Da Lat 3 Waterfalls Adventure is a tour exploring three prominent waterfalls around Da Lat, combining natural scenery, countryside roads, light activities, and adventure experiences at Datanla. This product is suitable for travelers who want to see a more adventurous side of Da Lat: not just flowers, lakes, cafes, and mountain towns, but also waterfalls, pine forests, passes, rocks, streams, and the countryside.
The main route can be Datanla Waterfall – Pongour Waterfall – Elephant Waterfall. Among these, Datanla is suitable for travelers who want to try the alpine coaster or light activities near the center; Pongour is a large, wide waterfall that is great for photography; Elephant Waterfall feels more wild and is often combined with Linh An Pagoda on countryside tours. Some tours still sell the Datanla – Pongour – Elephant route in about 7–8 hours, but you should check the status of each site before the departure date.
Because this is a waterfall tour, the product should be sold as adventure but safe. Do not promise guests that they will get close to the base of the waterfall, enter caves, climb rocks, or visit all three waterfalls if there is heavy rain, slippery paths, strong water, or restricted access. Sales should have backup options ready, such as Prenn Waterfall, Linh An Pagoda, coffee farm, Datanla extended activity, or a Pongour-only countryside route.

Detailed Itinerary
Day 1
Vehicle and guide pick up guests at central Da Lat hotels. The guide gives an overview of the itinerary, travel time, safety notes for waterfall visits, footwear, raincoats, and optional activities at Datanla.
Visit Datanla Waterfall, a waterfall close to Da Lat center. Guests can take a short walk to see the waterfall or buy an additional alpine coaster ticket if they want a mild thrill. Datanla currently offers several services such as entrance tickets, roller coaster, zipline/high rope/canyoning depending on the package; check prices and activities before the day.
If guests choose a package with the alpine coaster, the guide assists with getting tickets and explains the process. Datanla's roller coaster is featured on international platforms with a new track of about 2,400m through the forest, with a braking system so guests can control their speed.
The vehicle moves toward Duc Trong/Ninh Gia. This is a longer stretch, so guests should prepare motion sickness medicine if they are prone to it, a light jacket, and water.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant or suitable dining spot along the route. The menu may include Vietnamese rice, chicken, fish, Da Lat vegetables, soup, vegetarian options, or a set menu depending on the package.
Visit Pongour Waterfall, one of the most beautiful and widest waterfalls in the Lam Dong area. Pongour is described as having a height of nearly 40m, spreading over 100m across a terraced rock system, located about 50km from Da Lat center.
Guests have time to take photos, walk around the safe area, and view the waterfall from the main viewpoints. Do not climb down slippery rocks or cross restricted areas, especially during the rainy season when the water is strong.
If Elephant Waterfall is open and the road is safe, the vehicle continues to the Nam Ban/Lam Ha area. Some 2026 local travel updates note that Elephant Waterfall has reopened to visitors, but sales still need to check directly with the supplier/attraction before the day because natural waterfall conditions can change.
Guests visit Elephant Waterfall if it is safe. This waterfall has more natural terrain, the path can be slippery, and it is not suitable for guests with mobility issues, young children, or elderly guests on rainy days. If not suitable, switch to Linh An Pagoda, coffee farm, or Prenn Waterfall.
Stop at a café or countryside viewpoint if time allows. This is a good rest point after a long day of travel.
