From Nha Trang’s coast to a night beside Lak Lake

Leave the coast for Buon Ma Thuot, then spend an afternoon on Lak Lake and in the M’Nông villages of Jun and M’Lieng. A night in a traditional stilt longhouse puts the lakeside stay at the heart of this two-day return trip from Nha Trang.

Send your dates and Nha Trang hotel so we can check the lakeside stay and transfers. Chat with us on WhatsApp · Email our travel team

Time on the lake and in the villages

From a dugout canoe you can see the lake from the water and look for local fishing activity. On shore, walk through the villages with your guide. The next morning, the museum and market in Buon Ma Thuot add context to what you saw by the lake.
