Culture01408276584"Nous avons eu pour guide Do durant deux jours. Il nous a fait découvrir une ferme de cacao, une autre de café, nous avons fait du vélo à travers les rizières, fait du rafting, visité un musée, fait connaissance avec un éléphant, dormi dans une maison de l'ethnie EDE... deux jours remplis de toutes sortes d'aventures et tout cela accompagné par toutes les connaissances et savoirs que Do a partagé avec tant d'enthousiasme et dans un français parfait. Deux jours incroyables où nous avons tous pu en apprendre plus sur la culture vietnamienne et sur cette belle région des hauts-plateaux. Toutes les générations ont apprécié: enfants, petits-enfants et grands-parents! Découvrir la région dans ces conditions était juste optimal!"
Thùy Anh"Nous étions hésitants à faire appel à une agence... mais allez-y les yeux fermés! Les deux jours passés en compagnie de Do (guide francophone) ont été très bien organisés et nous ont permis d'expérimenter un Vietnam très authentique. Sans aucun doute le point fort de notre séjour au Vietnam! Les activités étaient diversifiées et ont plu aussi bien aux enfants, qu'aux grands-parents et aux adultes! Mille mercis pour cette magnifique découverte. Do a été un guide hors pair, attentionné, à notre écoute, fascinant à écouter et doté d'un bon sens de l'humour :-)."
Tatoo79"We had nice family trip with our terrific guide Nghiem. Her English was excellent and she customized our trip as we went by stopping at various agricultural areas. Good cultural tour with a beautiful waterfall as an added bonus."
paul"We had a tour with Hạ which we actually had to delay by a day, but he was very flexible and agreed to change the date for us (thank you!). Hạ was very informative and great fun to be with for the full day. We also added in a tour of a sustainable coffee farm which was a real highlight of our whole trip - Hạ went the extra mile to make sure we had a great tour. The bike riding, rafting and falls were great experiences too"
Leon"Super expérience avec guide et chauffeur pendant 4 jours.C'était génial, hors des sentiers battus !!! Guide francophone tres compétent et responsable de l'agence qui nous a préparé un circuit à la carte !!!On a adoré tout a été parfait !!!"
Véronique R"Do est un guide formidable , il connaît la région du Dak Lak comme sa poche et nous a fait découvrir les hauts plateaux , les villages, les cultures de café , de poivre, de noix de cajou , les rizières et la récolte de latex et les chutes magnifiques dans une nature luxuriante. Très à l’écoute des touristes il sait parfaitement doser les efforts et choisit les activités avec soin ."
MoniQueFontaine"Puntual, profesional, seguro, educativo y tal como el título lo dice “la mejor experiencia vivida” en nuestros 6 semanas de viaje por Vietnam.Nuestro guía el señor Ha, es de los pocos que se nota hace su trabajo desde el corazón. El tour es una mezcla interesante y súper educativa, no solo por la maravillosa experiencia vivida con los elefantes. Sino también el paseo en tractor, la visita a la comunidad MNong para observar la elaboración de cerámica y visitar al campo de arroz. Y la enriquecedora experiencia culinaria con nuestro almuerzo y postre. Un tour para nunca olvidar, recomendado."
Paola Andrea C"We booked a tour with Ha for 2 days and a half and it was fantastic.Very good communication before the trip. Ha adapted the tour to our wishes and budget.He is very friendly, knows a lot about coffee, the minorities around Buon Ma Thuot,...We will keep these days in our memories for ever."
c d"I found it easy to book on the Yok Don national Park website. It was particularly helpful because as soon as I made the booking online I got a WhatsApp message from Gioi, a person who works at the national park he, was available to answer all my questions and it was easy to use WhatsApp. Gioi was very helpful because he told me about the bus timetable from Nha Trang to Buon Ma Thuot. Then he arranged to pick me up in his car from Bowen Masoud to the National park. I did not pay in advance. I paid at the National park in VND. It is important to bring VND because the national park does not accept cards and there is no ATM nearby. When Gioi collected me in his car, he hopefully took me to an ATM en route.The accommodation is comfortable and it has suited me very well. I have had an ensuite room with air conditioning. The food has been lovely and they have coped well for me being vegetarian. The actual elephant experience was truly amazing. It was moving to see these elephants in their own environment. Each elephant has their own mahout who ensures they are safe and protected. It was lovely to see the special relationship between the elephant and their mahout. The guide was very informative. I felt safe at all times. I spent four nights at the National park. As well as the full day elephant Tour I also completed the birdwatching tour, the trekking tour and a boat trip. the birdwatching tour was incredible. I had a very experienced guide and we saw a good range of birds. The guide had a good camera and took some excellent photographs which she shared with me on WhatsApp. I also learnt a lot about the local tribe culture here in the central Highlands of Vietnam. Everyone in the national park has been very helpful. I have felt very welcome and uncomfortable here. I also think it is very good value for money."
Jennifer B"Very good experience. A day with our guide Mr. Chinh so kind, pleasant and competent in all his explanations about coffee, pepper, cocoa and rubber crops and the region.I highly recommend it for your next visits to Buon Ma Thuot."
Pascale D"We asked Ha to guide our group of friends around the Yok Don National park where we spent a couple of hours with elephants and had boat on the park river. On the way back he took us to a cocoa farm where he showed us how chocolate is made and organised a tasting of different chocolate drinks. Rating 10/10"
eva k"Great walks through small villages, great welcome, excellent tables and above all a great guide speaking impeccable French who shared his culture"
Michel P"We had a wonderful and unique experience visiting lak lake and experiencing a few hours walking, feeding and bathing the elephant Sen. A drive on a tractor to meet him on the mountain where he lives. Ha and the elephant owner and the tractor driver made this experience special, Sen is very loved and well cared for.All up a great day"
Carmella D"Natural factors such as weather, terrain,... and care processes have helped coffee become a specialty of Buon Ma Thuot City. Each pure Buon Ma Thuot coffee bean goes through a careful care, harvesting, and selection process. Combined with proper processing and roasting methods and techniques to create unique specialties of Buon Ma Thuot.Buon Ma Thuot coffee specialties are created by the people living here. Coffee farmers in Buon Ma Thuot are always dedicated to their profession, constantly learning to develop and bring the best, most quintessential coffee beans.On the other hand, natural factors such as rich soil, suitable climate, humidity, temperature, and rainfall are very suitable for growing coffee. Groundwater and sufficient water sources combined with basalt red soil provide nutrients to make Buon Ma Thuot specialty coffee beans rich and naturally delicious."
Primrose"My girlfriend and I spent a week in Buôn Ma Thuột in March. We wanted to do an animal-friendly elephant tour and found the agency on the Internet. After contacting them by email, Mr. Ha planned a great, individual 1-day tour for us according to our wishes. All of the questions we had beforehand were answered in detail. The replies to our emails were always super quick. On the day of the tour, Mr. Ha picked us up early from our hotel by car. On the way to Lak Lake, Mr. Ha gave us a lot of interesting information about elephants, the Đắk Lắk province and its inhabitants, especially about the many ethnic minorities. After a short coffee break, we reached the village of Liên Sơn. From there we drove by tractor past rice fields to the mountain where the elephant lives. We were also lucky that the coffee was in bloom. It smelled of jasmine. After a short walk uphill, the elephant and its owner came towards us. It was a very special moment to come face to face with the elephant. We fed the elephant bananas. Afterwards we splashed around with him in the river. It was so incredible. We always had the feeling that the elephant was doing well. The owner, a young Mnong man, loves his elephant and treats him well. We hope that other elephant owners follow his example and stop letting tourists ride their elephants. The tourists are responsible. Only if they understand this and book such animal-friendly tours can the situation for the elephants and the people improve. Step by step. After this special experience, we visited a traditional pottery of the M'Nong people. For lunch we tried Nem Nuong. Very tasty. This great tour ended with a visit to a cocoa plantation. There we drank a smoothie made from the cocoa pulp. Very sweet and tasty. We really enjoyed the tour and took the great experiences with us. We definitely want to visit Đắk Lắk province again and book another tour. Thank you very much Mr. Ha for this great tour and day."
Thorsten"We had a wonderful day with Ha around BMT. We learned a lot about coffee and it‘s history in Vietnam. But furthermore after a few weeks at certain places in Vietnam with Ha we found the best english speaking and educated person which was motivated to answer all questions that helped us more to understand this wonderful country and its people. Thank you again !!"
maremi0815"We booked a private tour with an elephant. First of all, I would like to mention that I was specifically looking for a tour where you do NOT strap a saddle onto the animal to ride it. I always had the feeling that the animal was doing very well. So now to my report:In the morning, we were picked up on time by Mr. Ha. The trip was very interesting because he told us a lot of information about the country, the people and of course the elephants. When we reached the first stop by car, we drove further into the country by tractor. This trip was also an adventure. It went through villages and rice fields. When we arrived at the place, there was a short walk through the forest ahead of us. We went looking for the elephant. After about 10 minutes, he was there. It was a breathtaking and very emotional moment for us. It was my childhood dream that was now coming true. We were literally speechless. It was just magical, hard to describe in words. After a short introduction, the ice was broken. We fed and stroked him. He really enjoyed it 🤗.Then we went back to our tractor, which drove us to the water.The elephant herder also rode towards the water and was already waiting for us there.Still amazed, we got into the water with our clothes on and were able to spend an unforgettable time with the elephant. He also got bananas, including a wash and scrubbing session. He really enjoyed it.We would do this tour again and again and can highly recommend it.Thank you again for the great organization and the unique experience."
Heike"So much could be said about this amazing tour, highly recommend it for those who seek a bit of adventure and/or want to go off the beaten track. My partner and I had accidentally slept in and did not have breakfast beforehand. Punctual as ever, Duc (tour guide) and Nhat (driver) were more than happy to accomodate to us by asking what we’d like to eat and stopping at a local eatery for us to enjoy (cheap and authentic) food and coffee. Duc used this opportunity to get to know us and our interest and warmly briefed us on the day ahead. I found this tour to be the perfect balance between hands on activities, relishing in the natural landscape and learning about the local people. The itinerary is faultless as it gave us a real and varied experience of Buon Ma Thuot. It was only heightened further by the warm and inviting personality of Duc and Nhat. Knowledgeable and passionate, this tour is perfect if you are growing tired of tourist traps and wish to truly immerse in an authentic Vietnamese experience. If you ever find yourself in Buon Ma Thuot you must give this tour a go, such good value for your money as the memories we made were priceless."
Tiffany D"Me and my friends went to Buon Ma Thuot and didn’t have a plan for the national park. We called the company and they were able to put a GREAT tour together for the next day. It was an amazing exercise and we were able to do everything we wanted to do plus more. I highly recommend this company for tours."
Taylor L"We had one of our best experiences in Vietnam, and we were here for a month, with Duc Le who started and directs CHD Travel Co. Ltd. He offers a Marvelous Coffee Tour in the Buon Ma Thout area which is a major producer of coffee and high quality coffee for export. He is knowledgeable, experienced, fluent in English and able to carry on conversations on a number of depths, kind, aware, calming, flexible and has strong relations in his community with farmers and academics. Our tour included the coffee museum where we got a solid background on the history of coffee, an Ede community cafe where we learned the fine art of brewing and drinking robusta coffee and having a conversation along with drinking the coffee, a high quality producer of coffee on his farm where we walked the land touching and smelling and witnessed the sun drying and the setup for old fashioned and mechanical roasting, and a stroll down coffee street. Why you should hire him: It was a couple days before Tet when businesses close and we found that the farm was closed; because Duc has a good relationship with this producer, he called and was able to get us in even including a tasting of coffee-tea. A second reason to hire him: he is able to mobilize a whole team of guides and drivers which helped us immensely on another day when we were trying to get to the national park to see elephants. He had a car and driver lined up for us in minutes. Amazing!"
Feenixwest"After researching online we decided to book a coffee tour with CHD Travel which included pick up from Nha Trang, 2 nights in a hotel in Buon Ma Thuot and transfer to Dalat with stops at Lak Lake etc. Booking the tour was very straightforward and we were picked up from our Nha Trang hotel right on time.We were very fortunate to have Ha as our guide for the duration of this trip; his English was excellent and this allowed him to pass on his deep knowledge of the coffee industry together with general chat on more mundane and 'day to day' issues which we both found fascinating. We also found Ha to be very flexible so we could stop longer at places we really enjoyed and he took us to local restaurants that served dishes that we mentioned we really liked.In conclusion if you are heading to the Central Highlands we would have no hesitation in recommending CHD Travel (who are based Buon Ma Thuot) to plan your itinerary.Thanks again to Ha for making our tour so memorable!"
gary p"Coulter tour with the best gyed ever, he was supper smart and helped us with all the meny qreshtions we had about Vietnam, he was so nice and explained eny thing we liked to know. Amazing."

Go5765"We are very pleased with CHD Travel! We originally booked the Dry Sap Waterfalls and Buon Ma Thuot city tour but then asked to change our tour to the Lak Lake and M’Nong culture tour. CHD Travel allowed us to change our tour with no problem.On the day of our tour (today), our tour guide Anh Duc arrived promptly at 8am. He confirmed our tour a few days prior and provided a number that we could reach him at if we had any questions. Our driver was also great! He drove safely and the travel van/bus was very comfortable. Our tour guide, Anh Duc, was very knowledgeable. We not only learned a lot but we had so much fun as well! We asked Anh Duc many questions and he was so patient and kind with us. Anh Duc was flexible and allowed us to modify a few of our activities due to the age and physical stamina of our group. We appreciate that very much! We were very, very happy with our tour and we recommend CHD Travel, our tour guide and driver to anyone!! We hope to have the opportunity to book another tour with CHD Travel in the future and will definitely refer our friends back home to this company! :)Regards, Crystal H."
crystalbhemp2018"Perfect day trip around with Ha in old village and nature at Lak Lake.Take a swim with the elephant in the river. All kind people and Ha speaks perfectly English. Beauriful surroundings in the area. Very nice !!!Thanks Ha,Regards, Alex"
Alexvdheijden"Its not the elephant ride as impressive as you may believe. I had the same thought initially. However when you see the sunsine on the lake, the traditional wooden boats and the fishers you understand how magic is the nature there. Furthermore the visit of the village, the amazing guide and his information travell you to another world, another century. Ethnical minority that still lives in the same place with its animals, fishes with traditional ways, believe in the existence of multi«gods» and has a matriarchal structure as community. It is so rare to find such a real traditional and unique population, and at the same time such a great guide. (He was also kind and fair with money, I gave the half of the amount in usd and he calculated the currency, with the official currency!! First time I saw it in vietnam)Dont miss it. Even if the elephant part is a bit touristic, the whole experience is once in lifetime. Its like reading pages of national geographic!"
Manos D"Enthusiastic and thoughtful. Enthusiastic guide, deeply knowledgeable about the locality. Really good dining places, even just meals at the tour/restaurant for the tour. The sightseeing place can be flexible in our opinion and are explained in detail about the pros and cons of each location.QT hotel is new, clean, enthusiastic and beautiful, good food, cheap price compared to common ground."
thuydoan2202"We did a customized trip to the waterfalls and coffee places around the city. It was a nice trip and we learned a lot about the region with our tour guide - Mr. Le Van Duc. He speaks good English, was fast to reply to our queries and did a fair price. We recommend it!"
Mabmalia"Quick response, reasonable price. We had a great time with knowledgeable tour-guide. My kids really enjoyed the rowing boat and riding elephants. Highly recommended!"
Cassy N"I met Mr Le the owner of CHD travels while traveling through BMT on a motorcycle. Although I didn't take his tour but we spent the whole afternoon talking about everything under the sun as he spoke perfect English and he is also fluent in French as well. He is a very sincere and authentic man and I believe if you were to join him on a tour you will not regret it as BMT is not really touristy so you will get value for money tours and a authentic experience. Cheers, Yukai"
Lim Y"After scheming through agencies in Daklak on TripAdvisor, I contacted CHD as soon as I landed and we were arranged onto the next day's tour for a very good price. We spent the whole day seeing the national park, feeding elephants and visiting waterfalls also. Since CHD guides speaks excellent languages (English & French) it was absolutely helpful and easy to travel not just Buon Ma Thuot but the whole Vietnam (through there stories). Mr. Ha is one of the friendliest guys I've ever had the pleasure to meet! He made sure that we were well looked after and entertained us the whole day with his endless knowledge of Vietnam. At first we just wanted to try a tour with them but we were so happy that we booked the tour for the next day too! I would definitely recommend CHD Travel to anyone that wanted to explore this lovely central highlands of Vietnam - the vehicles were comfy, the sights were spectacular, the lunches were delicious and the company was excellent! I’m missing marvelous experiences with those guys."
Thao Q"As a traveler, it is very important for you to be able to get a grasp where you're going to fully experience the place. Since I never had the chance to visit the country before I had alot of inhibitions before I met Mr. Ha. Mr. Ha not only helped us to get wherever we need he is also a kind of person who will go beyond the limits of his offered service just to assure your comfort.Plus! you can always count on him for details even after his service. I must say, you'll never get wrong when you're never lost! So if you're in a hurry and wanted to experience Daklak, go find Mr. Ha and have your problems sorted out before they actually take place. :)Thank you Mr. Ha and CHD Travel. Btw, the van is always clean and on time. :)"
