You want to zip-line 80 m into darkness and swim through mud that makes you feel 10 again.
You want to camp inside the world’s third-largest cave with only 11 other quiet souls and a million bats at sunset.
You want to crawl through jungle tunnels used in the war.

And you want a private tent when you need quiet.

That’s exactly what Legend Travel Group delivers.

70–80 % of our cave tour guests travel solo – meaning the moment you put on your headlamp, you’re already with your crew.

All adventures: max 12 travelers • 70–80 % solo • professional cave guides • daily departures

Every single departure has multiple solo travelers – you will never explore alone unless you choose to.
