Went on a 2 days hiking tour in Sapa Valley with Sapa tracking.
Wonderful experience. Everything that is mention in the website it is exactly as it is.
May is a wonderful operator with great guides that speak English. They ensure the hike is safe, explain the journey before hand and prepare me will for the hike.
More important, the entire supply chain of the hike directly benefit the local community. They have great understanding of the land and able to give you a great hiking and culture experience.
I was surprise that foraging from the forest is included in the trip. We walk along the trial and I was shown and get the oppotunity to try what the Black Hmong people forage from their forest for 100s of years.
I highly Recomend Sapa weather tracking tours. Be it you want a simple hike or a more challenging 2-3 days hike. You will be in good hand.
Ask for guide Su. She is very chatty and wonderful guide.

The most beautiful trek in a local village with Mi. She was super accommodating and started later in the day for us. Also allowed us to do a shorter trek to accommodate all. Also offers longer treks. The local village and the scenery was lovely. Not to mention all the dogs we saw. She also showed us a stunning cafe to stop in at the start. And then joined us for lunch at the end. We didn’t feel rushed in the slightest

Mai is an absolute delight. Friendly, joyful and informative. Loved the trek Tavan to Ta Chai village. She went out of her way to help us with many things including transport, coffee and food places.
Highly recommend using Mai.

We did a few different tours with Sapa Weather and they were absolutely amazing! On each walk we saw different parts of the valley and villages – it was so beautiful and felt really well tailored to us 🙂 At the overnight homestay we tried the cooking class and batik workshop – it all turned out surprisingly well which must be a testament to the teaching! Mai, our guide was wonderful and taught us so much about the local way of life and her hopes for her community – these tours really made our stay in Sapa special, we would highly recommend Sapa Weather Trekking Tours!
