Every solo traveler plants 10 trees – real impact (Source: Internet)The Mekong Delta is Vietnam’s green soul – endless rice paddies, floating markets, hidden canals, and warm village communities living in harmony with the river. For solo travelers who care about the planet and crave authentic connections, there is simply no better destination.
Legend Travel Group created the very first Vietnam Tours dedicated to eco solos in the Mekong. Every departure is capped at 12 travelers, uses reusable bottles only, supports family homestays, plants mangrove trees, and removes plastic from the waterways. You travel light, leave light, and return home with lifelong friends.
