Our motorcycle ride (easy rider) was such a brilliant way to explore Sapa -- we covered so much ground through many villages -- perfect for the blazing weather in August.

My husband and I did an easy rider tour of the Muong Hoa Valley with our guide Thao Thi Giang and another driver. She was lovely, and we learned so much about rice farming and the different ethnic groups. We had a delicious lunch in a family home, and Thao was happy to stop wherever we wanted, so we could take pictures of the spectacular views. Both drivers were competent, which is important since some of the roads are pretty rough. Being on the back of a motorcycle was truly a great way to experience this area!

We had an absolute blast on the valley motorbike adventure. It was amazing to get out of Sa Pa to see the countryside that I pictured in my head. Couldn't have asked for a better day, and our guide (Gio?) was great! Would highly recommend to anyone!
