalls adventure near Da Lat plus bee farm and coffee views

You’ll feel the spray from Da Lat’s biggest waterfalls, ride Asia’s longest toboggan (hold on tight), taste honey right at the bee farm, and sip weasel coffee with mountain views. With shared minivan pickup and a friendly local guide along for every stop, you’ll see why this day trip sticks with people long after they’ve dried their socks.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to start my day in Da Lat with wet shoes, but that’s what happens when you get a bit too close to Pongour Waterfall. The sound was louder than I thought—like someone left a window open during a storm. Our guide, Thao, grinned and handed me a tissue, which honestly did nothing for my socks but made me laugh. There was this cool mist in the air, and the rocks felt slick under my hands. It’s not a quiet place, but it’s peaceful in its own way.

We piled back into the minivan (air conditioning felt good after climbing around), and drove out past fields where people were bent over rows of something green—maybe artichokes? Thao tried to explain but I got distracted by the smell of honey drifting in through the window. When we stopped at Thai Duong Bee Farm, I dipped a spoon into fresh honey and it tasted way more floral than anything from home. The beekeepers showed us how they work—one guy winked when I flinched at the bees. Guess he’d seen that before.

The highlight for me was probably Elephant Falls—not just because of the waterfall itself (which is wild), but because some local kids were selling sticky rice snacks nearby and one of them tried to teach me how to say “thank you” in Vietnamese. I definitely butchered it; she laughed and mimed eating instead. We also stopped at Me Linh Coffee Plantation for “weasel coffee”—I still think about that first sip, earthy and weirdly chocolatey, looking out over those rolling hills. If you’re into day trips from Da Lat with a bit of everything—waterfalls, food, odd moments—this one’s worth it.
