“Great experience going to Ha Lang bay. Tour guide was very good. Bus made a "shakedown" stop at a pearl farm which was a bit strange (I presume the bus driver/ tour guide is given a kickback). Kayaking and the cave visit were definitely highlights. The boat was great, but not what I consider 5 star. More like a 3 star. On day 2 "Lunch" as served at 9:45 AM. Would have been nicer to cruise longer and have a more appropriately timed lunch. Overall great experience and would do it again.”

Travel from Hanoi to Sapa by air-conditioned limousine bus, then walk to Cat Cat and, on day two, through the rice terraces toward Lao Chai and Ta Van. An English-speaking local guide leads the treks, with hotel or Ta Van homestay accommodation depending on your option. Expect a scenic but long drive and a challenging second-day walk.

“The drive from Hanoi to Sapa is long but worth the trip. Once we arrived, the tours were organized by which hotel you stayed at. The first day's trek was shorter but involved going down and back up. The second day's trek was longer but only involved downhill and getting bused back to the hotel. The description online didn't quite match with the itinerary (first day trek uphill - no bus, but then dinner included). Our guide, Tai My, was a member of a local tribe and showed us through the villages. She was a great guide, very friendly and she answered all our questions about the area and life…”
