This tour made the journey up to Sapa from Hanoi completely worth it! We had such a lovely day exploring through the bamboo & rice paddies and visiting the local villages. The lunch was lovely too and our dietary requirements were met with ease. Highly recommend this ethical business!

We had a great day soft-trekking with SaPa weather trekking tours. We were lucky and got the owner Mai as a guide for the day. Mai was super friendly, has a great sense of humour and shared lots of interesting facts about the local hill tribes and flora throughout the day. Cannot recommend her highly enough. Thanks for a splendid day Mai:)

We did a 1-day trek and really enjoyed it, the guide was friendly and gave us nice insights into local culture. They take into account how challenging or long you want the trek to be. Would definetly recommend.

Wir haben die Tour “Airplane Mountain and Rice-field Villages Trek” (ca. 15-16 km) mit Su gemacht. Sie war super rücksichtsvoll, ausgesprochen nett und hat uns einen ganz wundervollen (aber auch anspruchsvollen) Tag bereitet und uns das Leben der Hmong gezeigt, indem sie uns mit in ihr Dorf und ihr Haus genommen hat. Einfach beeindruckend! Wir würden jederzeit wieder Sapa Weather Trekking Tours wählen. Ganz lieben Dank für die tolle Organisation und den wunderschönen Tag.
