Fansipan Peak One Day Trek with Local Guide
Full description
This is a experience in Sapa. It is run by SaPa Native Tours, 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 guide, lunch meal, Hoang lien national park entrance fee, 1,5 liter bottle water and Transport. It does not cover Optional Cable car, Expenses incurred, Tips and NOTE: After you have booked the tour, 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.
SaPa Native Tours 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 SaPa Native Tours before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Binh was an amazing guide. Even though we were absolute beginners in hiking. Binh was very patient and tried his best to let us have a great time during the hike. Turns out the 2 of us and Binh were in the same age group so it was just a vibe. Would love to reattempt this climb again on another day when we are more experienced. Hopefully faith would bring both Binh and us together again to conquer fansipan once more.
The hike to Fansipan was challenging, but absolutely worth it. Our guide was amazing very patient, friendly, and always adjusted the pace to suit our group. Along the way, we stopped for a delicious bowl of traditional Vietnamese pho, which was a great break during the climb. The guide also shared interesting information about the local vegetation and showed us plants growing in the area, including cardamom. He was always happy to help, took plenty of photos for us, and never rushed anyone. As someone who loves taking pictures, I really appreciated his patience and kindness. Overall, it was a
The hike to Fansipan was amazing. Sun and Du were amazing guides - very kind. The hike definetely requires some level of fitness, but the views and experience is totally worth it. I choosed to hike both up and down, and had the best day. We also had a really nice group, which made the hike even better.
Had a great day with Sun and even though there were not many views because of the clouds it was fun.
Binh was a patient and kind tour guide. Carried snacks and our lunch and went ahead and made lunch for us so it was ready when we got to camp. We were quite slow (took 8.5 hours to get to the top) though it was raining— he was patient all the way and explained some things along the way. Recommend for people who love hiking! The views were not available to us due to weather but the journey was beautiful and when we went not many people, so many times felt like we had the whole forest to ourselves :). I think most average fitness can do this. We were out of shape for hiking but generally kept fi
The hike was truly beautiful. As you climb higher, you slowly walk into the clouds until everything around you is wrapped in soft mist - it feels almost magical. It was an incredible experience. Our guide was wonderful and spoke very good English, which made it easy to ask questions. He shared many interesting stories about the local culture, making the journey even more meaningful. The food was also very good.
An interesting challenge, the guides were kind. I recommend it if you are in good shape ;)
The one-day Fansipan trek was one of my highlights of Vietnam so far. The views are absolutely stunning (thankfully we had great weather) and the trek itself was very enjoyable but challenging - it took us about 9 hours to reach the top and go back down. All facilitated by our friendly and cheerful guide Bihn who carried and prepared lunch for the group at 2800m high. Thanks!!
Mama May is an absolute gem. I had amazing type B fun trekking up and down Fansipan. The views were stellar, Mama May kept the energy and motivation fun even during the strenuous parts, and lunch and snacks were delicious. Thank you for the best adventure. It was incredible.
Fantastic trek up to the summit of Fansipan. Our guide Bing was very friendly, gave great insight to mountain plants and looked after us all the way. Thanks Bing!!
The whole experience was great but Bao our guide was especially brilliant he was so helpful and gave me solid technique's to climb and go down the mountain. Bao gave out snacks to everyone in the group and made sure everyone was okay. overall a brilliant experience the man (Boa) needs a pay rise as well brilliant guy. 👍👍👍
The trip was so much fun, Took us around 11 hours including lunch time, to climb up and down was honestly super challenging physically for me but was so so worth it , The hike through and up to fansipan then also the hike down the mountain was super beautiful, in which I took lots of pictures. I Highly recommend booking this guide , he’s super friendly and knowledgeable, speaks great English, and I personally would book again.
