From Ho Chi Minh To Mui Ne 12 Hours Trip

Departure: Ho Chi Minh

One of the best day trips out of Ho Chi Minh City (for locals and travelers alike) is Mui Ne, a palm-lined beach town with distinctly Vietnamese vibes. Departing from District 1, your itinerary will be a wild one—picture white sand dunes (where you can hop on a Jeep), lakes, a traditional fishing village, a “fairy stream,” and red sand dunes for one last treat: an exquisite sunset. Discover the natural wonders of Mui Ne on the ultimate desert and coastal adventure! Ride through the spectacular White and Red Sand Dunes, witness an authentic local fishing harbor, and walk barefoot through the magical Fairy Stream canyon. Top off your journey with a scenic beach photo stop and a breathtaking golden sunset over the crimson dunes.
