NOT so good a walk for the elderly best view from top unless you are really agile, Fabric store must not be missed.

Walking under the water falls was definitely the highlight. Glad it was the elephant walking the mud and not me haha. My husband especially enjoyed the bamboo swinging bridge.

It’s a beautiful waterfall and it has a nice pagoda right next to it, so you really get two sights in one. Beautiful views- especially from the cave below the falls.

These Falls are quite spectacular but just an accident waiting to happen. I did not go further down than the first part as there is no path to speak of and nothing much to hold onto. The way down was wet and very slippy and there were people going down there in flip flops, stilettos and carrying children....un believable!

I enjoyed this trip, the falls themselves aren't particularly outstanding although they are lovely to see. Beautiful falls but you have to trek down a sometimes slippery slope to view. After a few steps down over rocks to the bottom, you get a fantastic view up the waterfall.

Felt like a mountain goat at time but, had to do it. Climbed down side of mountain on steps cut from the rocks to a cavern at the bottom of the falls. An experience that I will always remember and so glad I did it. Highlight of my trip to Vietnam.

Hired a bike and rode out to these ourselves. Quite a long ride from Dalat, about 45 minutes, but you need to just keep going and you will see a small sign for them. There is now 2 guys blocking the path and charging for them so they are not free as they say in the guide book. Path down... More

Despite the end of the dry season-there was lots of water flowing over these falls. The walk down to catch a better view near the base of the falls is a bit hairy-you almost need to be a mountain goat! Had a good local guide to lead me down and safely back to the car park!

We went to the falls with our guide( easy riders). It was very scenic. You can hike down behind the falls but it can be treacherous. The rocks and seps can be very slippery. I had rubber soles runners but became very slippery when they got wet. If you fall it could be very serious so be very careful. The... More

Ideally wear walking boots but if it isn't raining don't worry, it's only a bit slippy nearer the falls.
