Ban Mong Alpine Coaster
The Ban Mong Alpine Coaster segment is available as an add-on option or combined with Moana Sapa. It introduces a different style of activity to the day, focused on a ride experience.

Vietnamese set-menu meal
A Vietnamese set-menu meal is part of every variant, organized to match your chosen departure time. The exact slot depends on whether you start in the morning or afternoon.
Features
- Your booking includes a Vietnamese set-menu meal, arranged as lunch or dinner depending on departure, so there is no need to search for a restaurant during the tour.
- Bottled mineral water is included alongside the meal, and your guide confirms whether you dine before or after the trekking and activity segments for afternoon departures.
- Free hotel pickup and drop-off within the central Sapa area are paired with this meal inclusion, so your day begins and ends at your hotel without extra transport planning.
