Full description
This is a 6-hour experience in Sapa. It is run by Vietnam Nomadtrails, 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 Hotel pick-up, guide, Entry tickets, Lunch and Mineral water 500ml per person. It does not cover Beverages, Personal purchases, Soft drinks and Tips, 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.
Hotel pickup in Sapa. Vietnam Nomadtrails confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Vietnam Nomadtrails before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing experience in Sapa! One of the absolute highlights of our trip! The 13 km hike through the rice fields and mountains of Sapa was beautiful and unforgettable. A special thank you to our amazing local guides, Lê Huy and Phong Ly. They were both incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience feel very personal. Phong Ly taught us so much about the local culture and traditions, while Lê Huy captured many beautiful moments along the way. 📸 We didn’t just see the stunning nature of Sapa, but also visited a local home, learned about traditional clothing and indigo dyein

Lovely hike with our guide Mia, the was competent and very careful even if I'm pregnant 6 months she carried my backpack and made the group do extra stop to make me rest. The lunch was tasty and we had the chance to walk in the bamboo forest too! Highly recommend
We had a fabulous day with our guide, she was very informative about get culture and very helpful, it was a lovely experience the rice fields and the whole area are stunning, it was reasonably dry, went in April so we didn’t need trek just runners. It was a tough path a lot of downhill.
Was a really lovely tour, got to meet many locals and chat. the views are gorgeous and my guide, Mia aas the best! shes so kind and knowledgeable. Lunch was really yummy as well
Kau was a brilliant guide and we had the best day! They accommodated for my vegan diet, the help through the bamboo forest kept me upright lol and the people were wonderful. Thank you!
Chai was an amazing guide and even invited us into her family’s home for a local lunch during Tet. Our lunch break also helped break up the 7 mile trek! The hike itself was a bit slippery, but there were a lot of helping hands to make the journey easier. We had a great day!
it's an exciting trek through different terrain from slippery muddy to well paved paths. from bamboo forest to creeks cross. the guide Su is professional experience leader. She understands the trek a lot. She reminds us unstable rocks and cares for everyone's safety.
We had a great time. We really enjoyed the activity. Thanks a lot to our guide Khu, she was very friendly and we learned a lot of things.
Walking through Hmong villages and seeing how and where they live. And the landscapes I saw were certainly enchanting.
Sunny was very knowledgeable and friendly. Hike was fun and not very strenuous, perfect for if your feeling fragile after the loop. 100% recommend.
Had such an enjoyable day!! Our tour guide was great, we had such fun. It was a nice small group, the trek is slightly treacherous at points but it only adds to the experience. Bring cash because local ladies from the village helped us on our way and you are expected to buy something from them to say thank you. 10/10 day
