The group I was traveling with visited Elephant Falls on a beautiful day in Spring 2013. The view from below--and from behind--the falls is wonderful, but the climb down was a bit of an adventure. Half of our group turned back deciding it was not worth the effort. The climb is manageable for those who are fit and agile, but... More

We visited Elephant Falls as part of a motorcycle tour. The walk down is... a bit treacherous. The first part is OK, but after the second little bridge, things get a little tricky. This is not for the faint of heart. The trail splits as well and if you're not familiar with the place, you could easily end up going... More

Elephant Falls are beautiful but watch out! The path down the hill is really slippery and potentially very dangerous. I walked and climbed as far as i could down the path but I don't really think it was worth the effort for the sake of the view. The view was allright but not as good as i'd hoped. Maybe there's...

Because of the many positive reviews I saw here in trip advisor, I was convinced that Dalat must be really worth seeing. However, what commentators here didn't state is that you will need to trail down (and go down up) the water falls on a dangerous stairs Have I known this earlier, I definitely would not even think twice of...

You need to be agile and sure footed as the climb down is very steep and not well marked. Great views of the waterfall though and nice to go behind it and feel the spray.

Walking under the water falls was definitely the highlight. Glad it was the elephant walking the mud and not me haha. My husband especially enjoyed the bamboo swinging bridge.

It’s a beautiful waterfall and it has a nice pagoda right next to it, so you really get two sights in one. Beautiful views- especially from the cave below the falls.

These Falls are quite spectacular but just an accident waiting to happen. I did not go further down than the first part as there is no path to speak of and nothing much to hold onto. The way down was wet and very slippy and there were people going down there in flip flops, stilettos and carrying children....un believable!
