This is the best tour to catch the bus that arrives in Dalat at dawn. I think the sunrise on the mountain is also amazing, unlike the sunrise on the beach. The guide did his best and I could see him trying to choose a good spot.

Chau was our guide today. The sunrise and view were fantastic. Drinks were provided at each site visited. At the end of the tour, Chau kindly recommended sites to visit and places to eat the best avocado ice cream. Strawberry picking was fun, thank you Chau.

Experience: Very fun! There are 6 parts of canyoning, including zip lines, water skiing, and hiking. Equipment: We will provide diving suits, hats, ropes, shoes, life jackets, etc. Safety: Very safe! There are 3 staff members to guide and accompany you throughout the whole process, and the equipment is also very safe! Coach: The coach is very good. He will first train you on how to use the ropes, and at each point, he will use his arms and hands to explain the terrain and key movements of the canyoning in a detailed manner. Location: Pick up at the hotel, and the luggage can be placed in the car; after the activity, you will go to their office for a home-cooked meal (P5)

Our tour guide, Vinh, was fantastic! His energy made the experience fun and exciting. We loved how informative he was, sharing interesting stories and facts that brought the sights to life. His honest recommendations helped us make the most of our trip, and his friendly demeanor kept us all happy. He also gave us a small token for the trip, which was so thoughtful. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure filled with joy and knowledge!

I had a fun experience at the Fresh garden and Fresh Zoo! I had a great time at Fresh Garden and Fresh Zoo! The flowers were in full bloom, and the animals were adorable. Although it was drizzling, it was still enjoyable. There are also statues and spots perfect for Instagram. I highly recommend it for fellow nature enthusiasts!
