Ho Chi Minh City to Mui Né Sand Dunes Adventure

At 7:30 AM, we will pick you up from your hotel in District 1 and depart for Mui Né.

The journey from District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, takes approximately 3.5 to 4 hours.

Arrive in Mui Né at 11:00 AM and visit Fairy Stream (Suoi Tien), where a small stream runs through the middle of the red sand dunes. It is like a mini version of the Red Canyon.

After lunch, we continue the tour.

Visit Mui Né Fishing Village and observe the daily lives of the fishermen as the catch is hauled to shore and fishing boats line the waterfront.

At 3:00 PM, visit the Red Sand Dunes, a great opportunity for photos as the red color of the sand creates a strong contrast with the surrounding scenery.

At 4:00 PM, visit the White Sand Dunes.

The White Sand Dunes in Mui Né, Vietnam, are a mesmerizing natural wonder and are considered the main highlight of this tour.

Sculpted Sand: rolling hills of fine, powdery sand shaped by the wind.

Lotus Lake: an adjacent oasis with serene reflections.

Adventure: car or jeep rides on the sand are included, and you will not pay extra to explore the white sand.

Contrasting Colors: white sand set against the deep blue sky.

Photogenic: perfect for captivating photos.

At 5:00 PM, we transfer back to Ho Chi Minh City and arrive at your hotel at around 8:30 PM. Tour ends.
