Authentic 2-Day Sapa Trekking with Local Black Hmong & Homestay





Description
This is the real local guide trekking tour, authentic experience led by a local Black Hmong guide who was born and raised in the mountains of Sapa. The journey includes an overnight stay with my own family, offering guests a rare opportunity to live, eat, and connect with local people in a genuine way. During the trek, guests travel through remote villages, rice terraces, bamboo forests, and mountain trails that are far from mass tourism routes. Along the way, you will learn about daily life, farming traditions, local customs, and the challenges of living in the highlands. Sharing home-cooked meals, listening to local stories, and spending the night in a family homestay create meaningful cultural exchanges that cannot be experienced on standard tours. This experience is designed for travelers who value authenticity, human connection, and a deeper understanding of local culture rather than just sightseeing.

I’ve had the best 2 days trekking with Lala and Su. They are amazing guides and their knowledge and humour made the trip! The views and route were incredible and spending time in the home stay with them and their children was so nice. They were both so welcoming and chatty, which made the whole experience so personal. The homestay is so clean and cosy and has great facilities. The food was delicious too! Thank you again, this has been one of my favourite experiences of my trip!
I have been wanting to do LaLa's Trekking experience ever since I stubbled upon their Instagram page! We did the 2 day trekking and homestay with Lala's family and I highly recommend! Honestly it is such a great experience. I invited some friends I made while travelling and we all loved it! Lala and her husband Su are lovely showing us their village and way of life. They guided us around beautiful rice and corn fields, amazing landscapes , rain or shine its still beautiful. Also welcoming us into their home, cooking us delicious food and one too many happy waters, ending up with an evening full of laughter :) so thanks again for such a great experience !!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! It means so much that you chose to trek with us after finding us on Instagram. We’re so happy you enjoyed our family, the food, the beautiful landscapes, and of course the happy water! 😊 We hope to welcome you back to Sapa again one day.
Me and my partner had a brilliant experience with La La and her husband. The weather took a turn on the first day, but La La adapted the trek so it felt safe and a little less intense while it was absolutely chucking it down with rain, which we really appreciated. It was amazing to walk through Sapa, taking in the landscape, the villages, the rice fields and all the different elements along the way. What really stood out was the hospitality. It was clear that La La and her family have so much experience in making people feel comfortable and at home. From start to finish, everything felt well planned, well communicated and properly thought through, especially compared to some of the other trekking tours we found online. We’d 100% recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sapa. A proper highlight of our time in Vietnam. 10/10.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your time with us, even with the rainy weather. It means a lot to hear that you felt safe, welcomed, and at home with our family. We hope to see you again in Sapa one day! 😊
Lala and Su (and family and neighbors) are the most welcoming hosts! We went in June which is low season for Sapa trekking but this made it all the better in our eyes. It ended up being a private trek for my friend and I. We felt comfortable asking Su and Lala many questions about their culture, their lives, Vietnamese history, etc all the while enjoying the beautiful dragon mountain, bamboo forest and rice paddy fields. Not to mention the dinner and pancake breakfast at the home stay was delicious. Lala and Su’s kids were adorable! Lala can definitely drink you under the table in happy water drinking games but totally optional activity. This was our complete favorite experience in Sapa and top 2 in Vietnam! If you are planning to do an overnight trek in Sapa you should 100% book with Lala and Su (almost more reasonably priced than other operators I saw!)
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the trek, our family, the food, and the beautiful nature of Sapa. It was a pleasure sharing our culture with you. We hope to welcome you back again one day! 😊
Lala and Su are great trekking guides and their home stay was absolutely lovely. Would 10/10 recommend it.
Thank you so much
This trek was honestly my best moment in Vietnam! I recommend this trek to everyone. Lala and her family are simply incredible. They are reliable! I booked the trek with an overnight stay. Everything was perfect. The room was clean and the food was delicious!
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you had such a great experience with us and enjoyed the overnight stay, food, and time with our family. Hope to see you again in Sapa😊 La La
It’s was a really good experience, the homestay was really nice, first good experience with happy water
Thank you so much
We were a group of 10 participants, all French and French, with the exception of a couple of Canadians. Everyone got along very well: the first day guided by Lala through the mountain trails in beautiful landscapes. Housed at his homestay. Delicious dinner then very fun games. The next day it was Su her husband who took us to see the rice terraces. He and Lala are great. And I have a memorable memory of this trek. I highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind review We’re very happy you enjoyed the trekking, the homestay, and the time with our family. Thank you for your lovely words about me and Su – it means a lot to us. Hope to see you again in Sapa! 😊 LaLa & Su
Our day trekking tour with LaLa was one of my favorite experiences I’ve done in Vietnam! She truly makes the experience incredible with a high level of English, so we were able to ask lots of questions about life/culture in the mountains of Northern Vietnam. We were a group of 3 and joined 2 others, which was the perfect size to get an intimate experience. We had some cloudy weather, but LaLa did an incredible job of keeping us entertained and informed about what we would be seeing if it was more clear. We wished we had booked a night or two to stay at her Homestay, so we would love to return someday!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the trekking experience and that we could share more about the culture and life in the mountains with you. Even with the cloudy weather, I’m glad we could still make the day fun and meaningful together. Next time, you must come back and stay at our homestay – I promise the experience will be even more special with a full evening, dinner, and happy water with the family 😊 Thank you again, and we would love to welcome you back to Sapa anytime! Warm wishes LaLa & Su
We loved this experience with Lala, the atmosphere was great.
Thank you so much I’m really happy you loved the experience and enjoyed the atmosphere with us. It was a pleasure to have you, and you are always welcome back to Sapa anytime La La
