Mai Chau and Pu Luong 2-Day Trek and Local Life
Full description
This is a 2-day experience from Hanoi, built around Limousine, Mai Châu and Pu Luong. It is run by Divi 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.
Pickup is offered from Hanoi Opera House and Old Quarter; the exact spot and time are agreed with Divi Travel. once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.
The price covers A Balcony Private Room at Home stay, Eco Loge or Eco Resort, Local guide in Mai Chau and Pu Luong, Limousine/ Minivan transfer round-trip, All entrance fees and All activities: cycling. It does not cover Solo Traveler Surcharge: Homestay: $20 extra, Eco Lodge, Option 4, Personal expenses and Travel insurance, 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.
Divi 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 Divi Travel. before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
This was a great way to escape city life for 2 days and experience a much more local and quiet environment that not many tourists know about! Wendy was a great help organising the tour and checked in on me multiple times during the tour to make sure everything ran smoothly! Vins was an amazing and engaging tour guide on the first day who took the bicycle tour slow so that we didn’t get too worn out in the heat and Hoang on the second day was very knowledge and happy to answer all our questions! The food was delicious and the home stay was comfortable!
Wonderful trip to Mai Chau and Pu Luong. Guides on both days were excellent and had great knowledge of the area and were very enthusiastic and helpful.Especially enjoyed the raft ride with lunch which was excellent and dancing with the locals over the bamboo canes.We were lucky enough to visit the local market (Thursday) and meeting locals and going into there houses was another highlight. Stayed at the Amigo hotel which was stunning and so wished I was staying a 2nd night. Hope to go back in the future. Highly recommend this trip.
The place we stayed at was great – clean, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Our guide, Tiep, was also fantastic. He was friendly, easy to talk to, and made the trip much more enjoyable with his positive energy and helpful attitude.
Fantastic escape from the hustle of Hanoi for two days. Very peaceful, beautiful landscapes, and a great alternative that is closer than Sa Pa or Ha Giang if you don’t have as much time. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time on this tour! The local guides were clearly very well-prepared and provided a wealth of interesting information that we never would have discovered on our own. A special shout-out to Hieu, who truly made our tour unforgettable. If you get the chance to book this, ask for Hieu—he goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. Highly recommended!
Our guide Hoang was very caring and guided us with great enthusiasm throughout the tour. He always made sure everything was well organized and that we were comfortable. His dedication really made a difference in our experience. We were also touched by how friendly and hospitable the local people were. It created such a warm and pleasant atmosphere during the trip. My whole family really enjoyed this journey.
Educational, fun and well paced with excellent Tourguide’s on both days!
Deze tweedaagse trip bood veel afwisseling. gelukkig ik had prachtige dagen. De gids, Mia, die alles vanuit Hanoi regelde, heeft dit perfect gedaan. Vervoer van en naar, sloot perfect aan.De gidsen ter plekke waren aardig en behulpzaam. De up-grade die ik deed, van homestay naar hotel met uitzicht, was het meer dan waard.
Hu'o'ng é stata bravissima e davvero capace di farci apprezzare tante piccole cose che sarebbero passate inosservate altrimenti. Un'esperienza di valore.
Tour molto bello e ben organizzato, Mia ci é sempre stata in contatto con noi per qualsiasi evenienza con grande gentilezza e professionalità. Assolutamente consigliato.
The tour was amazing. The guides were super kind, the food was extra good and the hôtel was incredible. It would recommend this experience to all my friends
Det var en fin tur, hvor man kom ud af Hanoi og set noget virkeligt smukt natur! Vi var rigtig glade for turen, men man skal være okay med, at programmet ikke følges så nøjagtigt, som der beskrives. F.eks så man ikke et silkeværksted, men et sted, hvor man arbejder med bomuld. Vandreturen var langs en vej og nok kun 1 km, men jeg ved ikke, om det var fordi, det var low-season, at der ændres i programmet. Vi havde også forskellige guider de forskellige dage. På den anden side er det også tydeligt at mærke, det ikke bare er en maskine, man skal igennem. Overnatingen var virkelig god! Vi havde op
