Canyoning
In addition to the adventure described above, visitors to the Datanla waterfall can participate in a Canyon tour, which includes a variety of difficulties. You will be attending a professional training course that will be outfitted with international support equipment.
There are six intriguing difficulties in this game.
- The first task is an 18-meter cliff abseil.
- The second challenge is to zipline down the fall to the river.
- The third challenge is to slide water down a 3-meter-long waterfall.
- The fourth challenge is to go canyoneering with a 20-meter waterfall (highest waterfall)
- The fifth task is to jump freely from a height of 12 meters.
- The sixth task is the "washing machine" climax: waterfall abseiling.
The zipline across the waterfall is the most exciting of these tasks. You must train a lot for this game so that make sure your hand is strong enough to handle the weight of your entire body. You will begin by practicing easy exercises such as climbing with low-level strings. When you are more confident, you can go to the upper level and enjoy discovering Dalat in your own unique style.
