1 Day Sapa Authentic Trekking ( off beaten track )

The day of my ‘trek’ arrived & it was misty & rainy. Some would say that is not the ‘ideal’ weather - however, if you take that in your stride & enjoy the beauty in that, you’ll still have an amazing time. So if your day turns out like mine did - make sure you’re fit, have good balance, be prepared to get muddy & are in shoes that can deal with the slippery conditions. There are also different routes to take depending on your abilities. So make sure you’re honest with what you can handle. My local guide Mr. Cho was fantastic & very helpful. We had many great conversations throughout the day & he organised a herbal bath at a homestay in Ta Phin for me which I highly recommend. Mr. Tinh who organised the tour was communicative & genuinely cared about my experience too.

The views were very nice. We enjoyed the trek a lot and our guide Chô was informative and entertained our questions well too. He spoke really good English as well.

The views on the hike were amazing and the route we chose was away from the usual touristy spots, so it was also nice and quiet! The guide was helpful and also shared lots of informative tidbits throughout! This trek however isn’t suitable for beginners especially if you don’t have proper footwear so do take this into consideration.

I specificially enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere in and around the rice fields as well as the explanations given by my guide Mo.

Todays trekking trip was amazing. We opted for the more natural scenic walk option and it was well worth it! Our guide was absolutely lovely & provided us with a lot of information about the various villages. The experience really takes you through the more untouched areas of Sapa as we hardly saw any other tourists on our route! Highly recommend!

Fantastic trek for 6 hours (including lunch). Ms Dinh was amazing. We met lots of hill tribes people and visited all their different villages. Highly recommend if you want an authentic experience with a village guide off the beaten track.

Excellent trekking, really not touristic. You have the possibility of doing a hard track (which is not steep but is muddy/slippery) or a soft track, and this gives you the possibility of seeing different landscapes (the soft one is more “panoramic”, the hard one is more in the forest and in the nature). We’ve done for the first part the hard track and for the second part the soft one, and then again the hard one to finish in the bamboo forest. Guide Mo was fantastic, very kind.

Have done a full day scooter trekking ;) because our youngest is 5 so on foot or by bike not an option. In the end the best idea because instead of covering 10-20km we did almost 100km and had a great view on Sapa and surrounding villages. Our guide Sing was great as he invited us to his hmong village, we were around the 'kitchen table' and had a great experience, huge contrast with our luxury hotel. Something we like to share with our kids!

Guide spoke amazing English, was very informative and the trek was beautiful. Helpfully met us outside our hostel and we walked from there. Would highly recommend this company.

This trek started from our accommodation and we went through many villages with rice fields, farms and traditional homes. Picturesque scenery, we took the difficult path on our trek as there were two options catering for all abilities. Our tour guide Mr Sinh was amazing, he shared so much knowledge with us about the people, the villages, culture, crop types and animals that we saw along the way. He was easy to talk to and understand. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at a restaurant in the village. We finished our tour at the herbal baths which was an interesting place to see. Definitely a great tour to see the area without too many other people also. Highly recommended.
