The alpine coaster system at Datanla was the first of its kind installed in Vietnam.
The name 'Datanla' originates from the K'ho language, roughly translating to 'water under the leaves'.
The canyoning circuit at this site is one of the few locations in Vietnam that offers regulated abseiling training for beginners.
The waterfall's water flow is regulated by the upstream Tuyen Lam Lake dam.
The site includes a 'High Rope Course' with seven different levels of difficulty ranging from kids' circuits to black-diamond professional routes.
Khu du lịch Thác Datanla is an adventure-focused tourism site located along the Prenn Pass in Da Lat. The area features a multi-tiered waterfall accessible via a unique alpine coaster system that winds through the surrounding pine forest. Visitors can engage in high-rope obstacle courses, canyoning, and ziplining activities provided on-site. The site is divided into distinct zones, with the lower falls accessible by a cable car or the aforementioned coaster. The waterfall itself is situated in a deep valley, requiring descent from the parking area. It serves as a primary hub for adventure sports in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.
The mid-level viewing platform near the base of the coaster track provides a direct angle of the main falls.
Purchase the combined ticket for the alpine coaster and cable car to save time on the steep ascent back to the entrance.
Wear closed-toe athletic shoes rather than sandals, as they are mandatory for the high-rope courses and canyoning.
Visit on a weekday morning to avoid long queues for the coaster rides, which often peak during weekends.
Do not attempt to hike down the steep slopes outside of the marked trails, as the terrain is unstable and slippery.

Safety helmets and harnesses provided by the operators must be worn at all times during adventure activities; follow all instructor hand signals.
