What it is

The Da Lat Countryside Minivan Shared Tour (Three Waterfalls) is an 8-hour guided day trip that departs from Da Lat city center and covers the scenic highland countryside of Lam Dong Province. Traveling in a small shared minivan (typically up to 15 guests), you visit Datanla Waterfall — famous for its alpine roller coaster descent to the base — then push further into Duc Trong district to reach Pongour Waterfall, known locally as the 'Seven-Tier Falls' and one of the widest cascades in the Central Highlands, and Elephant Waterfall, a thundering multi-drop fall set in dense forest. Between waterfall stops, the tour typically includes Me Linh Coffee Garden (where Robusta, Moka, and weasel/civet Kopi Luwak coffee are produced), a bee farm with tastings, and Linh An Pagoda, home to one of Vietnam's largest Guanyin Bodhisattva statues. An English-speaking guide narrates throughout. Da Lat sits at roughly 1,500 m elevation, so expect pleasantly cool temperatures compared to the lowland heat.

Highlights

Datanla Waterfall — the closest cascade to Da Lat city, famous for its optional alpine roller coaster that winds through the forest down to the falls; a fun and photogenic opener.
Pongour Waterfall — a wide, seven-tiered cascade roughly 50 km from Da Lat in Duc Trong district, often called the most spectacular waterfall in the Central Highlands and especially dramatic after rain.
Elephant Waterfall (Thac Voi) — a powerful multi-drop falls set amid lush jungle; you can scramble down rock steps to stand close to the roaring base, making for dramatic photos.
Me Linh Coffee Garden — a working highland plantation where guides explain the full coffee process from cherry to cup, including rare Kopi Luwak (weasel coffee) production; free tastings usually available.
Linh An Pagoda & Giant Guanyin Statue — a serene hilltop temple complex featuring one of Vietnam's largest Quan Am (Bodhisattva of Compassion) statues, offering sweeping highland views.
Thai Duong Bee Garden — a local honey farm where you can taste bee products and learn about highland beekeeping; a quirky, low-key stop that surprises most visitors.

Good to know

Duration is typically around 8 hours (roughly 8 AM to 4–5 PM); hotel or central meeting-point pickup is usually included, so confirm the exact time when booking.
Shared minivans typically carry up to 15 travelers — a social format that keeps costs low (usually around $20–25 USD per person) while still providing a dedicated English-speaking guide.

Frequently asked

What's the difference between the three waterfalls on this tour?: Each fall has its own character. Datanla is closest to Da Lat city and has an optional alpine roller coaster down to the base. Pongour (about 50 km out) is the widest — a broad seven-tiered cascade often called the most beautiful in the Central Highlands. Elephant Waterfall is a powerful, roaring drop set in thick jungle where you can scramble down to get very close to the base.
Is lunch included in the Da Lat minivan countryside tour?: Typically no — lunch is at your own expense. The tour usually stops at a local restaurant mid-day, but the cost is not bundled into the tour price. Budget an extra few dollars, or bring snacks if you prefer.
What should I wear or bring on the Da Lat waterfalls tour?: Pack a light jacket or layer — Da Lat's highland altitude keeps temperatures cool (often 15–20 °C), and waterfall mist adds to the chill. Wear comfortable walking shoes with some grip; paths near the waterfall bases can be wet and rocky. Sunscreen, a small daypack, and some local cash for lunch and optional extras (like the Datanla roller coaster) are also handy.
