    Why Ha Long Bay is the #1 Bucket-List Item for Solo Travelers

    My cabin, my rulesMy cabin, my rules (Source: Internet)

    2,000 limestone islands rising from emerald water.
    Sunrise mist that makes you forget your phone exists.
    Kayaking into hidden lagoons where it’s just you and the echo of your paddle.

    Now imagine doing it all with 12–18 other independent travelers who become your instant cruise family – while still having your own private space.

    That’s why 70–80 % of Legend Travel Group Ha Long Bay guests travel solo.
