It was a brilliant 2 days of trekking to see the landscapes in Sapa with a warm and kind local guide who knew the ins and outs like the back of her hand! The homestay itself was also such a wonderful place to stay and learn a bit about the traditional Hmong home!

Trekked off the beaten trek with May Shan. Although it was misty the whole trip, May’s depth of knowledge and her great grasp of English made it truly enjoyable.

Our guide Pay (not sure how to spell it I’m sorry!) was great. He taught us a lot along the way and answered all of our million of questions 😊 it was a pleasure to have him as a guide. The trek itself was beautiful and peaceful. We walked in total for approx 4 hours and it was quite an easy walk through villages and rice fields. Lunch was also good.

10/10 recommend this amazing experience. Everything was easy- the company Whatsapped me to arrange transport, accommodated my request for a female guide, and were so patient with my questions. The trek itself was fun, scenic and beautiful, and my guide, Mai, was just superb. She made me feel safe, taught me so much about the region, and we just chatted away the whole time. Lunch was delicious too. So glad I booked this!

Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and spoke excellent English! We had a nice walk, lunch was very generous, and we did learn a lot about local minority groups (our guide very patiently answered our many questions!). However, I would just note that some of the things listed as part of the hike were not really as advertised. For example, the booking page lists "visiting a French-era church" - which we didn't do (though we don't mind much), and the Red Dao herbal bath pictured on the booking page with that big window and lovely view of the outdoors was not what we experienced (see image). These are very small things, and perhaps mostly due to a misalignment between how Seek Sophie chooses to present the experience, but if you're someone who expects to get exactly what's described then you might be slightly disappointed. That said, as a social enterprise, I really love Sapa O Chau's mission and would definitely recommend booking an experience with them because it was a great day!

We joined the Sapa Off-Grid Trek with Social Enterprise, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Our guide, Phay, a local farmer who guides during the off-harvest season, made the trek exceptional from start to finish. He was attentive to our pace and always made sure we were comfortable on the trail. Throughout the trek, he shared thoughtful insights about the Hmong and Dao communities, patiently answered every question, and pointed out details along the route that we would never have noticed on our own. Walking with someone who grew up in the region and from the Hmong tribe offered a perspective that standard tourist routes simply cannot provide. An important aspect of this tour is that it directly contributes to the livelihoods of local people like Phay, supporting them outside of the harvest season while promoting sustainable and responsible tourism. Thanks to Phay, we were able to see a side of Sapa that felt genuine, grounded, and deeply connected to the land and its people. He is a tremendous asset to this experience, and we are grateful for the opportunity to have learned from him.
