Things to do in Mui Ne Sand Dunes

Definitely a must-do activity in vietnam! Not only is Mui Ne a peaceful and beautiful place, but it also offers countless of sightseeing locations around the area. Our driver, Bin, made the whole journey really enjoyable with his hospitality and patience with us as we ventured through each location on our own! Will 100% come back again to explore more of the area, the perfect beachy getaway! Everything captured on camera is only 10% of the beauty of it in real life. Truly a wonderful experience!

The white dunes, red dunes, fishing boat viewpoint, and Fairy Stream are all much further apart than one might imagine, and I felt that this tour was essential for such a smooth experience. Our driver, Khoa, was very reliable and kind. He answered all our questions and took wonderful photos for us, which truly made the trip enjoyable and helpful.

What a fun day with Johnny tours in Mui Ne! Great communication and super helpful. The sleeper bus was super comfy on the way there for the 3 hour ride. Once we arrived we were given refreshments and details of the day and we were able to get lunch around the corner. First to fairy stream, which was pretty random but refreshing walking though the fresh water but be careful! It can be very uneven! When we finished up we had a drink included before going to the fishing village which was a nice little stop off. Then off we went to the white sand dunes to do ATV, which is optional and we did! Was so much fun! Afterwards we went to the red dunes to see the sunset, which we got to see a little before the clouds came over. We went back to the office and had dinner which we had the choice of banh mi or rice dish. Then back on another sleeper bus, which was a bit tighter this time but it did the job! Overall, I highly recommend!

Tour guide Seven provided attentive service (assisting with taking photos and answering various questions from tourists), gave English explanations that were simple and easy to understand, allowed plenty of time at each attraction, and provided a nutritious and delicious lunch (dietary restrictions were surveyed on the bus beforehand to help the restaurant prepare). Before departure, the travel agency also communicated thoroughly, which reduced traveler anxiety. The first stop was the White Sand Dunes, where we visited a park with optional recreational facilities (riding in a jeep, driving an ATV, riding a camel for 10 minutes, etc.). The second stop was the roadside Red Sand Dunes, the third stop for lunch was Vietnamese seafood cuisine, the fourth stop involved wading and trekking up a small stream to see unique landscapes (about 2 kilometers round trip, with soft, fine sand in the water; try to avoid stepping on or near rocks, and sometimes thorny plants appear by the stream so just avoid touching them and walk slowly and it will be very safe), and the fourth stop (noted as fourth in sequence) at the roadside seawall featured colorful wave breakers and basket boats.

They were very efficient in getting us around! The White Sand Dunes were the main attraction, so we spent a longer time there. The kids seemed to have a lot of fun sledding while we enjoyed the beautiful sunrise. Since we had small children, we opted for the jeep option to travel within the dunes instead of the buggy. It was helpful that the jeep we arrived in took us directly to the main spot! (Walking is quite strenuous, and booking on-site can be expensive, so definitely add the buggy or jeep option.) Afterward, we visited the Red Sand Dunes, Fishing Village, and Fairy Stream, but personally, I felt that the White Sand Dunes and Fairy Stream were sufficient. If you want to compare the colors of the dunes, you might visit the Red Sand Dunes, but the Fishing Village just smelled bad and wasn't really worth going to. I'm glad we booked this tour because they were flexible in adjusting the itinerary to our requests!

Great experience! Mui Ne is a spectacular place but really unfortunate that the weather was not on our side. It was raining throughout and we didn’t get to see the sunset. Nevertheless, our guide, Nam, was friendly and communicated well in English. He taught us the different poses for pictures and all of them were taken beautifully!

The tour guide was extremely polite and punctual, attentive throughout the journey, and even proactively helped us over more difficult terrain, which made us feel very secure. In addition, the guide took great photos and helped us capture many wonderful pictures. Both the driver and the tour guide were very friendly. The round-trip drive from Nha Trang to Mui Ne takes nearly seven hours, which can be quite tiring, but the entire itinerary was arranged so smoothly that we were able to easily make the round trip to Mui Ne in a single day. The meals were also delicious, the overall experience was extremely pleasant, and we are truly grateful to the driver and tour guide for taking such good care of us along the way!

our guide Le was amazing. we have lots of fun. will definitely recommend if you have an extra day in HCMC to travel out to muine. super nice lunch provided with praying space.

Phan Thiet was a nice stopover with delicious food. Our guide was very friendly, and the dunes were beautiful. A great day trip from Ho Chi Minh City!
