Full description

This is a 2-day experience in Hanoi. It is run by SST Travel, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.

The price covers Round-trip transfer by air-conditioned vehicle from Hanoi, local guide, 2 days of guided trekking through valleys, 1-night accommodation and Experience cycling through villages. It does not cover Personal expenses, Tips and gratuities, Drinks and Holiday surcharge applies, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

SST Travel sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with SST Travel before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Loved the cycle around Mai Chau, and the cave in Pu Luong was breathtaking. Everyone organising the tour was so friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend two days, as the travel there/back is around 4ish hours.

Excursion sympathique dans un bel endroit, mais avec peu d’activités, seulement une balade à vélo de 2h le premier jour, elle se termine à 15h et après plus rien. Le 2nd jour une randonnée le matin de 2h, fin à midi, repas puis 2h30 à attendre le bus du départ

Les sorties étaient super. Notre guide (je ne veux pas mal écrire son prénom) était parfaite. Vous allez passer du temps entre les rizières que se soit à pieds ou à vélo. Soyez prêt à avoir du temps libre entre les activités et le transport. C’était bien pour se reposer un peu. Nous avons pris l’option bungalow, et c’est le seul bémol. Le logement dans lequel nous avons passé notre nuit et un peu de temps libre est vieillissant et peu entretenu. Il était cependant très bien placé et la vue sur les rizières étaient magnifiques.

Most day treks are 10 to 15 km on village paths, steep and muddy after rain, done in trainers or light boots. Local Hmong or Dao women guide and set an easy pace.
