What to do in Mui Ne
There’s plenty to do in Mui Ne and around Phan Thiet, so here’s a list of most, but definitely not all of the things to do.
White Sand Dunes – Đồi Cát Trắng
Mui Ne area is unique because of its interesting landscape. You’re able to see dunes everywhere. One of the most famous ones are the White Sand Dunes. They’re pretty big, compared to the Red ones, and are about a 40 minute drive away and the best time to visit is for sunrise.
Best time to visit: sunrise
How to get there: follow the road along the coast to the north-east for 40 minutes
Entrance fee: free
Tips: If you stay a tiny bit longer after sunrise, you will have the whole place for yourself, as all the tours will leave. That is also the time when you can enjoy the dunes without countless super-loud quads tearing them up.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that you need to ride a quad to explore the dunes. You can easily do it on foot and also get some exercise in.
Quads are many times in bad condition and you are not allowed to drive them yourself, so you essentially pay a lot for someone to take you around on one.
