500 steps, zero regrets – best morning of your Vietnam Travel! (Source: Internet)Just 90 minutes south of Hanoi lies Vietnam’s inland “Ha Long Bay” – a surreal landscape of limestone karsts, emerald rice fields, hidden caves, and ancient temples.
Legend Travel Group pioneered social day-hikes and multi-day adventures here so solo travelers can experience Ninh Binh’s magic together – no awkward solo moments, just instant friends and epic memories.
Every single day, dozens of solo travelers from Hanoi’s top social hostels meet up, jump on our comfortable minivan, and spend the day laughing, hiking, swimming, and exploring together. This is Vietnam Travel at its most social and fun!
500 steps to the famous “Dragon Viewpoint” at sunrise, followed by a private bamboo boat through three caves. The most Instagrammed hike in Vietnam – and the most social!
Hike to hidden viewpoints, cycle through rural villages, row through secret caves, and finish with a local family lunch. Voted “Best Day Ever” by 9 years running by our guests.
Moderate jungle hike to see endangered langurs, visit 1,000-year-old trees, and cool off in natural pools – perfect for nature-loving solo travelers.
Quiet kayak through wetlands, short hike to a secret cave, then watch the golden sunset over the karsts – incredibly romantic for new hostel friendships!
The ultimate “off-the-beaten-track” hike with swimming in a turquoise lake surrounded by cliffs – only Legend Travel Group brings solo travelers here.
