Experience Buon Ma Thuot in Style – 2 Days Discovering Vietnam’s Coffee Capital & Highland Culture

  • CODE: GDT2793
  • Private Tour
  • Duration: 2 days
  • Price from: $495.00 Per Person (Group of )
  • Route: Vietnam - Buon Me Thuot

Overview

Known as the coffee capital of Vietnam, Buon Ma Thuot is a land where aroma, adventure, and authenticity blend in perfect harmony. This 2-day journey invites you to explore the raw beauty, rich culture, and warm-hearted spirit of the Central Highlands — a region where every corner tells a story and every experience awakens your senses.

From the moment you arrive, the air is filled with the rich scent of roasted coffee and the songs of highland nature. The city may appear calm, but beneath its peaceful rhythm lies a land full of wonders — towering waterfalls, vast coffee plantations, ethnic minority villages, and unspoiled countryside.

Your adventure begins with a visit to the Daklak Museum, where history, culture, and biodiversity come alive. Learn about the diverse ethnic groups that have called this region home for centuries — the Ede, M’nong, and Jarai — each preserving their unique customs and spiritual connections to nature.

Next, immerse yourself in the world of Vietnam’s legendary coffee. Visit a local civet coffee farm, stroll through endless rows of green coffee trees, and watch the traditional roasting process before enjoying a cup of Buon Ma Thuot’s signature brew — bold, earthy, and unforgettable.

After lunch, the journey continues to Dray Sap Waterfall, one of the Central Highlands’ most impressive natural wonders. Known as the Misty Fall in the Ede language, Dray Sap cascades from a 30-meter-high cliff, creating a veil of mist that dances in the sunlight. Walk through the cool forest trails, feel the spray of water on your face, and capture stunning photos of this wild paradise.

As the sun sets, you’ll visit Ako Dhong Village, home to the Ede people. Here, traditional longhouses stand proudly amid lush gardens, and the sound of bamboo flutes fills the evening air. Chat with locals, learn about matrilineal customs, and experience the warmth and simplicity of highland life — where hospitality is heartfelt and time seems to slow down.

The next morning, embark on a journey to Lak Lake, a serene oasis surrounded by mountains and forests. Ride a dugout canoe across the tranquil waters, watch fishermen at work, and see reflections of clouds drift gently across the surface. Visit Bao Dai King’s Villa, a relic of Vietnam’s royal past, offering breathtaking views of the lake and countryside below.

To complete your cultural immersion, join the M’nong ethnic community for a traditional gong performance, recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage. As the drums echo through the night and locals dance by the fire, you’ll feel the spirit of the highlands come alive — vibrant, soulful, and deeply human.

This 2-day Buon Ma Thuot tour is more than a sightseeing trip — it’s an emotional journey through Vietnam’s Central Highlands, where coffee meets culture, and nature meets the heart. Whether you’re a nature lover, culture seeker, or coffee enthusiast, Buon Ma Thuot will leave you inspired, relaxed, and longing to return.
