Vietnam Mui Ne｜3-Day 2-Night Travel Guide Here It Comes

My Vietnam trip has officially ended! Finally have time on the return flight to organize this travel guide. First, sharing my favorite destination this trip—Mui Ne.

Before the trip, most Mui Ne guides suggested a one-day tour, but if time allows, I highly recommend staying a couple more days to fully unwind in this non-commercialized, low-cost coastal fishing village.

🚌 Transportation
🧡 From Ho Chi Minh City: Pre-book a capsule sleeper bus on Vexere. Each person gets a private pod—very spaceship-like—and you can sleep all the way to your Mui Ne hotel. The ride takes about 4 hours. Online bookings require arriving 30 minutes early at the pickup point to exchange tickets.
🧡 In Mui Ne: Rent a motorbike! There’s a long stretch of coastal road with breathtaking views along the way 💗 Most hotels offer rental services:
🏍️ Motorbike: 150,000 VND/day
🚙 Jeep (with driver): 600,000 VND/day (locals will take you to photo spots)

🏜️ Half Desert, Half Sea
🧡 Fishing Village & Coastal Road
Found the best photo spot for the fishing village: SOHO Café. Head to the second-floor open-air area for a panoramic view. Posing with a jeep on the coastal road makes for super Instagrammable shots.
🧡 Fairy Stream
Check my previous post for details. If you have time and energy, venture further to explore the mysterious tropical rainforest.
🧡 White Sand Dunes
The farthest but most worthwhile spot—a real-life version of *Dune*. The vast dunes are awe-inspiring. Motorbikes and jeeps park outside; a small entrance fee applies. Thrill-seekers can try dune bashing for an instant ride to the top. The view from the highest point is stunning—perfect for desert-themed photos.
🧡 Red Sand Dunes
Smaller than the White Sand Dunes, best visited at sunset on the way back.

🦞 Food & Massage
Relied on Google Maps ratings—great taste and value! Local durian and mango are dirt-cheap: three big durian portions for just 30 RMB. Lounging by the sea with unlimited durian—this is the vacation life!
Massage recommendation: Roses Spa (90 minutes for only 240,000 VND).

❌ Avoid
The only letdown: Dong Vui Food Night Market. Every stall has menus in Vietnamese, Chinese, English, and Korean. Packed with Western tourists but seriously overpriced and underwhelming❗️
