More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A wind-scoured ridge of red sand rises above the coastline, and the sun picks out ridgelines like the spine of an unrolled map. On a private sightseeing day trip to Mui Ne’s sand dunes, you trade Ho Chi Minh City’s humidity for a landscape that feels almost otherworldly: broad dunes that shift underfoot, a shallow stream threading through red and white rock, and the low bustle of a fishing village where basket boats bob like corks.
