2. Best time for canyoning in Da Lat, Vietnam
Thanks to its highland location, the weather in Da Lat is pleasantly cool year-round. Da Lat has two main seasons: dry (October to April) and rainy (May to September). For Da Lat canyoning, the dry season is the best time. During these months, rainfall is minimal, which reduces the risk of flash floods and makes navigating the waterfalls safer.

Lower water levels also mean clearer views of the rocks and safer conditions for abseiling and sliding. The fresh air of the dry season adds to the experience, making every moment in the canyon even more enjoyable.

3. Datanla Waterfalls – the best spot for Da Lat canyoning
Datanla Waterfalls is the ultimate spot for a canyoning tour in Da Lat. The adventure begins with a trek through the lush forest, weaving past dense canopies and clear streams to reach hidden cascades that most tourists never see. Each waterfall brings a new set of challenges and emotions, offering a far more rugged and wild side of Da Lat than the usual.
Continuing this Da Lat canyoning journey, you will rappel down dry cliffs about 12 meters high. Then comes the highlight: descending a powerful 25-meter-high waterfall that roars with intensity. As the journey continues deeper into the canyon, you will take on the Tyrolean Traverse – a thrilling zipline crossing above a waterfall – then ride down a natural waterslide carved into smooth rocks. The final challenge features two dramatic jumps: a free jump from a 9-meter-high cliff, and the infamous Washing Machine, where the current spins and tosses you like laundry – an exhilarating end to the tour.
