Pepper Farm - Hands-on Vietnam Travel – pepper straight from the vine (Source: Internet)Most visitors know Phu Quoc for its white-sand beaches and luxury resorts. But the island’s true soul lies in its fishing villages, century-old fish-sauce factories, pepper plantations, and quiet temples – a living Vietnamese island culture that few tourists ever see.
Legend Travel Group pioneered cultural Vietnam Tours on Phu Quoc more than a decade ago. Every week, small groups of curious travelers leave the resorts behind and dive deep into authentic island life with us – tasting freshly made fish sauce, harvesting pepper with local families, and witnessing sunset prayers at hidden temples.
With only a 10% deposit required (balance due just 30 days before departure), you can secure your spot on the island’s most authentic cultural experience with complete peace of mind.
