From Hanoi-Sapa 3d2n Trekking Hotel + Bungalow With Local Guide
From my very first contact with Jimmy in Swallow Travel for information on our tour we were very impressed. Responses were prompt and informative. The booking process was very easy and we received a full itinerary almost immediately with a breakdown of the costs. On the evening of our overnight train journey to Sapa Jimmy met us at our hotel and ran through all the details of the trip again,the meals, the transfers our hotel and train tickets. He was extremely friendly and attentive and even waited with us at the station to escort us to our train carriage. The two berth cabin on the Chapa train are perfectly Cosy! Two single bunks a little table in between with lamp. We were provided with free water & snacks an slippers. WiFi although patchy was available and Staff kept the toilet & sinks area clean and tidy. Our driver was waiting for us at Lao Chi station an we travelled to Sapa approx 45mins uphill! After breakfast we met our guide for our two days of trekking “Tui” a very friendly local girl who had great English, we did a short trek to cat cat Village about 5km. The second day we did a longer trek about 12km through stunning hills & valleys with amazing views of the paddy fields and mountains. The interaction with the local ladies who joined us in the morning was both fun and memorable. We chose the Amazing Sapa hotel for our overnight stay. Right in the middle of town with stunning views from the balcony rooms and lovely food options. We really enjoyed our trip to Sapa,we didn’t encounter any problems and would definitely recommend Swallow Tours for your Vietnam excursions.

What our customers ask about Sapa Tours & Trips
Which cultural experiences can I join in Sapa and where do they happen?
You can really dive into daily life with the H'mong Red Dao and Giay people especially during harvest time around September-October when there's lots of traditional ceremonies going on. The Sunday Bac Ha market is amazing - you'll see Red Dao women selling their beautiful embroidery and herbs they've gathered from the Hoang Lien mountains. Head to Ta Phin village to learn how H'mong people do their traditional indigo dyeing or join a local family in Ta Van to cook authentic dishes like thang co (it's a horse meat soup) and men men which is this delicious corn cake. If you're around in February the Giay people celebrate their new year in Muong Hoa Valley it's a fantastic way to see their ancestor worship traditions up close.
What natural areas can I visit around Sapa and how do I get to them?
The Hoang Lien Son National Park is massive covering 29845 hectares you can take the new cable car up to Fansipan (visibility's best October-April) or go trekking through these amazing bamboo forests on the 12km Muong Hoa Valley trails. The Silver and Love Waterfalls are accessible through tours or private transport from Tram Ton Pass which sits at 1900m - it's actually Vietnam's highest mountain pass. The rice terraces in Muong Hoa Valley are absolutely stunning during planting season May-June or harvest time September-October you can get there on guided treks from Y Linh Ho village. Just keep in mind you'll need local guides for some protected areas in the park.
What are some hidden gems for getting around Sapa and why do people love them?
The Ta Phin-Ma Tra route is really special for getting close to Red Dao communities without the crowds (try going between 7-10am). There's this interesting Ban Khoang-Ta Giang Phin route that needs special permits but takes you to this fascinating area near the China border where Flower H'mong and Giay cultures mix. Serious trekkers often pick the Sin Chai village trail it's challenging but worth it for pristine mountain views and authentic homestays with Black H'mong families who still keep traditional livestock.
Which spots in Sapa are less touristy but still really worth visiting?
Check out Cao Son's eco-lodges they're about 45km from central Sapa with these beautiful traditional Tay stilt houses overlooking the Chay River valley. The Pha Long market happens Thursdays you need permission ahead of time but it's amazing seeing Red Dao and Tu Di people trading traditionally. Ban Ho village is a tough 15km trek but you'll find authentic Tay architecture and traditional water-powered rice mills. Nam Cang village is great for watching Red Dao silver crafting go on weekday mornings to avoid the tour groups.
How can I get around Sapa what transport options are available?
Getting to Sapa is easy take a luxury limousine bus it's 4-5 hours from Hanoi or catch the overnight train to Lao Cai 8-9 hours with the best cabins on Victoria Express. Once you're in Sapa public buses run between main villages every hour 7am-5pm and you'll need to book Jeep tours ahead for higher villages during rainy season June-September. Rent a motorbike for about 150000 VND per day if you're comfortable riding especially on the new paved road between Sapa and Y Linh Ho. For private cars with English-speaking drivers book 24 hours ahead they're essential for reaching markets like Bac Ha on Sundays or Can Cau on Saturdays.
