Less crowded than Ha Giang, Cao Bang charms with wild valleys & Ban Gioc Falls on the Vietnam-China border.

Skip the busy northern loop. Waterfall treks, cave trips, motorbike rides, village homestays, and mountain roads. Handpicked Cao Bang with local hosts.

We had an amazing time on the Ha Giang Loop with Seek Sophie! There were skilled drivers showing us wonderful locations. I enjoy the small group atmosphere and the home stays were lovely. This is definitely the tour to pick if you want a quieter more local experience.

I highly recommend this tour 
 They usually only hold a small crew which is nice and intimate. 
 Some other crews seem a bit more full on but this is a nice chill one
 We went down some back roads that I’m not sure others do and some awesome home stays too.

Ali,cha,toolm and phee (the drivers) were super informative and were up for anything 
 I recommend for anyone who is looking for a nice tour not a full on party tour

Just back from the Hiang loop and what an amazing experience it has been . Our guides were fantastic, Aly and Phinh for our whole trip Tung and Cha for the first 2 nights. My cousin and I both felt completely safe with our drivers and we're so well looked after. If you have the time book the extra night for more hidden gems off the beaten track and away from the masses. Huge thank you to both Aly and Phinh. Highly recommend this trip

De Ha Giang loop was echt een geweldige ervaring. Alles was super goed geregeld en er werd echt goed voor ons gezorgd door de riders. Achter op de motor door de prachtige natuur van Vietnam is onvergetelijk. De communicatie was super goed met de organisatie en we hadden een hele fijne reisleider.

Aly was and exceptional guide and very safe driver. His great personality made the trip more fun. His English is quite good and he taught me a lot about Hmong culture. I would highly recommend him! I highlight of mine was camping at the river and kayaking there.

Drivers were fantastic, home stays were very comfortable, itinerary was perfect. Our trip leader, Van (think that’s how it’s spelled) was incredible. Would highly recommend.

I loved my experience in the Ha Giang Loop and my driver Tung made everything fun, safe, and comfortable as a solo female traveler. He was incredibly professional and kind and went out of his way to make my experience the best. I would recommend to pack clothes for colder/rainy weather and hot weather as I had both extremes in my 3 days. A pair or two of long pants and a light sweater saved me from freezing when the rain came unexpectedly. They also provide rain protection if needed so that is great as well. Also it is so important to bring your own sunscreen as there isn’t many convenient places to grab some along the way, I wore 50spf and still got burnt. Overall, booking through Seek Sophie streamlines everything and makes it all simple. I loved the adventure and would 100% recommend it for anybody who is able.

We chose this tour because the kayaking + camping caught our eye, and we were also looking for a smaller group vibe that’s less crowded with more outdoor activities. Safe to say it totally delivered, and we LOVED it! 

The itinerary was really well planned, and the camping + kayaking day was the highlight for us. We actually thought we’d be pitching our own tents, so it was such a nice surprise to end up in a beautiful glamping setup instead. Beds were clean, pillows were comfy &amp; toilets had hot water! The views from the campsite was also soooo stunning. 

The guides were super attentive and took great care of us the entire time. Big shoutout to Che and the drivers for making the whole experience such a fun and memorable one. I’d highly recommend going with Ha Giang Expeditions if you’d like something more curated and personal. &lt;3
