The Ha Giang loop is a must-do. I really enjoyed our Tour with the Dragon Team, as our group was small and we did not lose much time with hopping on &amp; off at stops. Our guide knew the region, showed us a lot and could get us to less crowded spots. He could also adjust for our wishes and do little detours.

The most adventurous 3 days I have ever had. Only recommendation is to do a longer trip!

Highly recommended for a less crowded, slower-paced experience that lets you really take in the beauty of all the scenery. Extend the trip if you can to have an additional day around Dong Van!

Excellent 3 days around the Ha Giang Loop with guide Cay and drivers Chang and Ha - thank you so much for the wonderful experience! The scenery was phenomenal, the places they took us for food were delicious (and accommodating of vegan request) and the campsite was especially beautiful! We hiked, kayaked, swam in the river and an also in a waterfall - all fantastic opportunities. I would book again in a heartbeat!
