Bus to Sapa
VIP-Bus or Limousine-Bus
If you’re looking for the fastest way to travel between Hanoi and Sapa, the bus is your best option. The journey takes 5-6 hours, depending on traffic. Morning buses leave Hanoi and arrive in Sapa early afternoon, giving you time for a short trek to your homestay on the same day. After your trek, the return bus will pick you up directly from our office and take you back to Hanoi.
The bus makes two scheduled stops along the way, each lasting 15-30 minutes, where you can use the restroom and buy food. The drivers are experienced, and the route follows a newly built highway, but traffic conditions in Vietnam can still be unpredictable.
Please note that while Sapa Sisters arranges bus tickets for your convenience, we do not operate the buses and cannot guarantee their quality.
