The price includes round-trip transfer from your Nha Trang hotel, a Russian-speaking guide, lunch as per the programme, entrance tickets to all stops (Men's Tears and Datanla waterfalls, Faces of Love clay village, the zoo, Linh Phuoc Pagoda, Crazy House) and medical insurance. The only extra charge is a transfer from the Cam Ranh area — 30 USD per vehicle.
Only the transfer from the Cam Ranh area is charged separately — 30 USD per vehicle if your hotel is located there. We also recommend bringing cash for personal expenses (drinks, souvenirs, extra coffee tastings) and an optional tip for the guide.
The minivan picks you up from your hotel in Nha Trang around 07:30 in the morning — this transfer is included in the price. If your hotel is in the Cam Ranh area, that transfer costs 30 USD per vehicle extra. We confirm the exact time and pick-up point after booking.
The tour lasts about 12 hours: departure from Nha Trang around 07:30 and return around 19:30. This includes the drive to Da Lat over the mountain pass and back, lunch, visits to all programme stops and free time at the main attractions.
This is a group tour with up to 20 participants. Travel during the programme is by minivan, so the group stays compact and the guide can give attention to every traveller.
The tour is led by a professional Russian-speaking guide from Travel Island. All commentary, logistics and Q&A are in Russian.
Yes, the tour is family-friendly — kids especially enjoy the zoo stop. Children up to 100 cm tall travel free, children 100–140 cm pay the child rate, and children taller than 140 cm pay the adult rate.
The programme includes a mountain pass with panoramic views, Men's Tears waterfall, the Faces of Love clay village, Datanla waterfall, coffee plantations with a Vietnamese coffee tasting, the zoo, Linh Phuoc Pagoda decorated with porcelain and glass mosaic, and Crazy House — an unusual building with no straight lines. The order of stops may vary.
Da Lat sits in the mountains at around 1500 m, so it's noticeably cooler than the Nha Trang coast — especially in the morning and evening. Pack a warm sweater or windbreaker even if Nha Trang is hot. Fog on the mountain pass during the drive is also possible.
Yes, when visiting Linh Phuoc Pagoda your shoulders and knees must be covered — this is a temple requirement. Bring a long-sleeved cotton shirt, a sarong or light trousers/skirt to change into before entering.
Yes, lunch as per the programme is included in the tour price. Bring a packed breakfast (lunch box) since the departure is early. Drinks, extra snacks at cafés and any coffee tastings beyond the programme are paid separately.
Bring a packed breakfast (lunch box), water and drinks, sun protection (SPF 50+ cream, sunglasses, a hat), comfortable shoes, warm clothing (Da Lat is cooler than Nha Trang), a phone or camera, cash for personal expenses, and a photocopy of your passport (the first page and the page with the Vietnam visa/entry stamp). For Linh Phuoc Pagoda you'll need clothing that covers your shoulders and knees.
