Day 4

Breakfast. We set out on the 4-hour hike. Our driver will make stops along the way so you can take photos as we descend into the Muong Hoa Valley. We will begin the hike on a fairly rocky path (you will need good walking shoes today), passing through the village of Lao Chai, a village of the Black H'mong ethnic group. We will then continue to the village of Ta Van, home to the Giay ethnic minority. The terraced fields are ideal for photography, and cold soft drinks, beer and water can be found along the uphill path to a road where your car will be waiting to take you back to Sapa to rest. We will then take a car from Sapa to visit Fansipan, the highest peak in the mountains of Indochina. Lunch. Accommodation.

We then continue directly to Ha Long. Accommodation.

On arrival, the ship's crew will welcome you and transfer you to the junk to check in and enjoy a cruise on Ha Long Bay with a delicious lunch of local seafood served on board. At the same time, you will be able to gaze at thousands of limestone islands and caves rising from the crystal-clear emerald waters. After lunch, you will take part in some activities on the boat to discover the beauty of Ha Long Bay, such as visiting a cave or enjoying a swim in the sea before returning to the junk to relax and have dinner.
