Here, you can snap some amazing photos, and if you’re up for it, hop on an ATV or a JEEP for a thrilling ride. We won’t stop there, next on red sand dunes. These dunes offer an incredible spot for outdoor activities, painting the sky in breathtaking hues.

This tour itinerary is not fixed. You may please confirm your schedule after the booking.
Arriving in Muine, our Muine tour begins with a visit to the enchanting Red Sand Dunes, which is also known by many other names, such asGolden Sand Hill, Pink Sand Hill. Because the sand here changes at different times of the day. At dawn, the sunlight shines on the sand, turning it pink, while at dusk it dyes the entire sand red. This color is due to the phenomenon of light reflection combined with ancient iron ore lying under the sand. In addition, the terrain here also changes constantly with the wind, so in the eyes of many tourists,Red Sand Hillhas a unique wavy shape.
After the morning's trip, it’s time for a lunch break at a local restaurant. Muine’s coastal location means seafood is a must-try here.
Whether you can try grilled fresh squid, seafood hotpot, or the freshest catch of the day, you’re in for a treat.
This lunch isn't only a way to get energy for the afternoon; it's also a chance to try the local food, enjoy Vietnamese hospitality, and maybe talk to other visitors about the morning's adventures and the sites still to come.
Fairy Stream is the next location after lunchtime. Called a stream, but in fact, this is a small stream, hidden behind a sand hill so not everyone knows.
In recent years, this stream has been passed around by word of mouth because of its beauty, which is likened to a fairyland. Indeed, unlike any other stream in our country, Mui Ne Fairy Stream stands out with its red-orange water dyed with the color of sand.
After the first 300m, the fairyland appears before your eyes. Adding to the red glow of the stream are sand columns carved and polished by the hands of the “water craftsman”.
They create strangely shaped stalactites, sometimes like giant reliefs, changing with the flow of water.
Therefore, if you have the opportunity to return to Suoi Tien, you will have a feeling of freshness as if you had come here for the first time.
Our afternoon Muine Sand Dunes Tour A Day From Ho Chi Minh takes you to the White Sand Dunes, a landscape that echoes the vastness of a desert.
Discover the magical beauty of Bau Trang - Mui Ne, and you will be captivated at first sight by the endless dunes stretching under the sunlight. The immense dunes, the vast blue lake, and the high sky will create a scene for you to check in for impressive "virtual life".
In the local language, “bàu” means lake. Bau Trang used to be a large lake, but was dammed by local people across it to create a path. This large lake is divided into Bau Ông and Bau Bà.
Bau Ba has an area of 70 hectares, larger than Bau Ong. The average depth of Bau Ba is 5m, and the deepest point can reach 19m during the rainy season. The widest area of Bau Ba can reach up to 500m. With its location between white sand dunes, Bau Ba is now called Bau Trang.
Spend the late afternoon at Muine Beach. Nestled on the long stretches of white sand, blending with the sunny and windy nature, Mui Ne appears gentle and peaceful.
With the murmuring waves and the surrounding curved coconut trees, that beauty becomes more impressive and unforgettable than ever.
Mui Ne is most beautiful in the last months of the year. The weather is clear, the air is peaceful and cool. This is also the time that attracts the most tourists in the year.
Around 19h30 - 20h00pm, you will arrive at your hotel. Before the end tour, our driver and guide will check the vehicle to make sure nothing is left behind by you. Then say goodbye and see you on the next trip.

Best time to visit
Mui Ne, a coastal town known for its breathtaking sand dunes, offers a landscape that feels otherworldly. The sand dunes, both red and white, are a must-visit for any traveler. However, to fully see their beauty and join the array of activities available, the best time to visit is crucial. Please read the tips below now:
Seasons Throughout the Year
Muine experiences a tropical climate with two main seasons: the dry season and the wet season. The dry season runs from November to April and is characterized by hot, sunny days, making it perfect for visiting the dunes.
The wet season, from May to October, sees more rainfall and cooler temperatures, which can add a different vibe to the dunes but might make some outdoor activities less accessible.
The best time to visit Muine Sand Dunes is during the dry season, particularly from December to February. During these months, the weather is cooler and more comfortable for exploring the outdoors. Early morning or late afternoon visits are recommended to avoid the midday heat and to catch the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that paint the dunes in vibrant colors.
Besides, the wet season in Mui Ne runs from May to October, with the heaviest rains typically occurring between July and September. During this period, frequent and heavy rainfall can make visits to the sand dunes less enjoyable.
What to eat in Muine?
Muine’s culinary scene is as diverse as its landscapes, offering an array of local and seafood specialties. Must-try dishes include:
Bánh Canh Chả Cá: A thick noodle soup with fish patties, perfect for a hearty breakfast.
Seafood: Freshly caught seafood like crabs, squids, and shrimp grilled to perfection.
Bánh Mì: Vietnamese sandwiches filled with a variety of meats, vegetables, and sauces, making for a quick and tasty meal.
Bánh Khọt: These small, crispy pancakes made from rice flour and coconut milk are a delight. In Mui Ne, they’re often filled with seafood like shrimp or squid and served with fresh herbs and a sweet-spicy dipping sauce.
Dragon Fruit: Muine is known for its dragon fruit farms, so don’t miss trying this sweet, refreshing fruit fresh from the source.
Transportation Options
Getting to and around Muine is straightforward, with several options available:
Bus: Regular buses connect Ho Chi Minh City to Muine, offering a convenient way to reach the town.
Motorbike Rental: Renting a motorbike is a popular choice for getting around Muine, giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace.
Taxi: Available for easy travel within Muine, especially useful for reaching different parts of the sand dunes.
Bicycle: For shorter distances or leisurely exploration, bicycles can be rented from many hotels and shops in the area.
Here are some straightforward tips to ensure you’re comfortably prepared for your tour in Muine.
Light and Breathable Clothing: The weather in Muine is generally warm and sunny, so opt for light, airy fabrics that keep you cool. Cotton or linen shirts, shorts, and dresses are ideal.
Comfortable Footwear: Depending on your activities, footwear can range from flip-flops for the beach to sturdy shoes for exploring the sand dunes or hiking.
Hat and Sunglasses: Protect yourself from the sun with a wide-brimmed hat and UV-protection sunglasses. The sun can be quite strong, especially on the sand dunes and at the beach.
Swimwear: Don’t forget your swimsuit for those beach days and water activities. A cover-up or sarong can also be handy for quick transitions from the beach to a restaurant or shop.
Sunscreen: A high SPF sunscreen is a must to protect your skin from the sun’s rays. Reapply throughout the day, especially after swimming.
Water Bottles: Carry water bottles to stay hydrated throughout the day. It’s easy to get dehydrated in the heat, especially when you’re out exploring.

FAQs
As travel agents, we frequently receive a variety of questions before the trip-planning process even begins. Everything from the best period to book to determining if travel insurance is worth it. We love being able to share our professional expertise and personal experience with our clients, offering them confidence that their holiday will be nothing less than exciting.
While it may seem too early to plan a holiday, it's always a good idea to research travel tour prices ahead of time and book as soon as a suitable offer has been identified. "When it comes to the winter holidays from October to February in the next year—the priciest time of the year—your best bet is to book the tour service before this period," according to my own experience. "Look to book between one to two months ahead for domestic travel and two to 6 months ahead for international travel."
It is a good idea to check if you need a visa for Vietnam before applying for one, since this will save you both time and money, especially in times of crisis.
According to official announcements, residents of 25 countries will be able to travel to Vietnam and stay for 14 to 45 days (depending on nationality) without requiring a visa beginning in 2024.
To enter Vietnam, such citizens just require a valid passport with at least two black pages. The complete list of these countries can be found this link : //www.vietnam-visa.com/vietnam-visa-exemption/
