Full description
This is a 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 trekking guide, Entrance permit, Lunch, Bottled water and Basic support during the trek. It does not cover Trekking shoes, Tips for guide, Cable car ticket and Gloves, 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
Not a large group, two guides who were very helpful and friendly. The pace was adapted to the slower ones, there was no rushing. The route itself is about 11km long and 1,500m up, so considering the altitude and conditions, it's quite demanding. There were stops along the way as needed, and one longer one for a meal at base camp. I highly recommend it. We received great T-shirts and a medal for reaching the summit.
Amazing adventure with Phuong. Sadly I cramped 2 hours in but he managed to help me drag myself to the top even though it took 7 hours!
I was struggling while hiking up. The guide saw it helped me to carry my backup. The guide also passionately helped us to take photos at the peak. Great service overall
The one-day trek in Sapa was amazing! Our guide was very friendly, helpful, and made sure the pace was comfortable for everyone in the group. He was also very attentive throughout the trek and made the whole experience enjoyable and relaxed. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Amazing walk up Fansipan thanks to Phung and the team. They did brilliant to get us all to the top despite it being a big group and a mixture of paces. Food was lovely too and a good morale boost
Great value for money and great trip up a pretty unforgiving hike. Phung was great and made us amazing banh mi in the mountain hut half way up. Would defo recommend although it is very tough. Someone on our tour got cramp and was so far behind the group with the second tour guide. When we descended Phung arranged a taxi for us as we were a little ahead of the group to take us back to Sapa. Five stars
Fantastic guide. Really friendly and knowledgeable. Frequent stops and provided good food
Phung was awesome. We had some dispersion of Speed in our group and he did great to handle this. Hike was fantastic, cable car down somewhat expensive
Absolutely awesome experience. Phung and Xu were great guides, speaking English and French exceptionally well. The pace was good and manageable and we reached the summit on time. I'm giving this Five Stars. Highly recommended.
phung the guide was phenominal with a lot of local expertise and great organisation with hiking permits lunch and transport. It is not necessarily an easy climb (5 hours and steep) but was highly enjoyable even through the monsoon but ensured we stayed dry and had sufficient breaks. phung also cooked a fabulous meal and coffee for us which was much needed before the final ascent. The cable car is an option if you are tired for the return journey and they do have contactless for the ticket for the trip back. Overall great experience and highly recommend for the price. Do not make the mistake of
We had a brilliant experience, and the guides went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the hike. Lunch was incredible, getting freshly cooked pho half way up the mountain, and they were super helpful over the trickier sections of trail. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!!
Best thing to do in Sapa, the hike was amazing with a great path but some challenges. Phung was an awesome guide who always helped out and knew a lot about the mountain and the area
