The star of every Mekong social dinner (Source: Internet)There is no better way to experience the real Vietnam than sharing a table with new friends under the stars in the Mekong Delta. Every evening on our Vietnam Tours becomes a celebration: huge family-style spreads of fresh river fish, caramelized pork, elephant-ear fish, spring rolls, and endless rice – all served with ice-cold beers and stories that last a lifetime.
Legend Travel Group pioneered social dinners for solo travelers in the Mekong back in 2008. Today, hundreds of independent explorers join our small groups every week, turning strangers into travel families over shared plates and sunset views.
Board a traditional wooden boat at golden hour, cruise past floating markets, then anchor for a private candle-lit dinner on the water. Fresh seafood BBQ, unlimited drinks, and live Vietnamese music – exclusively for our solo travelers.
Stay with a local family in their stilt house and help prepare (or just enjoy!) a massive dinner: coconut candy making, elephant-ear fish grilling, and fresh tropical fruit straight from their garden. The best night of every Vietnam Tours itinerary.
Start your day watching sunrise at Vietnam’s biggest floating market, then end it with a riverside dinner featuring giant river prawns and local rice wine – all shared with your new travel crew.
Motorbike to a hidden island only Legend Travel Group knows. Private beach BBQ, bonfire, unlimited drinks, and stargazing – regularly voted “best night ever” by our guests.
