Full description

This is a 2-day experience from Sapa, built around Bus/coach, Muong Hoa Valley and Ta Van. It is run by Sapa Pathfinder Travel, 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.

Pickup is offered from Noi Bai International Airport, Sa Pa and Old Quarter; the exact spot and time are agreed with Sapa Pathfinder Travel once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Transfer by shuttle to the bus office in Ha Noi, Single cabin night bus tickets from Ha Noi to Sapa and, Home stay sharing with the Dzay minority in Ta van village, tour guide and Transfer by shuttle to Sapa pathfinder office on arrival. It does not cover Personal expenses, Drinks, Travel insurance and Services not clearly mentioned above, 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 Pathfinder Travel 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 Pathfinder Travel before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
