This is why we travel solo (Source: Internet)The Mekong Delta at twilight is already magical – golden rivers, swaying palms, and the gentle hum of life on the water.
Add hundreds of glowing lanterns floating into the sky and river… and you have pure wonder.
Our Vietnam Tours with lantern releases in the Mekong are created for solo travelers who want to share this heart-melting moment with like-minded souls. Small groups (max 12 guests), private wooden boats, and carefully timed departures so you’re surrounded by lanterns – not tourists.
Make a wish. Light your lantern. Release it with someone who, five minutes ago, was a stranger and tomorrow will be a friend.
Since 2008, thousands of guests have told us their lantern night in the Mekong was the single most emotional moment of their entire Vietnam trip.
