Mountain biking
If you find it bored to walk around Sapa, you can ride a bike through mountains for Sapa adventure. I guess some will say that it’s only for professional bikers. Yes and no. If you choose the difficult route with hard rocks, mud and gravels, you need training like a professional one. But you only want to ride around the villages and from one destination to the others, you just need to know how to ride a bike.
There are lots of shops in Sapa town where you can hire a bike with 1 or 2$ per day. Check your rental bike carefully before take it and enjoy your riding.
Riding motorbike
This activity doesn’t require you lots of physical conditions but your skills. Sometimes, especially after raining, the road is really slippery so you need to ride carefully and skillful to handle some situations.

You definitely should try this if you want to have a true Sapa adventure. It’s the herbal bath therapy of Dao people in Sapa. The elements for this therapy are only found in mountainous areas. After being selected carefully, they are mixed with different amount and boiled in 3 or 4 hours to extract their essence. This therapy can eliminate you stress, tiredness and release your tight muscles. To fully enjoy Sapa adventure, you shouldn’t miss it.
Homestay in Sapa
Instead of having chosen a hotel, we chose homestay for our 2 nights in Sapa. I think it’s also the way for Sapa adventure when you live with a local family, eat, sleep, work like them. Last time, I spent 2 hours on my host family rice fields trying to grow rice. And you also have chance to enjoy their traditional dishes with unique ingredients and favors.
Visit love market in Sapa
As you know, market is place for people buying and selling things. Therefore, lots of people flock into local weekly markets to meet each other. The young have chance to communicate with others by participating in public activities like playing traditional games, playing leaf-horns, singing or dancing,… Through these activities they might find out their partner and in the future they may become husband and wife.
I would say that joining love markets in Sapa is not an activity that can provoke your adrenaline. It’s a Sapa adventure to its culture, to the daily life of locals. And it’s also a chance for you to enjoy the purest ethnic custom.
