Description

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!!

Excellent Guide

Excellent Friendly Guide Lindhe has given us a wonderful day. Walked through the beautiful nature with a delicious homemade lunch. Lindhe adapted well to our walking pace and took nice pictures of us when we were kayaking. We had a great time.

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.

Great day, lovely guide

My wife and I went with Phat Tire Ventures on a combined trek and kayaking expedition to Tuyen Lam Lake, Da Lat. Although our connections in Da Lat said we could do it on our own, I’m glad my wife and I chose the trip as the trek led is through pine forest and rain forest tracks we would never haver found by ourselves. The trek was about 6 kilometres to the lunch spot (lovely healthy lunch provided – my wife had specified vegetarian for her) where we also kayaked on the lake and my wife swam. We then walked a further 2 kilometres over a hill to reconnect with the minibus which had collected us from our hotel. The trek is described as moderate, requiring a reasonable degree of fitness, but there is a lot of ascent and descent. I’m used to hill-walking, but found it quite strenuous, particularly in the heat – but then I am 74. You do need proper walking footwear, though trail shoes were enough. And wear a long sleeved shirt as you will push through some prickly bushes. Our English speaking Vietnamese guide was lovely and knowledgeable and was happy to go at our pace. The cost of $55 each seemed worth it.

A recommended recluse!

Another great experience with the Phat Tires team. Very professional, friendly and able to provide great adventures. The kayaking was quite peaceful although apparently is even better later in the year, with more scope to explore more of the rainforest. The hike was a fine workout and a total break from city life, especially with such knowledgeable guides and great scenery.

Beautiful Day and a lovely tour

This was a really fun and beautiful trip! The hike is fairly demanding in the beginning, but our guide gave us time to rest and was not pushy. The mountain is beautiful, remote, and has amazing views! The rest of the hike is very rainforesty and relatively easy, so that was also enjoyable and pretty. Water was provided, and the lunch was substantial and varied (bread, cheese, peanut butter, fruit, pork/tofu). Kayaking was relaxing and serene, even with a little bit of rain. Our guide was friendly and we trusted him!
