How to Explore Mui Ne Vietnam

The best of Vietnam Mui Ne is a lovely coastal city for relaxation and enjoying loads of fun. The natural beauty of the place certainly is breathtaking. And the once sleepy fisher village manages to offer visitors a laid back ambience despite Mui Ne being a top holiday destination in Vietnam. Here is a guide to exploring Mui Ne.

Choose the Best Time to Visit Mui Ne

Mui Ne is a tropical destination and can be accessed throughout the year. However, if you were to pinpoint the best time of the year to visit the coastal city, it would be from October to November and again from April to the end of May. The weather remains sunny and warm in the region during these months despite some areas of Vietnam experiencing the rainy season.

Currency and Changing Your Money

The Vietnamese Dong (VND) is the currency used in Mui Ne, similar to the rest of the nation. Converting your dollars to VND is highly advantageous and will leave you in awe of how inexpensive basic amenities like food, and travel can be. The best method is to change your cash in Ho Chi Minh as exchange rates in Mui Ne are not very impressive. However, if you do run out of cash, you can always check with your Mui Ne resort and convert your currency to VND at the hotel currency exchange counter. Top hotels in Vietnam like Anantara Mui Ne Resort offer a range of facilities to make your stay comfortable.

Getting to Mui Ne From Ho Chi Minh

The best mode of travel to Mui Ne from Ho Chi Minh is the open tour bus. The journey is around 5-hours, and tickets can be bought at the Hanh Tourist Café or even the Sinh Tourist Café. You even have an online option. If you take the night bus to Mui Ne from Ho Chi Minh, your journey will start at 8 p.m. and end with your arrival in Mui Ne at 1 a.m. You can arrange your Mui Ne hotel shuttle service to pick you up.

The Best Attractions in Mui Ne

Make an itinerary of what you want to see when in Mui Ne. Some of the top attractions include,

White sand dunes, which are also called Bang Trang. It’s a desert of sparkling white sands, dotted intermittently with pine trees. There you can rent a quad bike and race up and down the dunes. Take along plenty of water and a hat; the sand is very hot and the sun is strong.

Red sand dunes are smaller than the white but beautiful to enjoy at sunset. There you can even rent sledges and have some fun sliding down the dunes.

Fairy Creek is another popular attraction in Mui Ne. It is a shallow stream along which you can wade, enjoying the surrounding scenery made up of limestone cliffs.

A visit to the Mui Ne Fishing Village is a must for a taste of how the popular tourist city got its start. Located at the eastern end of Mui Ne Beach, the area is rustic and charming. Get there at dawn and you can witness returning fishermen hauling in their nets. The seafood is sold right on the beach. Your perfect chance to take back some fresh seafood to have your Mui Ne resort chef cook up a delicious dish.
