Itinerary

Your Easy Rider guide meets you at your hotel in Dalat and gets everything ready for the day. After a short introduction and safety check, you hop on the back of the motorbike and head out of the city toward the surrounding countryside, where traffic fades and nature takes over.

The first major stop is Pongour Waterfall, often called the “Seven-Level Waterfall.” Wide rock terraces and a powerful flow of water make this one of the most impressive waterfalls in southern Vietnam. You’ll have time to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the cool, open landscape before continuing the ride.

Next, you visit Linh An Pagoda, a peaceful Buddhist complex overlooking the valley. The highlight here is the giant Lady Buddha statue, visible from far away. Incense, quiet courtyards, and panoramic views create a calm contrast to the morning’s waterfall stop.

From the pagoda area, you head down to Elephant Waterfall. This is a raw, powerful cascade crashing over large boulders. You can walk down the stone path to get closer, feel the mist, and hear the roar of the water—an energetic and memorable nature stop.

You stop at a local restaurant for lunch. This is a good chance to relax, refuel, and chat with your guide before continuing deeper into Dalat’s rural surroundings.

After lunch, the tour turns toward local life and unusual traditions. At the cricket farm, you learn how crickets are raised and processed as a sustainable food source. For curious travelers, there’s also the option to try a crispy fried cricket.

Next, you visit a silk factory to see how silk is produced, from silkworms to spinning and weaving. This stop offers insight into one of Dalat’s long-standing crafts and the daily work behind it.

The ride continues to Me Linh Coffee Plantation, a hilltop stop known for its wide views over coffee fields, lakes, and surrounding hills. You can relax, take photos, and enjoy a cup of Dalat coffee if you like while soaking in one of the best viewpoints of the day.

The final stop is Tuyen Lam Lake, a quiet body of water surrounded by pine forests. It’s a calm place to slow down, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the natural scenery before heading back toward Dalat.
