Some operators describe canyoning in Da Lat as including abseiling, sliding down water, jumping off waterfalls, hiking, and swimming.

Detailed Itinerary
Day 1
The car and adventure team will pick you up at your hotel in central Da Lat. You should wear quick-dry sportswear, comfortable shoes with good grip, and avoid bringing valuables.
You arrive at the staging area, meet the instructor/guide, and receive an overview of canyoning, weather, water levels, route, and important points.
You receive a helmet, life jacket, harness, gloves, and other necessary equipment. The guide explains how to wear the gear, listen to commands, control the rope, sit in the harness, jump into water, and handle slides/floats.
You practice rappelling/abseiling on a dry cliff to get familiar. The guide only starts the real route when you understand the basic techniques and feel confident.
You begin the first challenge: rappelling down a dry cliff, controlling your speed and getting used to the height.
You experience a zipline or crossing depending on the day's route. This activity depends on the rope system, water conditions, and the guide's decision.
You slide down natural waterfalls, swim, or float along gentle currents in a safe area. This is a relaxing part, but you still need to wear a life jacket and follow the guide.
Lunch break in the forest or a permitted area. Some canyoning tours include sandwiches/bread, fruit, water, or a light lunch; the actual menu depends on the supplier.
You continue rappelling down the waterfall. This is the most challenging part; you must listen to the guide, stay calm, control the rope, and not move on your own.
Depending on the route, supplier, and water conditions, you may take part in a cliff jump or final waterfall challenge. This is optional and only done when the guide confirms it's safe.
You walk out of the canyon, return to the changing area, collect your personal belongings, and rest.
The car takes you back to your central Da Lat hotel. End of the tour.
