Peaceful sunrise and refreshing way to start the morning in what can be a noisy city during the day.

5.00Khanh was such a delight! He communicated with us great. Made sure we knew what to expect and how to prepare the day before. Picked us up himself, was very knowledgeable about the city, mountain, wilderness, and sunrise. We got lucky and were treated with our special guest guide Liam who was out of school so attended the tour with us on a weekday. There are multiple other groups that now do the tour, but they were all trained by Khanh. So if you want the original make sure to go with Khanh directly. He really helped us to feel appreciative and connected with the environment and the mountain itself. Even after hundreds of tours he still has a passion for what he does and really seems to love the tour, the outdoors, the mountain, and his city. He made our Vietnam experience better for him having been a part of it.
Excellent sunrise experience

5.00Returned from a great sunrise trip with Khanh with amazing views sat on top of a peak watching the clouds 'dance' and waiting for the sun to appear above the mountains beyond. We were given lovely artichoke tea made by Khanhs mother and had sweet toast whilst watching the sunrise. Coffee was also given out too. Khanh is so informative and passionate about Dalat and has lots of information to share about different things connected to the mountain. We were taken back to a village where Khanh lives for a beef Pho before being transported back to the airbnb. A wonderful trip which I'd highly recommend to all.
What a fantastic morning...

5.00What a fantastic morning adventure. Our guide khanh was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable! Watching the clouds spill over the mountainside was truly an exceptional way to see the morning near Dalat.

5.00We had an amazing experience hiking with Khanh as our guide! He was patient in pacing the group throughout the hike, and knowledgeable about nature and the history of Da Lat. He and his team also took beautiful shots of us (and provided photography tips) during the sunrise. He shared a list of recommended places to visit around Da Lat, brought us to eat local breakfast, and even accompanied us to a recommended coffee shop. Highly recommend him as a guide—thank you for such a great experience! It was the best part of our Dalat trip :)
Brilliant and extraordinary experience

A Different Side of Da Lat

5.00Our cloud-hunting trip in Da Lat was truly memorable. The early morning mountain hike was tiring, but reaching the summit revealed a dreamy sea of clouds and the magical “sunrise sandwich” view – a moment that made it all worthwhile. Khanh and his team were the highlight of the journey. Warm, caring, and fun, they supported us throughout, making the hike feel easy and enjoyable. We were also lucky to experience seasonal mushroom picking, guided by Khanh’s knowledge. Everyone brought home over 1kg of fresh mushrooms – a lovely gift from nature. A short adventure, yet full of laughter, beauty, and unforgettable memories.
on time pick up, fun hike upon the hill, great detailed information, amazing pictures, delicious food

5.00Khanh and his team was excellent during the tour. All 6 of us agreed that it was one of the best tours we’ve ever been on — so unique, so genuine, so exciting! Khanh radiates passion and love for what he does, sharing with us something so close to his heart so generously. We were amazed to learn that he has done this tour for 12 years and even created the path up the mountain that we walked — we were very heartened to hear this :) We learnt so much from the tour — from how clouds move, to weather patterns, to foraging amongst others. It was incredible! Highly recommend this tour to everyone who comes to Da Lat, it’s an experience you won’t get elsewhere. Thank you Khanh for being so genuine in sharing with us!
AMAZING and UNFORGETTABLE! Highly recommend

5.00Khanh and his 3 friends were the most knowledgeable, engaging, encouraging, and kind tour guides. Khanh’s enthusiasm and passion for the history and land of Da Lat city truly shined through and made the tour incredibly enjoyable, enriching, and even life-changing! I would highly highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an unforgettable and beyond excellent experience in Da Lat, to truly understand the city and experience a life-changing sunrise during their time here!!
Phenomenal experience!!

5.00This was such an amazing experience that far exceeded my expectations!! Nguyen was a fantastic guide and he did a great job of capturing photos of me. The pictures are fantastic, though they don't do full justice to the phenomenal views! Totally worth the early wake up and short but intense hike. Highly recommend!!
