Entrance fee and opening hours

There's no official price list. According to Local Vietnam, entry is now sold only as a combo ticket — there's no longer a waterfall-only ticket — and the price has changed several times depending on what's included: unofficially 110,000–250,000 VND per person. VinWonders and Vinpearl still list older prices of 50,000 VND and 220,000 VND for the complex.

It's open daily, roughly 7:00–17:00 (some sources say from 7:30). Pay in cash in dong, and ask at the desk exactly what your ticket covers before you buy.

What is Prenn Falls?

Prenn Falls (Thác Prenn) sits at the foot of the Prenn Pass on highway QL20, at Da Lat's southern gateway. Water falls in a wide curtain from a basalt ledge into a small valley among the pines. Sources disagree on its height: Vietnamese Wikipedia says over 20 m, Local Vietnam about 9 m with a width of around 20 m. The name, according to K'Ho tradition, comes from "Prềnh", a bitter wild eggplant that still grows along the stream.

The highlight is the path behind the falls: a concrete walkway runs under a rock overhang, so you can stand behind the curtain of water and barely get wet. On the hill above are the Au Lac temples, honouring the Hung Kings, the legendary ancestors of the Vietnamese. The whole site is now part of Tea Prenn Resort, with a garden, suspension bridge and man-made beach.

What to see

  • The water curtain — a wide fall over a basalt ledge in the pine forest.
  • The path behind the falls — stand behind the water under the rock overhang; the main reason to stop.
  • The Au Lac temples on the hill, dedicated to the Hung Kings and the Lac Long Quan and Au Co legend.
  • The garden and suspension bridge over the stream.
  • The man-made beach with a swimming area, if you fancy it.

More tips

  1. From Lam Vien Square it's 10–14 km south on highway QL20 over the Prenn Pass — 20–25 minutes by Grab or taxi. Search for "Thác Prenn".
  2. From Lien Khuong Airport (DLI) the falls are on the way into town, at the foot of the pass — about 20–25 minutes by car.
  3. From Datanla Falls it's about 5 km further from town on the same road, 7–10 minutes by car.
  4. By scooter, ride south on QL20 and park at the resort entrance.
  5. Buy a combo ticket at the desk, walk through the garden to the falls and the path behind them; the temples are up the hill.

How long do you need, and when to go?

45 minutes to an hour covers the walk to the falls, the path behind the water and the garden; about an hour and a half with the hilltop temples.

The falls are fuller in the rainy season, roughly May to October, though the water is murkier then; in the dry season the flow is lighter. It's best as a stop on the way from the airport or after Datanla rather than a special trip from the centre.

Is Prenn Falls worth it?

Only on the way: if you're coming from the airport or already on the Prenn Pass, walking behind the water makes a pleasant half-hour stop.

The YesGo take: since the resort takeover the combo ticket is expensive for what's left, and many attractions are closed. If you have time for one waterfall near town, choose Datanla with its coaster; for a big waterfall, go to Pongour.

How to do it right

  • Walk the path behind the water — the best shot of the falls is from inside, through the curtain.
  • Bring a light rain jacket: there's spray on the path behind the falls.
  • Before buying the combo, ask whether everything it includes is open today.
  • Coming from the airport? Ask your driver for a half-hour stop at Prenn.
  • Closer to town on the same road is Datanla Falls, with its coasters.

How we checkedThe park has no official website or price list, so entry, hours and the status of attractions are marked unofficial. The Tea Prenn Resort takeover, combo-only tickets (110,000–250,000 VND, unofficially) and the closure of the cable car, zoo and rides are reported by Local Vietnam (05.2026); we found no second independent confirmation, so we present it as that guide's report. Older prices (50,000 and 220,000 VND) from VinWonders, Vinpearl and MIA.vn are flagged as outdated. Hours: 7:00–17:00 per Local Vietnam, 7:30–17:00 per VinWonders. Height: over 20 m per Wikipedia, about 9 m per Local Vietnam; we show both. Distance from the centre: about 10 km per Wikipedia, 14.2 km on an OSRM route; we say 10–14 km.
