Ought To You Trouble Visiting The Mui Ne Sand Dunes In Vietnam?

Are the Mui Ne sand dunes a spot for a spectacular journey into a wonder of nature? Or are they just a cheesy vacationer trap? Read on to discover the pros and cons of visiting the sand dunes in Mui Ne.


Mui Ne, Vietnam used to be a quiet fishing village about 200 km east of Saigon. Now it's a bustling beach resort, which attracts Vietnamese weekenders from Ho Chi Minh City, Russian, Korean, and Chinese vacationer, and a few backpackers on the Vietnam Open Bus Tour trail.

The other massive tourist activity in Mui Ne is a Mui Ne sand dunes tour.

There are two units of Mui Ne dunes: the white sand dunes and the red sand dunes. You may probably guess what colour every of them is!

The white sand dunes Mui Ne are an unlimited expanse of white sand, sculpted into rolling dunes by the ever-altering winds.

The red dunes, despite their placing color, are less impressive. Families with young children will benefit from the probability to fling themselves down the red dunes on plastic toboggans though.

Most individuals visit on a gaggle tour arranged at their Mui Ne hostel or hotel in Mui Ne and we did the same. But, as we found out, we might in all probability have enjoyed the mui ne red sand dunes tour Ne sand dunes if we had chosen differently.

Take a Private Mui Ne Tour
For one of the best experience of the sand dunes, don’t book into a gaggle jeep tour with all the other tourists. Should you do, you’ll be caught on someone else’s schedule and end up both waiting or feeling rushed (or each). Our tour started with 20 minutes sitting by the side of the road in Mui Ne — before sunrise — waiting for we-know-not-what.

The wait meant that the motive force careened alongside the roadways and at dangerously high speeds to get us to the dunes for sunrise. We survived, just, but we also missed sunrise by about 20 minutes!

Later, we sat for half an hour on the finish of every tour cease, ready for a couple who decided to ignore the set meeting time and roll in whenever they felt like it. Super annoying!


Skip Sunrise & Sunset on the Mui Ne Sand Dunes
Some travellers swear by their sunrise journey experiences. At touristy places like Angkor Wat, Mount Bromo, and the Mui Ne sand dunes, everybody feels compelled to assemble at these appointed times to look at the sun do the identical thing it does every single day.

Sure, you get lovely light and dramatic pictures. However you also get thrown together with hordes of other tourists who completely highjack and detract from the experience.

I’d fairly have a better experience and worse photos!

(I know that perspective is why we don’t have a million followers on Instagram however it’s true nonetheless).

Arrive about an hour after sunrise, when all the early tourists have gone residence, and you get among the world’s most impressive monuments to yourself. Despite skipping sunrise, we think our pictures in both Angkor Wat and Mount Bromo turned our pretty well!

Don’t Destroy the Dunes
A tour to the white sand dunes only prices a couple of dollars but what no one tells you is that once you arrive at the dunes, just earlier than sunrise, you’ll should pay an additional $10 for a Jeep to drive you throughout the dunes to the best sunrise-viewing spot. If you happen to like, you can even hire a four-wheel ATV to rip up the dunes.

Inactive Module

You should publish modules to the "inactive" position and set the Menus to "All", for them to show up on pages where there is no active menu ID. This is a bug/feature of Joomla that causes only menu items in the "All" setting to show up.
