What people love about Sapa Tours from Hanoi

Danny was very organised and conscientious throughout my whole tour! It was great to have different guides in the various places we visited as they had a lot of personal knowledge from growing up in the area. Cha, our guide in Sapa, was from a local tribe & taught me some of their language, and Guang, our Hanoi guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, interesting and entertaining. My dietary requirements were taken care of in each place, which made things a lot easier too. A wonderful tour overall which gives you a great introduction to the best places in Northern Vietnam!

We had so much fun during the tour. We also had the opportunity to experience with the locals and understand the local culture. Our guide was very nice and helpful. The retreat was really nice.

A well planned itinerary for this tour. So many highlights included. Gave a very informative view of northern Vietnam culture and its beautiful people. Excellent guide and driver. So supportive of all of our needs; strongly recommend this tour and this company.

Oh yeah – you may also be interested in our FULL GUIDE – the best Vietnam travel tips

1 Take a bus

The cheapest way to travel from Hanoi to Sapa is to take a bus. Long-distance bus services in Vietnam are more comfortable than other southeast asian countries. Taking a bus from Hanoi to Sapa is a good option if you are traveling on a budget. Many bus companies include a free hotel pick up. However, we always recommend being ready with a backup option if your pick-up does not come through.

We traveled with the Ha Son Hai Van bus company. They have a range of different buses in their fleet. We were particularly impressed with the Royal 20 Cabin Sleeper bus. The bus is spacious, comfortable and surprisingly luxurious. The Royal 20 cabin sleeper bus has comfortable beds with bedding included and an on board entertainment system. We couldn’t get this to work!

There are toilets on board the bus. We also love the thoughtful touch of including a free buffet with drinks and food at the bus station.

How much does it cost to take a bus from Hanoi to sapa?

Buses from between Hanoi and Sapa generally cost around 300,000VND – 400,000VND (approximately £10 – £15 or roughly $12 – $18)

How do you book bus tickets to travel from Hanoi to sapa?

There are several ways to book buses between Hanoi and Sapa. You can book directly with a bus company. Alternatively, speak to a tour operator in Hanoi or Sapa. You can also book Vietnam bus tickets online for this journey. Book tickets between Hanoi and Sapa with Sapa Dragon on Klook .

How long is the bus journey from Hanoi to sapa?

The bus journey normally takes 6 – 7 hours.

Some disadvantages of taking a bus from Hanoi to Sapa:

Here are some of the challenges and disadvantages of taking a bus. Firstly, some travelers have tried to arrange free hotel pick ups and been let down by the bus company. If you have time it may be better to get yourself to the bus station. Furthermore, if you take a night bus be aware that it will probably stop in the night and stops can be noisy and travellers have been woken up by drivers shouting.

If you take a sleeper bus be aware that cubicles may be too short for taller travelers. In some cases you may be dropped off outside of town (e.g. returning to Hanoi). Bus companies should organize transfers. Also a sleeper bus is less secure than a sleeper train. Never leave your valuables in your bag under the bus. Always make sure your valuables bag is very close to you and not accessible to anyone else (don’t leave it on the aisle side).

2 Take a luxury limo

A very fast and convenient way to travel between Hanoi and Sapa is to take a luxury limo van. This is a very comfortable shared 9-seater minibus with Wi-Fi, USB charging sockets, large comfortable seats and space for luggage. Luxury minibus limos offer a hotel pick up between 6am – 7.30am (you will be given an exact pick up time a day or two before departure). and they normally take one or two toilet breaks. It is worth taking a photo of the number plate of your minivan to make sure you find the right one at the end of the break. Many of the luxury limo minibuses do not allow food on board. Make sure you have a good breakfast before your departure.

How much does it cost to take a luxury limo from Hanoi to sapa?

500,000VND (around £17 or $20)

How do you book luxury limo tickets between Hanoi and Sapa?

We recommend that you book luxury limo between Hanoi and Sapa on Klook . This gives accountability, transparency and reassurance – and as ever you will always get a fair price on Klook.

The journey takes around 6 – 7 hours arriving at around 2pm at Sapa stone church

Taking a luxury limo between Hanoi and Sapa is genuinely a very good option. However, there are still a few setbacks. Firstly, it is important to be aware that you are not allowed to eat food on board. Another challenge of this journey is the bumpy windy road, especially towards the end of the journey. If you struggle with motion sickness this can be pretty tough. We recommend sitting towards the front of the bus if possible and bringing some motion sickness pills. Finally taking the minibus does involve getting quite an early start, especially if you are the first pick up.

3 Take a sleeper train

Night train from Hanoi to 4 bed sleeper cabin

The sleeper train is a fun, comfortable and unique way to travel between Hanoi and Sapa. Most sleeper trains depart from Hanoi around 9pm – 10pm from Hanoi central Railway station. The sleeper train is more expensive and slower than a bus. However, a sleeper train is likely to be more secure, comfortable and spacious than a bus.

Night train from Hanoi to 2 bed sleeper cabin

Trains also offer better facilities than a bus. It is not possible to get a sleeper train directly from Hanoi to Sapa. Instead, you need to take a sleeper train to a small town called Lao Cai (on the Chinese border). From here, you can take a mini bus to Sapa.

Night train hanoi to sapa door lock private cabin

Minibuses wait in the train station carpark in Lao Cai. They depart regularly once they fill up with passengers. If this sounds too awkward then the bus may be a better option for you (bus services are direct).

How much does it cost to take a train from Hanoi to Sapa?

Train prices vary between 700,000VND – 1,000,000VND (around £25 – £35 or around $30 – $40). You will then need to pay for a minibus transfer from Lao Cai to Sapa costing around 60,000VND. Minibuses wait in the carpark at the front of the station. Alternatively there is a scheduled bus to Sapa which costs 30,000VND per person and departs at 6am, 7am, 7.20am and 8pm.

TOP TIP: This may seem expensive but when you are working out your budget remember that this also gives you one night of accommodation as well as a journey. By taking a sleeper train you are saving the cost of a night of accommodation somewhere else.

How do you book train tickets to travel from Hanoi to Lao Chai?

You can book train tickets directly at the train station in Hanoi. You can book Vietnam train tickets on 12Go .

How long is the train journey from Hanoi to sapa?

The train journey normally takes around 8 – 9 hours, running through the night.

There are a few disadvantages of taking the train between Hanoi and Sapa. Firstly, you need to get yourself to the train station. No cushy hotel pick ups. What’s more, night trains arrive quite early in the morning, normally around 5am – 6am. Be prepared to be rushed off the train in the morning. Remember that the train arrive in a town called Lao Cai. It takes an additional 45 minutes – 1 hour to travel to Sapa. It is also worth being aware but there are no food options available on the train. Furthermore, trains do not have any buffet cars, therefore we recommend eating before your journey or bringing food on the train with you.

4 Rent a car and drive

Another way to get to Sapa is to rent a car and drive. This is probably a good option if you are traveling with a group or as a family and you’re looking for a convenient way to get around. One of the great things about renting a car and driving is the freedom. You can choose when to leave, when to stop, where to stop and you can use the car to get around in Sapa and also in Hanoi.

The journey between Hanoi and Sapa is around 315 km by road, this is likely to take around 5 – 6 hours. If you do choose to rent a car and drive in Vietnam we recommend that you are fully qualified, insured and experienced to drive in a country with very busy roads.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Hanoi?

Car rental deals start at around £140 per day (roughly $160)

How do you rent a car in Hanoi?

Did you know that you can use skyscanner to find car rental deals in Hanoi?

How long is the drive between Hanoi and sapa?

The drive between Hanoi and Sapa is likely to take around 5 – 6 hours

Some disadvantages of renting a car in Vietnam for this journey:

Although renting a car is very convenient and allows a lot of freedom there are some disadvantages of doing this. Firstly, car rental is an expensive option. You will also need to consider the price of petrol as well as rental fees – which are pretty high. Car rental is not a good option of you’re traveling on a tight budget. However, if you are traveling as a family you can share the cost across your group and it may actually be worthwhile. Another thing to consider if you are renting a car in Vietnam is safety. We recommend driving very carefully and taking time to learn the new Road rules and conventions. Make sure you are fully qualified and insured to drive in Vietnam. Car rental companies may also request Western Union or Bank Transfers for the deposit.

Summary – what is the best way to travel from Hanoi to sapa?

Overall, the best way to travel between Hanoi and Sapa depends on your budget, desire for convenience and your specific needs as a traveler. If you are traveling on a tight budget we recommend taking a bus. A luxury sleeper bus can also be a very good option for a family, because the beds are comfortable and they also have toilets on board.

If you want a fast convenient trip, we recommend taking the luxury limo van. Slightly more expensive than buses – but may be worthwhile for the smooth efficient journey.

If you’re interested in a new experience and you don’t mind the journey taking longer, it is worth considering the sleeper train. Although sleeper trains are more expensive, remember that you save one night’s accommodation costs by taking this option.

If you are traveling with kids and you want to explore other places along the way and be very mobile, renting a car may be a good option. However, we only recommend renting a car if you have a bigger budget for your trip and you are qualified and comfortable driving in Vietnam.

Here are a few awesome places to stay in Sapa. All of these properties are located in or very near to Sapa town (a short walk at the most).

Preparing For Your Trip

Are you ready to embark on a day trip from Hanoi to Sapa ? Before you head out, there are some things you should consider. Firstly, let’s talk about packing tips. It’s always best to pack light when going on a day tour. Bring only the essentials such as your camera, sunscreen, and extra cash. Remember that Sapa is located in the northern mountainous region of Vietnam so it can get quite chilly up there even during summer months. Don’t forget to bring a jacket or sweater.

Now that we’ve covered what to pack, let’s discuss transportation options. There are several ways you can travel from Hanoi to Sapa including by bus or train. However, in 3 day Sapa tour from Hanoi, if you prefer comfort and convenience then hiring a private car with a driver would be ideal. This way, you won’t have to worry about navigating public transit systems or figuring out which bus stop to get off at. Plus, having a personal driver means you can make stops along the way for photo opportunities or local snacks!

Exploring Local Markets

One of the best ways to experience a new culture is through its markets, and Sapa ‘s local markets are no exception. As you wander through the bustling alleys lined with colorful stalls, you’ll be immersed in the sights, smells, and sounds of daily life for the locals. Take your time exploring each vendor’s wares – from handmade textiles to fresh produce grown in nearby fields. But it’s not just about shopping. The local markets offer a glimpse into the customs and traditions of the ethnic minority groups who call this region home.

You might witness women dressed in traditional garb selling handwoven baskets or see locals bargaining over prices while sipping on cups of steaming tea. It’s moments like these that truly make cultural immersion possible, leaving you with memories that will last long after your trip has ended.

As you leave behind the vibrant market scene, get ready for another adventure as we delve deeper into nature by trekking through the majestic mountains surrounding Sapa.

Trekking Through The Mountains

As we trekked through the mountains, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe at the stunning natural beauty around us. The hiking trails led us up and down steep inclines, past cascading waterfalls, and through lush forests teeming with wildlife.

We paused frequently to catch our breath and take in the breathtaking mountain views that stretched out before us. Along the way, we encountered friendly locals who were more than happy to share their knowledge of the area with us.

They pointed out rare birds, unique plants, and interesting rock formations as we hiked deeper into the heart of the range. It was an unforgettable experience that left us feeling invigorated and renewed – there’s truly nothing like immersing oneself in nature to reconnect with one’s inner self.

Here are some tips for anyone planning on trekking through these majestic mountains:

Wear comfortable shoes with good traction
Bring plenty of water and snacks to keep your energy levels high
Dress appropriately for changing weather conditions
Take time to rest and appreciate your surroundings along the way
Respect local customs and traditions when interacting with community members
Leave no trace and practice responsible tourism by disposing of waste properly and not disturbing wildlife or natural habitats.

Visiting A Minority Village

After trekking through the mountains of Sapa , it’s time to take a break and immerse yourself in the local culture. The next stop on your day tour is visiting a minority village where you can experience authentic cultural exchange with the locals.

As you enter the village, you’ll be greeted by friendly faces and warm smiles from the villagers who are eager to share their way of life with you. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about their traditions, customs, and daily routines as well as try some traditional dishes made by the locals. This interaction goes beyond just taking photos or observing – it’s an active participation in meeting locals and experiencing their unique way of life. Don’t forget to bring small gifts like pens or candies for children which will make them smile even brighter.

And if that isn’t enough excitement for one day, why not continue exploring Sapa from above? Take a cable car ride up Fansipan Mountain for breathtaking views of lush greenery and stunning landscapes that will leave you feeling exhilarated.

Taking A Cable Car Ride

For an unforgettable experience of the beautiful Sapa mountains, taking a cable car ride is highly recommended. The Muong Hoa Valley cable car ride offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and takes you to one of the highest peaks in Indochina. Booking tickets for this scenic route can easily be done online or through your tour guide.

See Amazing Rice Fieds From Fansipan Cable Car

Once you arrive at the station, simply present your ticket and enjoy the smooth ascent up into the clouds. As you soar above the lush greenery below, take in the stunning panorama of cascading rice terraces and traditional hill tribe villages nestled among the rolling hills.

Welcome to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam! – Things to do before your day trip to Sapa from Hanoi.

Because time is limited and you also need to stay healthy for the long journey that night, it’s advisable to participate in some light activities.

One of the first suggestions is to take a walk in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, a should-not-miss place when visiting the capital. This location is well-known for its ancient French-inspired architecture and the unique Hanoi street food tour. You’ll be also able to witness the interesting lifestyle of the locals.

The greatest time to experience the local nightlife is at night, after work, when people usually hang out with friends or family.

Climb the Fansipan Mountain

Fansipan, commonly referred to as the “Roof of Indochina,” is the highest mountain peak in Indochina (including Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos). It is also the hightlight of Sapa.

With an altitude of 3,143 meters, Fanxipan is less than half of Mount Everest, you can take pride in having conquered a mountain at the tail end of Himalayas

This can be one of the best experiences you will have if you are confined to rooms with four walls for a long time.

You will have the opportunity to zoom out of sight, which is completely covered by the green of the mountains and undulating mountains. Occasionally, a few bird wings appear in the wide sky, and the air is also better than ever. After demanding workdays, in my opinion, it will be great moments to unwind and give your mind a break.

Climbing is most enjoyable in the spring or autumn. There will be less risk of rain during these seasons, and the weather will be ideal for mountaintop accommodations.

Of course, another season could work as well, but there’s always a chance that clouds will block your view. As taking in the view of the surrounding mountains and villages is a major component of ascending Fansipan, you will be seriously missing out if the weather is not favorable.

Explore the villages of the Black Hmong and Red Dao people

The Black Hmong and the Red Dao are two of the most distinctive ethnic groups in Sapa. Both live in villages near Sapa, so this will be a great opportunity to learn about their traditional lifestyle.

The Black Hmong are well-known for their vibrant costumes, and around the village, you may observe ladies dressed in traditional clothes. Meanwhile, the Red Dao people are well-known for their elaborate embroidery, and the village has some stunning examples of their creations.

It is highly recommended to spend some time strolling through both villages and interacting with the locals, who may provide you with a guided tour of Sapa. You can even pick up a few words in their language in addition to getting a unique insight of their culture.

Visit Sapa market for traditional handicrafts created by local people

Coming to Sapa without learning about its culture would be a big mistake because the beauty of Sapa is also created from the diversity of ethnic groups and their own customs.

With limited time, it will be challenging to gain a thorough understanding of each culture.

Traditional markets in Sapa, however, still can bring you the opportunity to learn some characteristics of each ethnic group.

Clothes, bowls, chopsticks, and other items that present their culture can be found easily here. You also can buy some handicraft souvenirs when walking around the market.

Attend a traditional festival with the locals and you will be astonished by the distinctive features of their customs.

For the ethnic minorities residing in Sapa and Lao Cai, the Sapa love market is a typical cultural aspect. This is the place where a boy and a girl can declare their love for one another.

Every Saturday night, trumpets and occasionally music can be heard at the Sapa love market. You will witness boys blowing trumpets, while girls are wearing national costumes, holding umbrellas, dancing gracefully to the music.

After expending all your energy on a variety of activities, try some of the grilled foods on the street. It’s ideal to enjoy some hot food because Sapa’s weather is likewise somewhat chilly and foggy. There are many different kinds of stalls, including pork, fish, veggies, and beef, so don’t worry about your pick.

Can I do a day trip to Sapa from Hanoi?

If you are in Hanoi, it’s well-worth visiting Sapa, a stunning town in the northwest of Vietnam. Although there are numerous ways to travel from Hanoi to Sapa in a single day, the most convenient one is to book a tour.

When is the ideal time of year to spend a day in Sapa?

The answer depends on what you want to see and experience while in Sapa.

The greatest time to see the rice fields is in late September or early October, when the rice is harvested and the terraces are at their most picturesque.

But, April through May is the best time to visit if you prefer hiking and taking in the breathtaking surroundings because of the pleasant weather and less rain.

Hanoi to Sapa

Best options, other options, hanoi to sapa schedule, how to get to sapa from hanoi.

There are two major ways to travel from Hanoi to Sapa , namely by train or by bus. There is no airport in the region, so your choice is limited to overland means of transportation.

The overnight railway route to Sapa is one of the most popular routes in the country. It is operated both by ordinary Vietnamese Railway carriages and more luxurious private trains which offer both a more expensive and more comfortable alternative. Trains operate between Hanoi and Lao Cai station, about 35 km from Sapa. If travelling by train, you will then need to hire a taxi or jump onto a bus to cover this final leg. Train tickets sell out quickly, so it is a good idea to book your ticket online as early as possible if you have travel dates fixed.

Hanoi to Sapa bus companies often offer pickup from the Old Quarter and around Hoan Kiem Lake. Buses of some companies depart from the Old Quarter. In Sapa, they bring passengers to different location around town. Buses make multiple trips per day between Hanoi and Sapa. They take the fastest time to get from Hanoi to Sapa and are very budget-friendly but not always that comfortable. Buses offer the widest choice of departure time throughout the day, too.

How far is from Hanoi to Sapa?

The overland distance from Hanoi to Sapa is 315 km. Sapa is located northwest of the capital in the mountainous area of Lao Cai province.

How long does it take to get from Hanoi to Sapa?

Hanoi to Sapa travel time normally lies within five and a half and 9 hours range. Buses travel faster, while trains are slower, require a taxi or a shuttle bus ride to cover the final leg of the journey but offer more comfort. Trains normally need from seven and a half to eight and a half hours to reach Lao Cai. From Lao Cai train station, it is another hour–90 minutes to Sapa by taxi or public shuttle bus. If travelling from Hanoi to Sapa by bus, duration of your trip is likely to be between five and a half and seven and a half hours.

How much does it cost to get from Hanoi to Sapa?

Ticket prices from Hanoi to Sapa differ greatly depending on the means of transport and the class of your travel. Ordinary or semi-sleeper buses cost USD12-USD14. They feature three rows of soft berth instead of seats where you can only lie but not sit. VIP buses offer soft reclining seats and enough legroom. These ones are more expensive: be ready to pay between USD16 and USD20 per seat. First class sleepers in Vietnam Railways trains start at USD20-25 for a berth in a closed compartment for four passengers. Luxury private trains that are essentially separate carriages attached to the same Vietnam Railways train, offer private compartments for two (first class sleeper) or four passengers (VIP sleeper). For a first class sleeper, you’ll need to shell out about USD35-USD40. A VIP sleeper will set you back about USD70 and USD80 in media, though some companies, e.g. Victoria Express, charge twice as much for both options.

Traveling during the rainy season of your destination may seem challenging, but it offers unique experiences and beauty that are often overlooked. In some places, the rainy season is also known as the "monsoon season." You might wonder why travelers choose to travel during this time.

Traveling during the rainy season not only offers great deals but also allows you to experience the culture like a local. With fewer tourists around, you can immerse yourself in the traditions of the country and its people. However, preparation is essential for a trip during the rainy season.

How to Get to Sapa

The first step to experiencing the beauty of Sapa is knowing how to get there. There are a few transportation options available to get to Sapa, providing you with transportation options and routes to ensure a smooth journey.

Located high up in the mountains and without an airport, Sapa is reachable only by road. The most common route from Hanoi is by overnight train, offering a scenic and relaxing journey. Alternatively, with the opening of a new highway in 2014, traveling to Sapa by bus has become a faster option.

1. By Train

Traveling by train to Sapa takes around 8-9 hours, with the train stopping only in Lao Cai, the province where Sapa is located. It then takes about an hour to reach Sapa from Lao Cai station.

Several tourist trains operate the route from Hanoi, each with carriages attached to the national train carrier. It's recommended to book your ticket in advance, especially during peak times such as Thursdays and Fridays from Hanoi to Lao Cai, and Sundays and Mondays from Lao Cai to Hanoi. These times are busy due to local tourists heading for weekend getaways and the Sunday market fair in Bac Ha attracting many visitors.

The trains usually depart between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM, allowing you to enjoy a good sleep before waking up to the beautiful mountain scenery at dawn. There are also day trains available, although they are less comfortable and make more stops, resulting in a longer travel time. Night train tickets range from $35 to $180 per person per way, with the most expensive option being the Victoria Express, exclusively for in-house guests. Day train tickets cost between $10 and $20 per person per way.

To reach Sapa by bus, several reputable bus companies operate routes from Hanoi and other major cities to Sapa. Some recommended bus companies include:

- Sapa Express

- Green Bus

- Inter Bus Lines

- Queen Café Bus

- Ha Son - Hai Van

Bus fares range from $8 to $22 (180,000 VND to 500,000 VND), depending on the chosen bus company and the time of ticket purchase.

These bus companies offer various options in terms of comfort and price. Before booking your bus tickets, it's essential to check the schedules, ticket availability, and customer reviews. The bus journey from Hanoi to Sapa typically takes about 5 hours, although travel times may vary due to road conditions and traffic.

Opting to travel to Sapa by bus at night, around 10 PM, is advisable. This allows you to rest during the journey and arrive early in the morning at your destination, ready to start exploring right away!

3. By Plane

Getting to Sapa via plane involves flying into either Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi or Dien Bien Phu Airport in Dien Bien Province. Once you arrive, your journey to Sapa continues by road, either by bus or taxi.

1. From Hanoi (Noi Bai International Airport): Upon landing at Noi Bai Airport, catch a domestic flight to Lao Cai Airport. Then, it's just an hour's drive from Lao Cai to Sapa, where you can hop on a taxi or bus to reach your destination.

2. From Dien Bien Phu Airport: If you opt for Dien Bien Phu Airport, you'll need to take a bus or taxi from there to Sapa. Keep in mind that this journey may take several hours, so plan accordingly.

The cost of your flight will vary depending on factors like your departure location and the airline you choose. For instance, flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi typically range from approximately $26.00 to $73.48 (600,000 VND to 1,700,000 VND) for direct routes.

While flying to Sapa may not offer a direct route, it can be a convenient option if you prefer air travel or if other transportation methods are limited.

4. Using Private Transfers

Another option to reach Sapa is through private transfers, including taxis, motorbikes, or private cars.

1. Taxi: Hiring a taxi offers direct transportation from your starting point to Sapa, providing convenience and comfort. However, it may be more costly compared to other modes of transport, with prices ranging from 2,540,000 to 4,280,000 VND, depending on the taxi company and seating capacity.

2. Motorbike: For adventurous travelers with motorcycling experience, renting a motorbike is an option. Costs typically range from 80,000 to 130,000 VND per day. However, this option is suitable for experienced riders due to potentially challenging terrain and weather conditions.

3. Private Car: Renting a private car with a driver offers a comfortable and hassle-free transfer to Sapa. Booking in advance from various providers allows flexibility and scenic enjoyment during the journey. Prices usually start at 2,200,000 VND per day for a 4-seater.
