Peaceful and well-paced.

“If you’re expecting fancy hotels and five-star meals, this tour isn’t for you. But if you want real nature, open skies, and stories told around a fire, you’ll love it. The visit to the Coffee Museum on the last day was surprisingly cool, modern and stylish, with lots of details I didn’t know about Vietnam’s coffee culture.”

Unexpectedly refreshing!

“I’ve traveled through Vietnam before but never made it to the Central Highlands. This short tour felt like I discovered a whole new layer of the country. The nature was calm and untouched, and our guide was really passionate about the area. Camping was basic but clean, and falling asleep to the sound of the river was just lovely.”

Good mix of outdoors and culture!

“This tour had a nice balance. The forest walks were relaxing and I actually enjoyed the camping. I wasn’t expecting to learn so much about Vietnam’s coffee industry either. The museum visit really added depth to the trip.”

Ethical and meaningful!

“I loved that the tour respected nature: no elephant rides, just observation and stories about conservation. The visit to the elephant hunter's stilt house was eye-opening, not staged at all. Asia Links Travel did a good job keeping things real and respectful.”

Short tour, long-lasting memory!

(5.0)
“Three days doesn’t sound like much, but this tour was packed in the best way. The first night camping was a highlight, the location near the Serepok River was quiet and beautiful. I enjoyed the walk through Yok Don and learning about the elephants. The coffee museum was way cooler than I expected modern, stylish, and really informative.”

“I’ve done Halong Bay, Sapa, the usual tourist spots, this felt nothing like those. Yok Don was quiet, green, and refreshing. Camping by the river was a bit outside my comfort zone, but I ended up loving it. Waking up to birds and river sounds felt like hitting a reset button.”

Short but surprisingly rich in experience

(5.0)
“I booked this tour kind of last minute while staying in Da Lat, thinking it would be a simple side trip before flying out of Buon Ma Thuot. It turned out to be one of my favorite parts of Vietnam. In just three days, we saw wild elephants in Yok Don National Park, camped by the Serepok River in a surprisingly beautiful, remote aree and explored the cultural history of Buon Don village. It’s not a luxury experience, but everything felt very raw and real. I especially appreciated that nothing felt rushed, even though it was a short tour. And if you're into coffee, Day 3 will be your heaven. I didn't know Vietnam had such a deep coffee culture visiting the Coffee Museum really opened my eyes.”
