- 37 Km fantastic bike ride to the countryside - pine forest - vegetable and coffee - farms in Da Lat - High quality mountain bikes - Picnic lunch - Professional and licensed guides The total ride covers about 37 kilometers and moves from Dalat at 1500 meters to an elevation of around 1650 meters and then back down again. A great ride for those looking for varied terrain, a challenge and something slightly technical. Crazy 8 starts from Dalat and heads out to the east past Xuan Huong Lake and up through an area of flower farms. The road turns to dirt after 6 km and meanders around Victory Lake before turning to single track.

A 37 Km ride and another Dalat classic. This is the most physically challenging of our rides. This ride starts out with a good warm up before pushing through a series of punishing hills. Save yourself for the end on this one.
Fantastic views throughout the ride and a great sampling of the terrain with lakes, pine forest and small country farms.After this single track section we connect into a pine forested valley area to the east of Dalat. This is where the hills start to rise up in front of you. The trail varies between a wider dirt trail and technical single track. This section of the ride has great rolling sections, some very tough hills and steep descents.
After we have pounded out the steepest (but thankfully one of the shortest) hill on the ride, we come to a beautiful clearing that looks out over the forested area to the north of Dalat. We take a well earned rest here to have lunch. Lunch consists of fresh veggies and fruits, baguettes with an assortment of toppings and a French-style pastry to satisfy your sweet tooth. Dalat is known as the vegetable garden of Vietnam and lunch offers you a chance to try some of Dalat’s tasty produce.
After lunch we head out of the forest and back into the beautiful farmland area that sits at the mouth of the valley. We briefly overlap a section of trail ridden earlier and head back to Dalat on sealed road to complete a lopsided, crazy looking figure 8.

Awesome morning with Linh as part of a five day activity package we booked with Phat Tire. We're very competent road cyclists but this one challenged us on the trail with the mud and the rain making it more fun. Can't pretend I didn't spend half the morning on my arse but it was always safe and always a brilliant laugh! Views were great!
Or tour guide Vin was very friendly, funny, and patient. After he realised we weren't built for the full 37 KMs he took us the shorter route instead which was easier and only 22 km in total so anyone considering if they can do the full thing should take that into account. Would recommend!
Today I did a Mountainbike tour together with Na and Missi. The two of them are just lovely. They explained very well where we are going and what are the challenges. They always took care of us. First you have to drive on the streets through Da Lat but you’re then entering the forests. The trails are rocky, but it’s lot of fun to cope with them. It’s exhausting going up the hills but in the end you’ll have a really nice view. We had a delicious picnic and on the way back to Da Lat we stopped for some fresh juice. It was lot of fun to chat with Na and Missi during the breaks - they are really funny. I can definitely recommend this trip!
Hi Sarah D, Thank you very much for the review of your mountain biking trip in Dalat. Glad to know your trip was great and the guides were also friendly as per the expectations. Hope to have a chance to be with you on our adventures in Vietnam next time! Best regards,
The name says at all :-). Steep descends and steep climbs, but the perfect way to explore Dalat and her surroundings. Trip goes through the city to the pine forrests and flower houses. Material was in top condition, guides were very friendly, included lunch was great. We would recommend this tour to everyone that desires a good MTB challenge.
Hi Slagtim, Thank you very much for the review of Crazy 8 Mountain Bike Tour from Dalat. We are glad you loved the trip with our friendly guides on the great trail. We hope to have you back next time! Best regards!
I had an amazing time on my ride! It was everything and more than I expected. After looking for many mountain biking options in south eats Asia, this was the best one yet and I will definitely be back! I did the crazy 8 ride, if you are looking for a tough cross country ride through villages, up big hills and down steep ones. If you are questioning your ability you will probably be better off doing the northern exposure ride. My guide was great, we chatted the whole time. Food was awesome as well.
Hi cswwillson, Thank you for reaching out to Phat Tire Ventures Vietnam and sharing your Crazy 8 experience. We are so happy to know we made your mountain biking day in Da Lat memorable. We appreciate your sharing and recommendation. Hope to see you again soon! Best regards,
This tour is for absolute experts. Even the guides takes hours to complete, and will sometimes have to get off and walk. We ended up taking the easier trail they offer (22 km) and that was just the right amount of leisure/challenging. However, my friend did take a nasty fall on the last descent, and lost most of the skin on her arm. Then she had to ride another hour out. So keep injuries in mind if you decide to conquer the crazy 8. Gorgeous views from any trail.
Dear Kendra4568, Thank you very much for taking time to write the review and give the recommendation. We genuinely hope your friend is ok after the bike fall. We noted this issue to improve the description to make sure it correctly describes the routing to our next clients. Hope all is well! Best regards,
My girlfriend and I decided to do the Crazy 8 mountain bike trail in Da Lat. We were keen mountain bikers before leaving on our travels but haven’t been on a bike for 6 months and completely under estimated this trail. My girlfriend struggled with a few of the steep, rocky decents and spent a lot of the time pushing the bike. In the end the guides took us on an easier route. The guides (Linh & Dom) were fantastic and really patient and we can’t thank them enough. This review sounds as if we didn’t have fun but the trip was amazing from start to finish. Just don’t underestimate Crazy 8 and there are plenty of other rides for all levels.
