We loved being “off the beaten path” and being in the midst of the rice fields. Lunch was authentic home-cooked food and was amazing as well. We went in June (rainy season), and it rained throughout the trek. We recommend checking the weather before you embark on the trek to be adequately prepared (with umbrellas, ponchos etc). There will likely be friendly Hmong locals who approach you and strike conversation, just keep in mind that they are street vendors who sell souvenirs. Overall, a unique experience for those looking for something different and more adventurous! :)

This tour was amazing! We were a group of 7 and did the two day trek with our guide Mae Xuan - she was amazing! We learnt so much about the local area and the people that live there. The views along the trek were phenomenal and staying in Mae’s home was such a special experience. The food her family cooked for us was amazing. We chose to add on a herbal bath after our first day of walking which was the perfect way to recover for the next day. We didn’t cross paths with any other tourist groups and the whole tour felt like a really authentic experience of the local area. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone! The trek was moderately difficult with some uphill parts which were tough in the heat at times but Mae was very happy for us to stop and take breaks when we needed. The only thing we didn’t bring that we missed was some snacks to have while trekking. Water and soft drinks / beer can be bought from Mae’s house and all main meals are included. Trekking time on the first day was approx 3.5 hours in the morning before lunch then another 1.5 after lunch. Day 2 was approx. 4.5 hours and lunch afterwards before being dropped back to Sapa

Great experience walking through the villages and right along the rice paddy fields. Took the easy route with my mum but due to rainfall the previous day it was not easy!! First tip: wear black socks and be prepared to get muddy. But it was very fun, scenic and our guide, May, was very helpful! Second tip: save your purchases for the Sapa O’Chau Hmong shop next to the lunch stop. They had quality goods!

If you're visiting Sapa, this tour is an absolute must for experiencing the region’s stunning rice terraces and rich local culture! My guide, La, was fantastic. Her English was excellent, and she shared fascinating insights about the tribal traditions and daily life as we hiked through the lush landscapes (where we got to take aesthetic photos!) The highlight wasn’t just the beautiful views but also the chance to savour authentic local cuisine - simple, hearty, and bursting with flavour. It really added to the immersive experience. One small tip: pack a rain jacket or umbrella. The weather can change in an instant, especially in May (rainy season). But even with a little rain, the adventure was unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Sapa’s beauty and culture in a meaningful way!

Good experience and a meaningful physical way to experience the Sapa hills and seeing their way of life. We did a half day trek and chose the easy route which brought us through the main dirt paths of the villages, but we still managed to see nice views of the terraces. Our guide, Su, was cheerful and friendly, telling us about his family life and pointing out the kind of medicinal properties of the plants we see along the way. The place we stopped at for lunch serves great home cooked-style food and a mean plate of fried spring rolls (easily the best we had in the universe of fried spring rolls). Next to the lunch spot was a Hmong weaving place by the same family, where we got a nice indigo hemp souvenir handmade from scratch. All in all a great way to support local! (Tip: Renting gumboots from their Sapa office helped us stave off the muddy splashes from the road. However, do be prepared for a lack of proper shoe/sole support.)
