It's quite a walk/climb down to the base of the falls but well worth it. More

Of all the water falls accessible without canyoning this is the most natural. i.e it doesn't have a theme park built round it. But it's not the best and even a little dirty, not sure what the entrance fee goes towards as there is rubbish everywhere. Accessing the waterfall is a little sloppy with little in the way of hand...

Nice place to have lunch at the base of the waterfall. Don't think it's great for swimming though. Took some nice pictures. No need for a tour guide though slightly difficult to find as we didn't have a propper map. About 45minutes from Dalat. 5,000dong each. Take a right before the 2nd bridge of the village. (may make sense to... More

The Elephant Falls are very nice, no very far from Dalat. But the access is not easy, so it is only recommend to people with above average agility. There is also a very nice pagoda, just beside the falls, with a giant happy buddha and nice gardens. More

It is a bit of a climb to reach these falls. Once you reach the falls, make sure to travel a little further and go behind the falls. What a RUSH! Very cool... More

This is one of the less touristy place in Dalat, so it still preserved its natural beauty. You actually climb down the waterfall. On the left , pass a big tree root was a cave, and once inside, you are behind the veil of water. Exiting the cave, if you continue to climb down all the way to the bottom... More

Well worth a visit but only suitable for reasonably fit and agile people. The climb down to the falls is quite challenging as there are no handrails and footholds are sometimes hard to find. Having said that, I am almost 60 and I managed to do it with a bit of help and so glad I did. The cave behind... More

I would recommend making Elephant Falls (and nearby pagoda) a stop on a Dalat countryside tour, but I would not make it a priority to see if you have limited time in Dalat. It's a nice waterfall, but the only real way to see it is to make the climb down and as others have mentioned it can become slippery... More

The waterfall looks great, especially if you take the slippery 'path' down... As oer the title take some good hiking shoes. It will make the hike easier! The waterfall itsrlf is large but not as extreme as you may find in other parts of the world, but as its very close to a silk factory and cricket farm its worth... More
