Highly recommended - We did the 2-day Fansipan trek starting in Sin Chai. Mr Tinh at Sapa Original Trek organized a private trip for our family of 4 adults. It was very well planned and Mr Tinh was very attentive to our requests, responded quickly and met our expectations. He was very helpful even when we lad last minute requests. He also arranged the bus trip to Sapa from Hanoi.

Two-day Tour to Fansipan - Hiking to Fansipan Peak in a two -day trip is an absolutely fantastic experience. The company who organized our tour as well as our guide are both very professional. They have good English and everything is well organised, with attention to details. We organised pickup from Hanoi Airport and it took around 5 hours to reach our hotel in SaPa. Our hike started at around 10am the next day. We walked to camp one in around 1.5 hours and then they arranged a nice lunch with French bread. After lunch, the trail to camp two took 2.5 hours. After dinner, we slept early at around 7pm. We took breakfast at 4am the next day, and the 2-hour walk with head lights after breakfast was a bit challenging. We were lucky to see sunrise and it was such a wonderful experience! After taking lots of pictures, we head down all the way to the park entrance. The total walking time is around 8.5 hours in the second day.

Amazing Experience with Sapa Original Trek & Our Guide Sinh - We had an unforgettable two-day trekking experience with Sapa Original Trek and our amazing English-speaking guide Sinh. Our adventure started at 9:00 am in Sapa, where Sinh picked us up directly from our hotel. After a short ride to the company’s office, we completed the payment (part of it had already been paid in advance via OnePay) — payment was possible in USD, EUR, or VND. The team provided us with water for the entire trek and even some fresh bananas for energy. Then the hike began! Sinh and his colleague (who carried the food and sleeping bags) adjusted the pace perfectly to our fitness level and even cut bamboo sticks to help us with balance and grip. Along the way, we met another small group from Singapore and decided to hike together to the base camp. The base camp was simple but had everything we needed. We enjoyed a cozy evening with hot food, laughter, and great conversations. Sinh shared fascinating stories about the jungle, the mountains, and local culture — it made the experience even more special. At 3:30 am, we woke up for breakfast under a clear, star-filled sky. Starting our final ascent at 4:00 am, we reached the summit of Mount Fansipan at 6:00 am, just in time for a breathtaking sunrise above the clouds. We were there long before any cable car tourists arrived — it felt magical to have the peak all to ourselves. Sinh even surprised us with a medal and a certificate for reaching the summit! Because our legs were quite tired, we decided to take the cable car down (800,000 VND / about 26 € per person). Sinh joined us — he has an annual pass — and afterward, he arranged a taxi to bring us back safely to our hotel. The cable car ride offered a whole new perspective of the beautiful landscape. We can highly recommend Sapa Original Trek, and especially Sinh, for anyone looking for a genuine, caring, and professional trekking experience. Thank you for this amazing adventure — one we will never forget! – Lara & Jens

Worth it; highly recommended - Mr. Thinh was very responsive and helpful. The guide (Chay) was also kind and always made sure we were safe and moving at the same pace. The weather can change quickly, so clear skies aren’t guaranteed, but it was definitely worth it!

Great experience! - We did the 2 day Fansipan trekking with the friendly mr Chay, which was an amazing experience! We slept in a basic hut up the mountain which definitely had its charm. Be mindful that it is a lot of ascending on the first day! :). We are vegetarian and the food was really good, large portions and a lot of options. I would recommend booking this tour!

Premium Trekking in Sapa - Trekking with Sapa Original Trek was amazing. The guide and our Porter went beyond everything for us, so we could have a good time. We got amazing food on the trek. A fresh Banh Mi, with chicken and egg and lots of salad and sauces. Afterwards we had an out of this world dinner on the campsite at 2800 m the guys prepared for us. One of the best meals I had in Vietnam. And that with limited options to cook. Trekking was good as well, sleeping at the campsite at approximately 2800 was very exciting. Out guide spoke very good English and was very patient with us while hiking. 100 percent recommend.

Two days on Fansipan - This 2 day trek was a great way to hike Fansipan and arrive at the summit and Buddhist complex before the cable car was open and avoid crowds. The hike up was an excellent way to experience different aspects of the mountain environment including the views, forest and climate. The guide was great - he was friendly and always available to assist when needed. The food provided as part of the tour was excellent. The overnight accommodation was basic but the camaraderie and food more than made up for it.
