Full description

This is a 6-hour experience in Sapa. It is run by Vietnam Vacations 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 Hotel pick-up & drop-off in Sapa town, All entrance fees for the local villages, Ethnic tourguide speaking English, Lunch with local foods and Trekking through the terrace fields. It does not cover All meals & beverages not specifically mentioned, Pick up and drop off outside Sapa town not included, Tips, Personal Expenses & those not clearly mentioned above 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.

Sa Pa. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Vietnam Vacations Travel before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Super mooie tocht. De gids kwam zelf uit een van de lokale dorpjes die we hebben bezocht, dus ze kon er veel over vertellen. De wandeling zelf is heel goed te doen. In het begin een beetje modderig, maar de lokale bevolking helpt je er doorheen. Verder gaat de wandeling vooral naar beneden. Met een busje wordt je via de weg omhoog weer naar het centrum van Sapa gebracht. Echt een aanrader!

SAPA TREKKING TOUR. SAPAのOne dayトレッキングツアーにて。 あいにくの雨でしたが、雨音が風景を包んで、山と空、山と大地の色彩が“にじむ”とてもとても美しい景色でした。 朝9時くらいから歩き始めてゴールはおよそ10km先の村。 泥だらけの山道を歩くのは決して楽ではなくて、むしろ転ぶ旅人たちもいましたが、それでも、ココに来るだけの価値はツアーの費用(だいたい3500円くらい)では足りないくらい。 もし、ベトナム・ハノイに旅に出る機会が4泊ある方はぜひプランを立ててみてください。生涯の記憶に残るのは間違いなしです。 #sapatrekking #vietnamtravel

An amazing tour! Beautiful sights and very nice to get to know the indigenous people better. We did go in the end of January where it had rained a bit so the steep mountainsides were VERY slippery. The guides were very nice and helpful in getting us down!! - just be advised that you may fall, may hurt yourself and most likely will get dirty😆

素晴らしい景色と棚田の中をモン族の女性のガイドさん一緒に巡る大変良いツアーだ。ただし健脚向き。下り坂の道がほとんどだが約12キロを3時間から4時間で歩くので、結構きつい! で1点減点。でも大変良いツアーだ
