The experience

The van picks you up at your hotel in Da Lat city centre around 8:30 AM and drives 20 minutes to the canyon. Once you're geared up in a harness, helmet and carabiner, your professional guide teaches you how to abseil before you head down anything real. The first descent is an 18-meter dry abseil to build confidence. After that, the canyon opens up.

The day strings together nine separate challenges. You abseil down a 25-meter waterfall into a pool, then zip across a 50-meter line strung above the canyon. There's a 5-meter water slide down another waterfall, a 7-meter free jump into the water, and a final 14-meter rappel called The Washing Machine. Between descents you swim, trek through sections of the canyon on foot, and relax at the 30-meter waterfall. Lunch (baguette, cheese, fruit, vegetables and water) happens partway through.

The guide handles all the rope rigging and safety checks. Your job is to follow instructions, clip in and move through the canyon. You'll trek uphill for about 20 minutes to get back to the van, then return to your hotel. The whole experience sits between 6 and 8 hours from pickup to drop-off. Travel insurance, all permits, a first aid kit and professional-grade European ropes and carabiners come with the booking. You'll also get photos and video of the day for souvenirs.

What does canyoning actually involve on this trip?

Canyoning here means navigating through a canyon that contains water, using ropes to descend sections where the terrain is too steep to walk or swim. You'll abseil down waterfalls, zip across the canyon, jump and slide into pools, and hike through sections on foot: all guided by professionals who teach you the rope skills first.

Do I need experience to do this, or will the guide teach me?

The guide teaches you how to abseil before you descend anything. Your first rappel is an 18-meter dry abseil designed to build confidence. The guide watches until they're satisfied you've got it, then you move on to the real canyon descents.

What's included in the price?

Hotel pickup and drop-off in Da Lat city centre, professional English-speaking guide, wetsuit, all rappelling gear (harness, helmet, carabiners, ropes), picnic lunch with water, travel insurance, permits and a first aid kit are all included. You'll also receive photos and video of the day.

How long does the whole day take?

The experience runs 6 to 8 hours from hotel pickup to drop-off, including the 20-minute van ride each way, all nine canyon activities, lunch and the trek back to the vehicle.

What's the 50-meter zipline like?

The zipline crosses the canyon at a single 50-meter span. You're clipped in with the same safety gear you use for the abseils, and it happens after you've already practiced rappelling, so the mechanics are familiar.
