Spontaneous = legendary (Source: Internet)You want to wake up in Hoi An and decide at 10 a.m. that today you feel like a cooking class with 11 other fun humans.
Or spend three days cycling solo in the Mekong Delta, then suddenly crave a sunset cruise with new friends.
That’s exactly what “Optional Group Extensions” give you.
Core itinerary = 100 % independent.
Extensions = jump-on/jump-off small-group adventures whenever the mood strikes.
70–80 % of Legend guests travel solo and use this exact system.
