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. > **Prenn isn't what the old photos show** According to Local Vietnam (May 2026), since the park became part of Tea Prenn Resort the cable car over the falls, the mini-zoo, boats and animal rides have stopped, and parts of the site are closed or under construction. What remains is the waterfall with its path behind the water, the garden, the hilltop temples and a man-made beach. Old photos and guidebook prices are out of date — check what the combo includes before you pay. ## 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. ## How to get to Prenn Falls 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. ## Before you go: checklist - [ ] Stopping on the way from the airport or after Datanla - [ ] Cash in dong for the combo ticket - [ ] Asking at the desk what the ticket includes - [ ] Shoes with grip — it's wet by the falls - [ ] Remember: no cable car or zoo any more - [ ] Next stop planned — Datanla or Truc Lam Monastery ## Waterfalls and nature around Da Lat: compare and choose Waterfalls and lakes around Da Lat rated by YesGo. - [Xuan Huong Lake](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/da-lat/xuan-huong-lake) — YesGo score 43/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 1 h · Free - [Datanla Falls](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/da-lat/datanla-falls) — YesGo score 31/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 2 h · 80,000 VND; coaster extra - [Prenn Falls](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/da-lat/prenn-falls) — YesGo score 30/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 1 h · Combo about 110,000–250,000 VND - [Pongour Falls](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/da-lat/pongour-falls) — YesGo score 22/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 1 h 30 min · About 20,000 VND ## A morning on the Prenn Pass The cable car to Truc Lam Monastery, then Datanla Falls with its coaster, and Prenn Falls a little further down the road.

It's not Datanla or Pongour. News about roadworks on the Prenn Pass refers to the highway, not the waterfall. ## Tips - 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](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/da-lat/datanla-falls), with its coasters. ## Questions ### How much is the Prenn Falls entrance fee?
