Da Lat to Cat Tien Easy Rider & Forest Tour – 2 Days — illustrated tour cover

Original illustrated cover artwork for this route; not a documentary photograph or a map.

Route overview

Da Lat → coffee-growing countryside → Bao Loc corridor → Cat Tien; finish at the park visitor area on Day 2.

Road riding takes place outside the park. Forest visits use the park’s permitted walking, cycling and authorised transport arrangements, not unrestricted motorcycle access to the core forest.

Tour highlights

A road journey with local stops

Leave Da Lat with your own Easy Rider rider-guide, with time for countryside views and selected coffee-growing stops along the agreed road route.

An evening close to the forest

Settle into your confirmed accommodation near the visitor area, with an optional park-operated night wildlife outing if booked and operating.

One day to explore on foot

Use Day 2 for the selected forest programme before finishing at Cat Tien, rather than rushing back to Da Lat.

Your day-by-day itinerary

Day 1 · Da Lat to Cat Tien

Meet your rider at the agreed Da Lat pickup point in the morning. Check luggage and helmet fit, then leave the city for a full travel day towards Cat Tien. Follow a suitable public-road route through coffee-growing countryside and the Bao Loc corridor, with lunch and rest stops. A waterfall stop can be discussed in advance, but is not automatically included if it would compromise arrival time. Reach the park entrance/visitor area in the afternoon, complete the required entry and crossing arrangements and check into the accommodation confirmed in your booking. If time permits, take an easy introductory walk near the visitor centre. In the evening, join a park-operated night wildlife outing only if reserved and available. Overnight: Cat Tien visitor area; the property and whether it is inside or outside the park must be specified in the quotation.

Day 2 · Forest exploration; finish at Cat Tien

After breakfast, follow the park programme selected for your group. For fit walkers, request a Bau Sau (Crocodile Lake) excursion with the required park transfer and forest walk; the walk is approximately 5 km each way after reaching the trail access point. Treat this as the main activity of the day. A shorter guided forest walk and permitted cycling near the visitor area can be an alternative for a lighter programme. Do not promise both options as automatic inclusions. Return to the visitor area, collect your luggage and finish at the agreed point in Cat Tien. This programme does not include a same-day return ride to Da Lat or an onward ride to Ho Chi Minh City. Any extra night or onward transfer must be arranged separately.

Booking, luggage & participation

Travel as a motorcycle passenger with your rider-guide. Self-riding can be requested separately and requires an appropriate valid motorcycle driving licence for riding in Vietnam and confirmation of the arrangement. Small luggage is normally secured behind the guest on the bike; send the size and weight before booking. Separate luggage delivery has an additional fee. The normal deposit is 30%, with online payment or cash accepted. Confirm the balance, cancellation and weather-change terms for this booking before payment.

Before entering the forest

Bring suitable closed walking shoes, long trousers, weather protection, insect protection, personal medication and drinking water as advised for your selected activity. Tell the team about mobility, fitness or other support needs before choosing Bau Sau. Routes can change with weather, trail access and park instructions. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Keep to permitted trails, do not feed or disturb animals and follow the park guide’s instructions.

Questions about this programme

Does this tour return to Da Lat?

No. It finishes in Cat Tien after the Day 2 park programme. Choose the 3-day return loop if you need to finish in Da Lat.

Can I do Bau Sau and return to Da Lat on Day 2?

That is not the programme offered here. Keeping the forest day separate from a long road journey gives the visit a more workable pace.
