Mui Ne Sand Dunes: Private Tours from Mui Ne and Phan Thiet
The dunes, at your hour.
Your own licensed local guide, fluent in English. Your own car or jeep, on a route built around you and timed to the light on the dunes. Every ticket covered — from $43 per person.
What are the Mui Ne sand dunes?
Two dune fields on Vietnam’s south coast: the red dunes beside Mui Ne and the far larger white dunes of Bau Trang, 30 km north-east. A private day pairs them with the fishing village and Fairy Stream, or adds Ta Cu and the Cham towers. With a local guide you get more than the photo: how the wind moves the dunes and how fishing families live here.
On our tours every ticket and the jeep to the top are already included — you never open your wallet.
Shared group tour vs. private tour
Shared group tours suit travellers who are happy to follow a big group on a fixed plan. Here is what actually changes when the day is yours.
Shared group tour
- A jeep or bus shared with strangers, often with a driver rather than a guide
- Fixed route and timetable — no changes on the day
- A 4:30 pickup for sunrise, or a fixed afternoon slot
- Entrance tickets and fees often paid on the spot
- The dunes only — Ta Cu and the Cham towers are a separate trip
Fixed plan · extras paid on the day

- Your route and pace — any itinerary can be changed on request
- Pickup at the hour you choose, timed to the light on the dunes

Our promises — in writing
No hidden costs
The group price is final. Tickets, the jeep to the top of the white dunes, sandboards and the meals listed on each tour are all pre-paid.
No shop stops
We earn from the tour price alone. Your time goes to the dunes, the boats and the towers, not a souvenir showroom.
Door to door
Pickup and drop-off at any Mui Ne or Phan Thiet hotel — never “the tour ends where the jeep parks”.
Licensed local guides
Locals fluent in English who know this coast inside out. They explain how the dunes move, how fish sauce is made and the story behind the Cham towers, step by step.
Two sample itineraries. Each one can be tailored to you.
Book one as it is, or use it as a starting point — tell us what to add, skip or linger over and we will adjust the day. Car or jeep, guide, tickets and the ride to the top of the white dunes are always included.
Want a different route, pace or group size? WhatsApp +84 368 938 081 — we will plan your day and send you an all-inclusive quote.
Questions people ask before booking
White dunes or red dunes: which should we see?
Both, if you can: every tour we run includes both. The white dunes at Bau Trang are the big landscape, with lakes and a jeep ride to the top; the red dunes are small, close to Mui Ne and the fun one for sandboarding. With time for only one, choose the white dunes.
How far are the dunes from Mui Ne and Phan Thiet?
The red dunes are a few minutes from the Mui Ne hotels. The white dunes at Bau Trang are about 30 km further north-east, around 40 minutes by road from Mui Ne and a little over an hour from central Phan Thiet.
What exactly is included in the price?
Private car with driver, a licensed local guide who speaks fluent English, hotel pickup and drop-off anywhere in Mui Ne or Phan Thiet, all entrance fees and the jeep to the top of the white dunes, and the meals and drinks listed on each tour. The only things not included are personal shopping and optional tips.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Yes — free cancellation up to 3 days before departure, and free rescheduling subject to availability. Within 3 days of departure, 30% of the tour price is charged because the car and guide are already committed.
Can the tour be tailored for children, older parents or our own interests?
Yes — every itinerary can be adjusted. Tell us who is travelling and what you enjoy, and we will change the stops and the pace to suit. The only real effort is walking up soft sand at the red dunes; at the white dunes the jeep takes you to the top.
How do I pay, and when?
Two ways: pay the full price online by card, or pay a 30% deposit online and the rest in cash on the day of the tour, in US dollars or Vietnamese dong. We can also send a secure payment link on WhatsApp. The booking is confirmed once the online payment goes through, and your pickup time and guide’s name arrive in writing.
How far ahead should I book?
A few days is comfortable in the busy months from November to April; at quieter times next-day requests often work. Message us and we will tell you honestly what is still open.
Choose the hour. We will be on the dunes when the light is right.
