Where you're going

Cooler air,
and a slower pace

A short trip from Saigon up into Da Lat, Vietnam's highland town, where the air cools and the pace slows down. Once you're there: go-kart racing, ostrich riding, a swing out over the valley, the surreal architecture of the Crazy House, a night at a homestay in the pine forest, and the slide at Datanla Waterfall. Drop-in pickleball is built in for anyone who wants a game — optional, and easy to skip.

Everything below is a sample itinerary. We tailor the pace and the play to your group before you travel.

Day by day

Five days, at your pace

Saigon to start, then based in Da Lat for the rest of the trip — timing on Day 1 flexes around when you land.

Day1
★ Timing flexes around your flight

This day depends on when you land in Saigon. Arrive in the morning or early afternoon, and the sleeper bus takes you straight up to Da Lat, arriving late that night. Land later in the day, and we'll keep you in Saigon for one night, then send you up to Da Lat early the next morning instead — either way, you're in Da Lat before the real itinerary starts.

🚌 Saigon → Da Lat · ~7–8 hrs by sleeper bus
Day2
★ A full day of Da Lat's playful side

Settle into the cooler air with a day built for fun — Mario Kart racing, ostrich riding at a local farm, and a swing out over the valley for one of Da Lat's most photographed views. Round out the afternoon at the Crazy House, a guesthouse built like something out of a fairytale, all tangled staircases and tree-root railings.
