Trekking Tour Sa Pa

  Really enjoyed the trek through the villages and rice fields. The homestays were more than I was expecting and the food was delicious! Great hike and views.

  Sinh is a wonderful trekking guide! We had such a great time on this hike. The homestays are lovely, the food is delicious, and the views are stunning. Everyone we met along the way was so kind and welcoming. There is so much culture in Muong Hoa Valley. We loved every minute of this trek, even though the trails were quite muddy this time of year! Sinh and his wife are delightful people to spend time with. We had so much fun! I recommend this highly!

  Sinh who I later came to know as Mr. Sun met us promptly on the morning of day 1 of our trek. The prospect of spending 3 days with a random dude from the internet can be scary, but his huge smile and affable nature put us right at ease. We mostly made small talk as we made our way out of the town, but it soon became clear that Mr. Sun was the real deal, a true local guide. Over the next 3 days we had the pleasure of trekking with him through his homeland. I appreciate a lot about the time we spent together. A few things in particular stand out. We trekked some pretty obscure off-the-beaten paths that you wouldn't find with a transplant guide. Many times that we'd cross paths with some locals Mr. Sun would pause and shoot the breeze. It was inevitably a friend of his from high school or brother of an in-law. One time it was someone he didn't know, but knew him, which confirmed my theory that he's a bit of a local celebrity. I'm really curious and asked a lot of questions, “what's this?” and “why that?”. He almost always had a good answer and when he didn't he looked it up and reported back later, e.g. "it's cassava!". The homestay that we stayed at on our first night was great. We had a private room. It was very clean. The food was tasty. We had a ton of fun at dinner chatting with the family and the other guests late into the evening over homemade apple wine. On day 2 we made a pit stop at Mr. Sun’s family home. It was an honor to get a peak into where he grew up and still lives today. By the end of day 2 we were exhausted from trekking! We had another nice evening in a different homestay again having fun chatting with the other guests, guides, and the family that lived there, this time over rice wine 🙂 The morning of the third day we had a tasty breakfast of crepes and locally-grown bananas before completing another half day of trekking. Finally Sinh had arranged for us to go by car back to Sapa city. Overall the experience was amazing. We learned so much about the people and culture of the region. It was a lot of hiking, which is exactly what we were looking for. I wholeheartedly recommend Sinh and his company Trekking Tour Sapa.

  Excellent trekking experience in Sapa!! We had a small group and were taken off the beaten path compared to other groups we saw. Sinh is a wonderful tour guide and I’d highly recommend his trips to anyone who is interested. Do it, it’ll be a highlight of your trip!!

  If you’re after adventure, this is the hike for you.

First off being in Sa Pa is absolutely beautiful and to be with Sinh, a local who’s been leading tours for years now and is very knowledgeable about the landscape and culture was great. He’s a very kind guy who wants to show you the best experience possible.

The homestay, especially the first night is great, big dinner and breakfast that’s included. Make sure to bring some cash because along the way local women will try and sell you crafts, they weren’t too big of a nuisance though and they are also very kind so getting something off them helps them a lot.

BRING GOOD SHOES/BOOTS. It rains A LOT in Sapa and it can get quite muddy and wet so good shoes is a must. And as long as you have an umbrella you should be good with the rain.

It’s a great tour, Sinh does a fantastic job but the route can be a little dangerous though but if you’re up for whatever comes you way and have an adventurous spirit I highly recommend this tour.

  This is a great tour. The scenery is very unique, the homestays had nice atmosphere and food. We were guided by Sinh's sister who made sure to point out interesting details on the trail. Bring a hat if you can, long stretches are exposed and you may get a lot of sun.
