Cambodia is a country in Southeast Asia, most of which is endless, densely forested plains. Due to frequent rainy seasons, the country’s soils are considered quite fertile. Cambodia is dominated by a tropical climate that makes the weather hot and humid.
The dry season starts in November and lasts until April. It is followed by a period of downpours when the inhabitants of the country start harvesting. The hottest season in Cambodia is the time between April and June, and the coldest is December and January.
The country’s largest river – the Mekong – is characterized by a tranquil flow. Once a year the river sharply changes its direction and reverses. The famous Water Festival equally popular among tourists and Cambodians is held on the day of the flow change.
We spent 3 days exploring beauty of Sapa in November.
Sapa is a lovely and fascinating place to visit. We had an amazing time on our Sapa trek... read more with a great local guide. Fansipan Mountain, Love Waterfall, homestay, trekking, terraced rice fields, the breathtaking view are totally worth seeing.
We booked our trip with Sapa Sunshine Travel. Thanks Sapa Sunshine Travel team for a great trip! If you are planning to go Sapa, I highly recommend them.

Thank you Sapa Sunshine Travel
John is amazing in terms of replying our emails and questions and even checked on us during our stay in Hanoi. Van is always prompt and on time. Our tour... read more guide for 3 days (Ha), is just amazing. He is very knowledgeable and recommends good places to eat. Love the hot pot that he recommended.
Everything was organized and timely. From the pick up at the airport, to the time we were dropped off a week later, our trip was excellent. I highly... read more recommend the company.
When we travel we usually do it all ourselves. When I started to plan I noticed that John from Sapa Sunshine was very generous on the Vietnam forum on... read more TA answering questions and giving suggestions to I contacted him about our trip. I told him when we were coming, generally what our interests were, our physical limitations (nothing serious, just some wonky old age stuff) and said we wanted to see as much of Vietnam as we could.
John came back with an itinerary that was more thorough and interesting than anything we could have done ourselves. We saw Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa, Nam Dinh, Hue, Hoi An and Ho Chi Min City. We were always met at the airport/train station by a guide and checked into our hotel. Our guides, set up by John, were excellent. We were checked in to our hotels and never for a moment did we wonder if our guide or driver would show up when expected. They were always on time.
We travelled 3* hotel and all of them were wonderful. (arranged by SST). All were easily accessible to town and in most cases in town. Our reservations were always correct and although we did live out of suitcases travel was eays.
I honestly cannot say enough good about Sapa Sunshine Travel and John. When we left a piece of equipment in a vehicle in one city he managed to get it delivered to us before we left the country. We thought it was gone.
We had a few questions and slight changes to make while we were travelling and a quick email to John had things arranged for us (we got a day hotel room in Hanoi after the night on the train, before we headed to the airport).
If you are going to Vietnam, talk to John at Sapa Sunshine Travel. Your trip will be better arranged than you can imagine - your personal interests will be covered (we did lots of food tours), and the price will be reasonable - worth every penny.
Thanks to Lucy and John for helping out with our trip. They were very flexible and helped us with our last minute confirmations. All the services were without any problems... read more and run according to the agreed details. Mrs Ngo was wonderful and delivered a great experience in Mekong Delta! The same for Ms La in Sapa. We took 2-day trek with a homestay. Mrs Soi let us feel like at home. At the end of our holiday, we decided to relax on the cruise to Halong bay. The recommended ORiental sail was just great! We got a lot for what we paid. We can recommend this company to everybody. Thank you once again. Radka & Daniela & Betka

For local arrangement we made a deal with Sapa Sunshine Travel. Our experience with them was amazing - just to summarize in one word. Their drivers were always on time at agreed place, their guides were fluent in English, knowledgeable, decent and helpful. We got so much of additional info thanks to them. Whole arrangement was done in very professional way, respecting our needs.
We did such trips before to other countries so we can really compare. Sapa Sunshine did great job and we can only recommend their services.
