Adventure Canyoning
When visiting Da Lat, Vietnam, you have to think adventure. I find this town same same but different from Jasper.
Canyoning, trekking, rafting, elephant tours, motorcycle tours, cycling tours and so on. Lots of other activities to choose from. You can sure spend some time here.
I went on the canyoning tour that cost 30$USD which i found to be great value to what you receive. This excursion is not for the weak and timid , let me explain, they don’t tell you that you had to trek to the canyon that’s about 3km in steep slippery muddy trail, and a “must” release from a three meter free fall into unknown waters from a waterfall.
Then the final hike up a very steep hillside to reach our transport. If people know the steep parts of opal hills in Jasper, bump up the grade a wee more and stretch that to two km straight up.

Silk Factory, Motobike
Silk Factory Tour We did this tour on our own, rented a scooter and checked out areas on our own schedule. I always find these places a tourist trap, but this one turned out to be alright, even with these "actors" demonstrating how to manufacture the product....
Side Roads And Stops
Side Trips on Motobike After driving way past the target zones, we just enjoyed some unscheduled stops. Certainly not on the tourist trail, and driving a road that is pothole ridden, almost getting squashed by a steam roller, pretty scenic route, but not for the weak...
Coffee Farm Dalat
Weasel Coffee Plantation We got to tour around Dalat with a scooter and a hand drawn map, but cheated with google map. I could not gauge how far the distance was with minimal signage and foreign script that is unknown to us, so we ended up in areas that was not on the...
