Review of Phan Rang Desert Tour from Nha Trang (Group Tour Totally Satisfied)



One of the most unique and impressive things about this free Nha Trang trip was the ‘Phan Rang Desert Tour’. It is the only desert area in Vietnam, about 2 and a half hours away from Nha Trang. The rare red sand dunes and cactus scenery made me feel like I was in another country.

Group tour? Why it was better

I participated in a group tour of about 16 people, but at first I was worried that a private tour or small tour would be better.

However, after going there, I realized that the group tour was actually a more efficient and fun choice.

1. It was very convenient to get around: It is quite a distance from downtown Nha Trang to Phan Rang, but I was able to travel comfortably on a large bus with good air conditioning, and the driver and guide took good care of rest areas along the way.

2. The local guide’s explanation was informative: Maybe because it was a group tour, a professional guide accompanied us, and the explanation of the history and culture of the desert and Phan Rang was informative and fun. It was not just a simple scenic tour, but a meaningful experience.

3. They give you the best photo spots: They gave you the exact photo spots, such as the timing of the sunset and the location of the sand dunes, so it was great for taking great shots.

Tour main courses
1. Sheep ranch
2. Sand dune jeep & sled experience
3. Cactus colony & exotic scenery
4. Great photos at Poron Gia Lai Temple

To summarize…

For those who hesitated because it was a group tour, the Phan Rang Desert tour is actually more convenient and informative in a group!
Since the guide takes care of everything from transportation, time management, explanations, to photo zone guidance, it is perfect for beginners. I highly recommend it if you want to see a different Vietnamese landscape.
