Frequently asked questions
Which tickets do I need to buy?
Cat Cat Village and Moana have their own entrance tickets, paid on the day. Your guide will help you buy them.
Will the guide take photos of me?
Yes — our guides know the best spots and are happy to take photos with your phone or camera.
Do I need a driving licence?
No. You ride as a passenger behind a professional local rider, so no licence or riding experience is needed. Helmets are provided.
Is riding on the mountain roads safe?
Our female riders grew up on these roads and ride at a relaxed pace. Helmets are provided and must be worn. Please tell us about any back or neck problems before booking, and contact us first if travelling with young children — the Jeep tours are often a better fit.
Where does the tour start?
All Sapa tours start and finish at Sapa Stone Church in the town centre. If you stay in central Sapa, add your hotel name when booking and we can pick you up.
How much do children pay?
Children aged 5–8 pay 75% of the adult price and children under 5 are free. For motorbike tours, please message us before booking with young children so we can advise on the safest option.
Can I change my date or cancel?
Deposits are non-refundable, but you can move your tour to another date, subject to availability.
Do I have to pay now?
Send a booking request for free. A small deposit secures your spot; the rest is paid on the tour day in cash (USD or VND) or by bank transfer.
What happens if it rains?
If we have to cancel your tour because the weather makes it unsafe, you can move it to another date free of charge or choose a full refund. If the tour goes ahead and you decide not to join because of the weather, the deposit is not refundable, but you can still change your date.
