Full description

This is a 6-hour experience from Sapa, built around Muong Hoa Valley. It is run by SAPA GROUP 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.

Japanese craft classes are taught by practitioners who have usually done the craft for decades, and they teach it properly: calligraphy begins with how to hold the brush and grind the ink; pottery on the wheel produces a cup that is fired and posted to you weeks later; ikebana teaches the three-line structure of a Sogetsu or Ikenobo arrangement; indigo dyeing and washi papermaking are done in the workshops of the towns that specialise in them. Classes run one to three hours, materials are included, and most welcome children with a parent.

The price covers Included, local guide, Trekking through rice terraces and Hmong villages, Traditional cultural and craft experiences and Visit to a local Hmong family. It does not cover Excluded, Additional beverages, Personal expenses and Tips for guide and driver, 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.

Nhà Thờ Đá Sapa. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with SAPA GROUP TOUR before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Most day treks are 10 to 15 km on village paths, steep and muddy after rain, done in trainers or light boots. Local Hmong or Dao women guide and set an easy pace. Bring a rain jacket, a warm layer from November to March, cash for the villages, and a small bag; homestays provide mattresses, blankets and dinner. Leave the big luggage at your hotel in town.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
