All Sapa Tours & Excursions in 2026

Both the water falls were awesome, Love water falls needed a lot of walking and climbing down and up steps. Our tour guide Ghenh did inform us of the physical strength and energy needed to do these tours. We took our own time completing the tour. Ghenh helped a lot holding my wife's hands and guiding her. Again Silver Water Falls was very beautiful but steep steps. Ghenh almost suggested it was not for us as we can have a good view from the bottom itself. But we did go more than half way, though exhausting it was worth the pain. After these two we thought Cat cat village was not going to be very hard on our knees. But it was, yet we enjoyed it. We were not able to get good vegetarian food at Lao cai. We had no time for the Market. But all in all, we had a very good guide trying her best to communicate and convey every thing. She is very kind and helpful. We had a great driver I could not get his name.

Our tour guide was May. Our tour wouldn’t be WAY more amazing without May’s outstanding customer service. The experience was definitely one of the MAJOR highlights of our trip in Sa Pa. The pacing of activities, including the destinations to go to, was just enough to enjoy the beauty of the places. Definitely worth it! Thank you for organizing this tour to travelers who wanna explore Sa Pa :)

A really great experience. The scenery was extraordinary, even in poor weather. The route on the second day was challenging due to mud but manageable. The meals were all very good quality, with very generous tofu and egg options for vegetarians. I would recommend requesting your own room in honest rather than a dorm. Facilities in honesty were basic but all that was required. Room had a fan and a mosquito net. May was a really good tour guide and provided good advice and information. The group was a good size.

If you are looking for a serious physical challenge, this excursion is for you. It is not for the faint of heart! I consider myself to be a physically fit person (regularly train for marathons, strength train at the gym), but I struggled with this one (although I did make it to the summit!). It really is best for someone who has some basic experience mountain hiking. Although you are trekking, not climbing, up the mountain, there are a lot of points where you are scaling rocks and boulders and need to use your hands as well as your feet to keep moving. If you do it in the summer like I did, be prepared to get wet. It rains most days on the mountain even if it’s sunny in Sapa, and so you will trek through a lot of water, and the rocks and boulders you scale will be very slippery. I wore trail runners, and the grip was good enough, so I would say trail runners at minimum for footwear. Hiking shoes or boots might be even better, especially if they are waterproof. Also, bring hiking poles — I regretted not having them. In the summer, there’s no view at the summit due to clouds and fog, but it’s still incredible to get there. Lastly, be aware that once you reach the Fansipan site, there still are hundreds of steps you have to climb to get to the summit. None of this is meant to turn anyone off to this excursion, but it’s helpful to know what you’re actually getting into. My guide, Chai, was absolutely amazing — he was patient and kind, never rushed me, and he made a tasty lunch (banh mi sandwich, fruit, veggies, coffee) for us which I greatly appreciated. I would be happy to have him again for any trek or tour in Sapa!

Excellent service. We took a car from Hanoi to Sapa. Our driver was right on time to pick us up. He drove well and helped us get to our destination, which was not easy as it was way up in the hills on paths that were barely wide enough for one car. Thank you.

Definitely do a private tour otherwise there might be a lot of waiting and/or rushing depending on the pace of thr group. Manage your expectations regarding the view, it is very smoggy even in sunshine. A mix of trails, paved roads, and paddy ledges. Mostly a downhill hike from Sapa Town. Our guide, Soo, was kind. As well published, the villagers do follow you and will high pressure sales you their handicrafts.

I had an amazing day with my guide Tamay. She was extremely knowledgeable about local communities and cultures and so much fun to hang out with for the day. She was a very safe driver and made sure I was completely looked after. This was a highlight on my Vietnam trip!

Excellent trail, beautiful nature, incredible views, and our guide Nhu, a local H'Mong guide, told us about life there and about her family. We were able to try traditional food, which was delicious, including rice from the Sapa terraces. Thank you so much for a great day.
