About This Tour

A 4-day Da Lat city and countryside tour from Ho Chi Minh City

Discover the cooler highlands of Da Lat on a 4-day, 3-night private, tailor-made journey beginning and ending in Ho Chi Minh City. Enjoy flower gardens, peaceful lake scenery, Buddhist heritage, local markets and the agricultural villages around Da Lat, with a comfortable balance of sightseeing and time to relax.

The proposed itinerary uses domestic flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Lien Khuong Airport, subject to the airline’s operating schedule and availability on your dates. The airport reopened in August 2026 after runway works, but individual flights, baggage, fares and transfers must be checked before booking. Hotel arrangements, guiding, meals and entrance fees will be itemised in a personalised written quotation, not assumed included without confirmation.

What makes this Da Lat trip special?

Da Lat city: a gentle introduction to Xuan Huong Lake, local markets, highland food and flower-growing traditions.
Tuyen Lam Lake and Truc Lam Zen Monastery: pine forests, a serene Buddhist setting and optional cable-car views if services are operating.
Local history: discover Bao Dai’s Summer Palace or a similar open cultural landmark with a guide, at a pace that suits your group.
Country life: learn about coffee cultivation, flower farms, craft production and local food around Ta Nung and Nam Ban, depending on available hosts.
Flexible nature stops: view highland landscapes without requiring risky waterfall descents or strenuous hikes.
Private planning: customise hotel standards, accessibility, rest breaks, airport transfers and optional sunrise experiences.

Who is this tour for?

Couples, friends, independent travellers and families who enjoy culture, gardens, nature and countryside visits without a demanding adventure programme. Most activities involve short walks, roads with curves and some steps; please tell Haivenu about mobility needs in advance. This is not a cycling or motorbike tour.

Four days, three nights: travel plan

Fly from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Lat on Day 1, explore city landmarks and Tuyen Lam Lake on Day 2, visit countryside farms and viewpoints on Day 3, then return by air to Ho Chi Minh City on Day 4. If flight schedules are unsuitable, Haivenu can discuss alternative ground arrangements and quote them separately.

Important access note: Elephant Waterfall’s main visitor entrance was reported closed in September 2026. This itinerary does not promise entry to the waterfall. Any nearby safe viewpoint or Linh An Pagoda visit is subject to current access and local conditions. Cloud hunting, the cable car, attractions and farm visits can also change with weather and operating hours.

Prices and booking

There is no fixed online price. Tell Haivenu your travel dates, number of adults and children, desired hotel category, interests and any dietary or accessibility requirements. We will prepare an itinerary with stated flights, accommodation, transport, guiding, entrance fees, meals and cancellation terms, and confirm the total price in writing before you book.
