The Ultimate List Of The Best Things To Do In Mui Ne<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The reason I fell in love with the wide variety of landscapes and things to do in Mui Ne. It is on the main tourist trail in Vietnam, though unless you are 100% confident on a motorbike I would recommend only spending one full day exploring the area. The reason why is that the majority of these things can be done on a tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of hostels and travel agencies will hold twice a day tours to all the highlights, this means to can tick off the top things to do in Mui Ne relatively quickly. Even better is that these tours are incredibly affordable, I booked my sunrise tour with Mui Ne Backpackers Village<\/a> and it only cost $7.00 \/ 160,000 VND!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things To Do In Mui Ne<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fairy Stream<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The gorgeous fairy stream is a must do when in Mui Ne. Wander down through the ankle deep water surrounded by deep orange sand and lush green jungle. Be in awe of the remarkable cliff formations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though, don’t expect much of a waterfall at the other end, especially in the dry season. It is a staple in all the tours listing and is one of the top things to do in Mui Ne. This place is stunning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kite Surfing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are numerous opportunities to go kite surfing in Mui Ne and you will see stores advertising it as you walk alongside the main strip. It is a little more on the pricey side, though compared this western prices you are getting a bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If kite surfing is something you have always wanted to do Mui Ne is the perfect place to give it a go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat Seafood<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lining the streets of the main strip in Mui Ne are the countless seafood vendors and their outdoor restaurants overlooking the ocean. If you are a seafood lover you will be in absolute paradise. Though, if you are more like me you will be holding your breath past each restaurant you walk past, the smell is not one I am found of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can deal with this I highly recommend heading to one of the many restaurants to have a delicious meal while watching the sunset over the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White Sand Dunes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My favorite place and at the top of the list of the best things to do in Mui Ne is definitely the White Sand Dunes. It is the perfect place to watch the sunrise over the ocean. These sand dunes appear a lot larger than the red sand dunes which gives you more opportunities to get away from the crowds and snap that perfect Instagram pic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find perfect areas without any footprints on and the white sand dunes just seem to go on forever. You can also hire quad bikes, though be aware that the smaller ones have less power and therefore it is likely you will get stuck in the sand. I saw it happen plenty times in the hour or so I was there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fishing Village<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Block your nose from this one, because trust me, you will regret it if you don’t, but I surprisingly loved visiting the fishing village in Mui Ne. It is an amazing insight to the daily life for locals who live in the area. Whether that means going out and doing the fishing or sorting the catches, each person has a significant job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beautifully colored boats mixed with the smiles of the locals made this one of my highlights and a strong contender on the top things to do in Mui Ne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Sand Dunes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The gorgeous red sand dunes are a must do when in Mui Ne. They are a lot more touristy than the white sand dunes, though this is because they are super accessible. You can literally step onto it off the main road and there is heaps of parking for large tour buses. There are plenty of opportunity to sand board. Just make sure to agree on a price beforehand, this is how some people make a living.\nA little side note, do not expect the sand dunes to be red as they are more of an orange color. I was disappointed in my visit because of this.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore The Beaches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even though I would not recommend swimming at the beaches off the main strip in Mui Ne<\/a>, if you are confident enough to drive a motorbike there are some beautiful beaches further afield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
