One of Vietnam's treasured cities, Mui Ne is a place full of surprises. Talk a ride in the sand dunes, witness a sunset by the beautiful beach or take a hike amidst the scenic views in this wander lust city. Here's a list of things that you don't want to miss out on while you are at Mui Ne.
As surprising as it sounds, Mui Ne is famous for white sand dunes and you can explore the long stretch of desert sand in a quad bike for a thrilling experience. Renting out a quad bike could be quite expensive so a more budget friendly approach will be taking a walk instead. One way to enjoy a ride in a quad bike is to share it with a group of other travellers so you could split the fee and enjoy the experience for a lesser price. Take this tour in the early hours of the morning to catch a glimpse of the sunrise over the sandy dunes which it will be a sight worth walking up early for.
Another adventurous sport to try in Mui Ne is kite surfing. Mui Ne is widely famous for kite surfing and is considered one of the top spots in Asia for it so you wouldn't want to miss out on this thrilling experience. What's great about kite surfing here is that there are training courses for every level so if you are a newbie you can still take part in it and Mui Ne is the ideal place to start due to its kite surfing friendly wind conditions. The best period for kite surfing in Mui Ne is during the dry season from November to March when the temperature is between 18 to 30 degrees. What better way to enjoy this beautiful city than to sway away in the wind with the waves crashing at your feet?
A vacation without some beach time is not a complete one. Finding a beach in Mui Ne is not a difficult task and will take you very less effort to get to one from your resort in Mui Ne. Mui Ne beach is the main beach in the city which is generally crowded in the early hours of the day. If you are looking for some quiet time by the beach visiting it in the late afternoon is your best bet. You could choose between Hon Rom beach and Suoi Nuoc beach apart from the main one which is both not too far away from the red sand dunes. Anantara Mui Ne resort, a popular luxury resort in the city even offers ocean view rooms and the beach is just a few foot steps away.
If you are looking for some quiet time away from the busy city, the fairy stream is the place to be. Take a small walk along the clear water of the fairy stream surrounded by limestone formations to get your nature fix during your vacation in Mui Ne. Don't forget to snap some pictures while you are here as you can get some Insta worthy shots at the fairy stream. Greenery on your right and rocky limestone at your left the walk along this beautiful stream will lead to a mini waterfall at the very end.
Top off your vacation with a ride in the red sand dunes on a plastic sled that will be offered by the locals. If you've had your fix of adrenaline rush already and is looking for a less daunting experience you could simply talk a walk in the sand and enjoy the scenic views along the way.
