Canyoning and rappelling in DaLat: Learn 7 challenges

Seven waterfall challenges: knots, rappels, a Tyrolean traverse, water slides, a cliff jump and the Washing Machine fall

A canyoning and rappelling class at Datanla Waterfall in DaLat where you learn knot tying, harness wearing and rappelling technique from expert guides, then descend through seven challenges including an 18-meter rappel, a 25-meter abseil through water, natural slides and a 7-meter cliff jump. The day runs six hours with private transport, gear, lunch and photos included. Children from age 6 are welcome.

The experience

The morning starts at base camp with instruction in knot tying, harness wearing and proper rappelling technique. Once the guides confirm you've got it, you descend your first rappel: an 18-meter drop into the river below, right next to a 30-meter waterfall. From there the canyon opens into a Tyrolean traverse that swings you out and over the river and another fall.

The next stretch takes you through forest and down to natural water slides where you can try several runs before continuing downriver. Then comes the biggest challenge: a 25-meter abseil straight through the water itself, where the guides' instruction on technique matters most. If you want to test your nerve further, there's a 7-meter cliff jump into the pool below. Take a breath, jump, and surface in the river. The final abseil is the Washing Machine, a 14-meter fall that closes the day.

Private transport picks you up and brings you back. The gear, lunch, bottled water and snacks are included, as are photos of the day. The guide speaks English and the whole experience runs six hours.
