- O_Coucoo_c_est_moiCergy, France221 contributionsCute without moreNot at all a must! Cute little dunes, nothing more. Interesting in the morning when the sun rises over the sea. In the evening the colors are beautiful but the view is not great! Lots of people because there isn't much to do there. Vietnamese women offer plastic sleds in exchange for a few dongs to go down the dune.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 17, 2024
- RaymondaleKuala Lumpur, Malaysia1,209 contributionsred sand dessert in Mui Nethree weeks ago, i revisited Mui Ne, and joined an half day sunrise tour, red sand dunes is one of my visiting spot. the sand here is red colour, so make it looks like red sand dessert, but not in the middle east.and you can see the sea here, so you can see both the sea and the sand at once here, very special view.i took lots of pics here. it is the second time i visited red sand dunes. the first time i came here around sunset time, it is very beautiful. if you join sunrise tour, you will go to white sand dunes first, if sunset tour, then red sand dunes would be the last spot.Visited September 2024Traveled soloWritten September 29, 2024
- BorntocruiseUKHeathfield, United Kingdom13,745 contributionsIt’s a sand dune!!!!!We did a sunset tour of the red dunes. It’s quite a walk to the top with all the other 100’s of people. Mui Ne was so quiet when we were there but they must have all been on the red dunes. We walked to the top to see the sun fall behind the cloud and that’s where it stayed. So nothing spectacular at at all. Would i recommend it… the jury is out. Fortunately it’s free to get inVisited October 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten October 27, 2024

We did as a part of our sunrise tour. So the sun wasn’t too high and were told the sand dunes turn much redder when the sun is high in the sky. I have grown up in an island so I didn’t think this was amazing.
We spent about 10 minutes walking in them before getting back to the jeep.

Red sand dunes were just okay. Nothing too exciting. White sand dunes were amazing. Highly recommend taking the time and going to them. You can ATV and sand surf at the white ones.

Went to the white dunes from our hotel in Mui Ne. Did the sunrise trip. The jeep which transported us had no seatbelts and bounced all over the place. Once at the dunes , everyone tried to upsell us on fine buggy rides, sledding etc. pretty boring once at the top. Sunrise was anticlimactic. Loads of people up there standing around. Then we were taken to the red dunes. Just a small dune. The Fairy stream was next. I stayed at the very good coffee shop at the entrance due to a foot infection. The. Offer and smoothies there were excellent. The best part of this Dund tour was a stop at a small fishing port/market. Loads of the basket boats, trawlers and fresh fish and seafood to see.
I’d skip the dunes and Fairy Stream and check out the sunrise on the Mui Ne beach instead.

Just paid 440,000 dong for a jeep tour which included fairy spring, fishing village, red and white sand dunes. Fairy springs and the fishing village and 5 min drive between each other the sand dune an extra 6.5km so not exactly far to drive. Fairy springs was average, fishing village was ok but our trip to the red sand dunes was so disappointing. Because we booked the jeep tour we thought the jeep would go onto to the Sand dunes but as we arrived the jeep parked up and the driver said we had to pay an extra 600,000 dong for a quad bike or 200,000 dong for a quad with a driver. We never get told this at all when we booked it. We never bothered with the white sand dunes and went straight back to the hotel.... this is just to warn any one before booking. Probably would of been cheaper to get a taxi and book quads. Just an absolute waste of money, so disappointed :( I’ve added a photo of the tour operator we booked with.

No entrance fee. Nice dunes and great sunset view! There are many people sliding down the dunes with a plastic sheet and my hubby even jumping down the dunes. As this is an unshelter place, highly recommended to visit either early morning or late afternoon to enjoy thee nice view of sunrise/sunset.

In advance, I thought this would be very touristic and therefore become a dissapointing experience. But in the end , it was totally worth it. We were almost alone, the weather was good and we found a great spot to take pictures. Definitely visit the red sand dunes when being in Mui Ne!

Pile of rubbish, literally. Don't waste your time here, drop a pin anywhere on maps and it will be a better place to watch a sunset. The place is just piled high of rubbish. It would be a public dump in other countries. Horrible.

We had nice time, relaxing nice breeze and view. It was a bit windy and coldish when it was evening so kind to take warm clothes. When we returned down from the dunes all our bodies were covered with sand cu the wind blows with sand.

À dump indeed as per previous reviews. A nothing special sand dune with plastic litter, face masks etc literally everywhere... Don't bother. Quad bike up and over the White dune and by the lake much more worthwhile.

going to Red Sand Dune (Mui Ne) , which bus should i ride? if i am staying at Muine Town
Written August 10, 2017
Is this the only place that you wish to visit? I have not seen public buses plying that route. As mentioned by other reviewers, various forms of transport including taxis are available but the most popular is the 4 hour jeep tour for US$8/pax and it brings you to White Sand Dunes, Red Sand Dunes, Fishing Village and Fairy Stream. Discuss with your friendly lodging provider and I am sure they can find something suitable for you.

IS White lake and White Sand Dunes at same place?
IF not, What time is recommended to visit these two places?
Written April 4, 2017
No you can easily do it on your own. Renting a motorbike or one of the jeep tours is probably a the best and most affordable way. I think our tour started at 4.30 or 5.00 am.

Any recommendable hotels nearby White Sand Dunes or Red sand dune?
Written March 20, 2015
The dunes are not that close together but not a great distance either. I saw a lot of hotels along the way coming from Phan Theit to the red dunes.

Hi, I will be arriving at HCM Airport around 8am. Do u think I would be able to get 2 bus tix to go Mui Ne on that very same day? I don't wanna take the risk of booking the hotel there and not being able to make it by bus.
Written March 20, 2015
You should be able to. I took a bus from downtown. It cost 5 US and took about 5 hours. It was a two level interior recliner seating bus. Quite comfortable. I don't know if you can get a bus from the airport and may need to take a taxi to the bus station. You may also need to reserve a ticket.
