Full description

This is a 6.5-hour experience in Sapa. It is run by Da Nang Happy Tour, 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 ethnic English-speaking guide, Entrance tickets and lunch. It does not cover Hotel transfer service, Drinks and Other expenses not mentioned, 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.

Da Nang Happy Tour 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 Da Nang Happy Tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Slow paced hike through the valley. Plenty of stops. A bit too many and too long for my taste, but others in the group were happy to sit and chill. I tracked around 10km walking altogether. Lunch for us was at a village restaurant rather than in a villagers home, which I actually preferred. The route was almost entirely down hill, with bus bringing us back to center of Sa Pa. That was maybe a 20 ish minute journey back. We had a large group so there was two guides. Both were friendly and knowledgeable. "Say" took our group and was a great guide. It was a very relaxed pace. I would have preferr

I went on a trekking tour today visiting a few villages, and honestly, what made the whole experience so special was our guide, A. From the very beginning, everything was well organized, but I wasn’t expecting the experience to be quite as memorable as it was. A made such a huge difference. She shared so much about her culture, her tribe, and everyday life, and she did it in such a warm and genuine way. It really felt like we were getting a glimpse into the local life rather than just doing a typical tourist trek. The scenery was absolutely beautiful , the rice fields were stunning, and we als

I really enjoyed this experience! Our guide, A, was a big part of what made it so enjoyable. She was incredibly kind, funny, and enthusiastic about sharing her Black Hmong culture. It was fascinating to learn more about this community way of life. And the views are so beautiful. One thing to note: because it was very rainy, the trek was extremely slippery, and I found some parts a bit dangerous.

Fantastic hike in the beautiful Sapa countryside. No bus or van ride needed as the hike starts directly from town. Excellent guide who actually lives in one of the villages we passed through and who had lots of interesting information to share.

Our guide, Vu was so knowledgeable about the culture, nature and was so chatty throughout the hike. We really enjoyed it and learnt so much from her. Food was great, the local villagers who followed us on the hike were very helpful too and made sure we did not slip and fall during the hike. 100% recommend you immerse yourself into the local culture with this day hike!

Our Sapa trekking experience was amazing, and our guide Mao was absolutely wonderful! She was knowledgeable, kind, patient, and made the trek so enjoyable. She showed us beautiful scenery and shared so much about the local culture and villages. We felt comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. Highly recommend Mao if you’re looking for an authentic and memorable Sapa trekking experience!
