It was very nice even with the fog and rain we still had some beautiful views. We did the easy part for the beginning because of the mud, at the end we chose a more difficult path and it was muddy and slippery but our guide helped us and it was totally worth it!!!”

From Sapa: Waterfalls, Trekking and Tribal Villages Tour

15.Waterfalls, Trekking and Tribal Villages Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 91 reviews · from $72

Review of Sapa’s waterfalls and village trek, with route details, food, value, difficulty, guide tips, and advice before booking.

“This was a great tour, probably not a five hour trek as advertised but that was a good thing for us. We went by car to the two waterfalls (a lovely longer walk to get to the first), then got dropped off about 50 mins outside the first village, and wandered for about another three hours including a stop for lunch. The walk between the two villages was the loveliest part, through corn fields and a bamboo forest. Our guide, Cu, was brilliant. Eloquent and knowledgeable, she was terrific to spend the day with and we learned and laughed a lot.”
