Close by Mui Ne and swarming with travellers and insistent kid sellers, the Red Dunes are worth a visit in the early morning or late afternoon.

Note: The information provided in this review was correct at time of publishing but may change. For final clarification please check with the relevant service

These impressive creations of wind and sand are best viewed before the day begins to heat up. The sand is difficult to walk in but the views across the duned to the ocean are well worth it. The heat off the sand during the day is intense.

Riding mats down the dunes is popular and one way of appeasing the persistent kids that will trail you here.
