Full description
This is a 7-hour experience in Sapa. It is run by Trekking Fansipan In A Day, 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 live guide in French, Entry fees to villages, lunch, Supply of drinking water during the hike and Return transport to Sapa Town after the day trip. It does not cover Personal travel insurance, Extra drinks during the hike, Personal expenses and Gratuities for the guide, 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.
Trekking Fansipan In A Day 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 Trekking Fansipan In A Day 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
Notre guide Ho a été très bien. C'était un plaisir d'échanger avec lui sur les coutumes et la vie locale. Guide vraiment très sympathique. La balade n'est pas trop difficile dans l'ensemble et nous avons bien apprécié le repas du déjeuner.
Excellente balade avec Phung qui nous a fait découvrir sa région, les traditions locales et un excellent repas chez l’habitant dans un environnement exceptionnel. Phung s’exprime en français et il est très attachant. 👌
