About this experience

8.5 km of moderate hiking to the beautiful kayaking area. Pick up and transfer in city. Picnic lunch. The trailhead starts just south of Dalat and a short 15 minute vehicle transfer. We head up from 1,500 meters in elevation to the ridgeline which meanders between 1,650 and 1,700 meters. This 8.5 km hike heads up along a jungle fringed ridgeline just south of town. This lonely trail charges up to its peak elevation early on and then gently rolls before heading down to the lake where our kayaks are located. You will be treated to a picnic lunch prepared by the guide, taking advantage of the many fruits and vegetable grown in the Dalat area. After lunch, we will explore the far end of the lake on the kayaks and spend the remainder of the day exploring the many inlets and secret spots. The area is also known as the most popular spots in Vietnam for bird watching. A great day out for those who love to be on the water. Did we mention that the lake is also great for swimming!!

Hike Kayak

Enjoyed our time with "Twin" I am sure I have mispelled his name but it sounds like that. From the forest to the jungle we go hiking...you have options where to hike...then a kayak but thunder scared us off lake. We went more aggressive BUT got the real Vietnam experience!

Super day trip and mangos

Super day trekking through jungle and alpine forests, and kayaking on the lake. Our guide Lin was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly and funny! Vietnam is a wonderful country, but our experience has proved that it's the beautiful people that have made our trip memorable. We loved getting to know Lin and sharing his passion for the wild nature around Dalat. Very hearty lunch too - the mangos yum yum!!

Hike and Kayaking

The hike was about two hours long through the hills and by the lake side. You can see everything from mountains to a tropical forest. We had a nice lunch with baguette, different vegetables cheese and sausage. The lake was really calm and pretty. We where basically the only tourist there and could explore as much as we wanted. Dong our tour guide was really nice. I can definitely recommend it.

Response from the operator: Hi Nikolaus B, Thank you for your lovely review. We are happy to hear that you had a wonderful time hiking and exploring the nature of Vietnam. You are very lucky to have such a peaceful and scenic experience by the lake. We appreciate your compliments for our tour guide Dong, who is very friendly and helpful. He will be glad to know that you enjoyed his service and his company. We hope you have a great rest of your trip in Vietnam. Best regards,

Hike and Kayak with exploring Tuyen Lam Lake in Da Lat: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Da Lat.

How much does Hike and Kayak with exploring Tuyen Lam Lake in Da Lat cost?

+

Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Da Lat usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Hike and Kayak with exploring Tuyen Lam Lake in Da Lat take?

+

Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Da Lat is not rushed.

Is Hike and Kayak with exploring Tuyen Lam Lake in Da Lat worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Da Lat, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Hike and Kayak with exploring Tuyen Lam Lake in Da Lat?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Hike and Kayak with exploring Tuyen Lam Lake in Da Lat suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Hike and Kayak with exploring Tuyen Lam Lake in Da Lat?

+

Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Da Lat can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Da Lat and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Hike and Kayak with exploring Tuyen Lam Lake in Da Lat start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Da Lat within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Da Lat?

+

On Outty we rank every Da Lat experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Canyoning Activity in Da Lat with Lunch, Canyoning Tour in Dalat Viet Nam, Canyoning in Dalat Vietnam. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Da Lat?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Da Lat?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
