Great day out for those that love hiking and want to explore the rice fields in Sa Pa. Our guide was very attentive and her knowledge was informative. Lunch was delicious, had a variety of traditional Vietnamese food to choose from. Definitely book this trip if you want an action packed day!

This was such a good trek through the paddy fields - definitely a to-do in Sapa. A decent level of fitness and ability to move down steep hills is required. Wear good hiking shoes and bring lots of water! Our guide spoke good English and was happy to answer as many questions as we wanted to ask. The timing of this trek was good as we did the bulk of the trekking before lunch, which we were all more than ready for. Lunch itself was good and there was a mini-van pick-up at the end of the trek so we didn’t need to trek back the same way.

The tour itself was amazing - our guide was extremely nice, spoke good english and told us a lot of interesting facts. He was very honest and genuine when talking us through what the expectation is when dealing with the locals in the villages - how to bargain, what’s too much, how we shouldn’t buy anything from the children to encourage then to be in school instead. The difficulty of the trek was fairly easy I’d say, there was only about 30-40 minutes uphill total - the rest is either downhill or flat. If you are in athletic condition it might come off a bit too easy even. My only issue with the tour was that the organization in the beginning was slightly bad - we went to the office of Vietnam NomadTrails where we were told to wait, waited for 30-40 minutes. Eventually after we asked about the tour again they just added us onto some random group (our guide was not expecting us either) that I’m pretty sure was a slightly different trek from what we booked.
