Head off the beaten path and support a social enterprise.
Looking for a truly immersive Sapa experience? This private 2-day trek takes you off the beaten path through some of the region’s most remote villages, where you’ll meet the Red Dao and Black Hmong people. Unlike other treks that stick to well-trodden routes, this one ventures deeper into the highlands, offering a more authentic glimpse of local life and stunning panoramic views. Along the way, you’ll share meals with local families, learn about their traditions, and spend a night in a cosy homestay with a Red Dao family. As a bonus you will be contributing to a social enterprise which supports a lot of initiatives in Sapa - including education for kids in nearby villages!

Meet your host
Shu Tan, a single mother from the Black Hmong tribe, saw the challenges local youth faced—many couldn’t finish school or find stable jobs. She wanted to change that. So, she started a social enterprise, Vietnam’s first Hmong-owned homestay and trekking company, using tourism to give back. With support from volunteers, she launched the first Hmong-owned homestay, a socially conscious trekking service, and a boarding facility to help ethnic minority youth access education. The company reinvests profits into scholarships, job opportunities, and training for locals, tackling systemic issues like illiteracy and economic instability. Every trek with them helps fund education, every homestay supports a local family.
