Discover Sapa Tour

Our Sapa Tour brings our travellers closer to the local culture and lifestyles synonimous with the northern territories of Vietnam.  Your journey begins with an overnight stay in Hanoi to alleviate the travels from your long haul flight, followed by the highlight Sapa tour, which begins and ends in the capital Hanoi; incorporating visits to Lao Cai and Sapa town, as well as visits to some remote villages within the Muong Hoa Valley and the village of Matra - a native Black Hmong group of people.  To finish off, guests will return back once again to Hanoi for a couple of days rest and an opportunity to explore the old city itself.

At the end of your journey, you will be met by our local representative for your return journey back to Sapa by car.

In the afternoon, take a stroll around Sapa along some of the dirt trails flanked by serene gardens and lush pine forests for an interesting insight into local life.
