A region as stunning as Sapa deserves to be explored properly, and that is an opportunity that Incredible Asia Journeys brings to you with our Best of Sapa 3 Day Tour. This all-inclusive tour of Sapa involves 3 days of trekking around its tantalising scenery: verdant green or gold rice paddies descending from the sky to the valley floor, waterfalls and rivers set before towering forested mountains and local families of ethnic minority groups enjoying languid lives from the sides of the Muong Hoa Valley.
We take care of all of your accommodation, transportation and meals on the Best of Sapa 3 Day Tour, giving you nothing to focus on but the stunning surrounds. We use Sapa Town as our base, returning to the old French hill station each afternoon to revel in the magic atmosphere that befalls it when night descends. We walk no more than 10km every day and give you plenty of stops for relaxing and talking to the various hill tribes of Sapa to learn about what makes life in this perfect region so special.
