Than Tho Lake tours with best prices and high quality in 2026

Lake of Sighs (Ho Than Tho) is one of the most famous national scenic spots in Da Lat (Lam Dong), attracting thousands of visitors each year thanks to its poetic beauty, fresh air, and poignant, emotional love stories. The lake is located about 6–7 km east of the city center, making it convenient to visit during short day trips.

Instead of traveling on your own and arranging your own itinerary, joining a Lake of Sighs tour allows you to enjoy a hassle-free, convenient, and time-optimized trip. Tours are usually designed for half-day or 1-day itineraries, combining sightseeing, photo opportunities, historical commentary, and local culture exploration. Lake of Sighs dates back to 1917, constructed by the French under the name Lac des Soupirs (Lake of Sighs), initially serving to store domestic water for the city. In 1999, it was officially recognized as a national scenic spot. Covering an area of about 8.5–9 hectares, the lake is surrounded by vast green pine forests, creating a peaceful and extremely “photogenic” setting—an indispensable highlight in Da Lat tours.

Considered one of the most emotional destinations in Da Lat, Lake of Sighs is not merely a body of water, but a diverse experience complex where natural landscapes, cultural elements, and engaging recreational activities come together.

• Poetic natural scenery: Surrounded by pine forests, clear blue water, and winding dirt paths along the lake. Notably, the intertwined pair of pine trees resembling lovers is a romantic symbol frequently photographed by visitors.
• Two-Grave Pine Hill (Doi Thông Hai Mo): Located right by the lake, closely tied to a tragic love legend. This is an unmissable spot to listen to local tales and capture artistic photos amidst the pine forest.
• Horseback riding around the lake: A fun experience for families or couples.
• Pedal boating on the lake: A romantic and relaxing activity
• Strawberry and flower gardens: Pick fresh strawberries in a 3-hectare garden (seasonal), and check in with hydrangeas, roses, and many other flowers.
• Overnight camping: Spacious area suitable for team building or stargazing picnics (management permission required).
• Discover lake legends: Listen to romantic tales (Hoang Tung – Mai Nuong or the real-life story of Thao – Tam), bringing emotional depth to the trip.

With its harmonious blend of landscape, activities, and cultural elements, the Lake of Sighs tour is not just a sightseeing journey, but a relaxing, connecting experience that creates unforgettable memories in Da Lat.
