  • 1. Fairy Stream

    While it may not quite live up to its intriguing name, the highlight of this kitschy attraction is the miniature Grand Canyon-like cliffs that border the stream and whose red and brown layers create a nice backdrop for photos. It takes about 20 minutes to wade along the ankle- and knee-deep stream to a small waterfall that flows into waist-deep sections. Along the way, enterprising locals have set up make-shift rest stops, serving cool drinks and some snacks. There can sometimes be a fair amount of trash at the start of the stream, but it gets cleaner the farther you go. Be aware that adults and children offering shoe-minding or guiding along the stream will expect to be paid, so negotiate a price first, or plan to tip about $1.

  • 2. Red Sand Dunes

    Around 15 minutes from the tourist strip of Mui Ne, the Red Sand Dunes are a very strange sight in a country renowned for its jungles, and provide great sunrise and sunset views. However, these are peak times for busloads of tour groups, so if you're after some more quiet, visit around 4 pm when the weather begins to cool a little and the sea breeze picks up. Children offer plastic mats for rent so tourists can slide down the dunes. Mats cost roughly 20,000d for an hour, plus tip.

  • 3. White Sand Dunes

    These stunning, desert-like, white sand dunes are best seen at sunrise (before the noisy quad bikes start operating). If the lotus flowers are in bloom, take a photo as you approach the dunes of the adjacent blue lake. The pink flowers there, all backed by the white dunes, are especially striking. If you're more of a thrill-seeker, the quad bikes are a fun way to blow off some steam in the sand. However, the vendors who rent out the quads can be very pushy; beware of the "guides" who jump on the back of your quad who will demand a hefty tip at the end of the trip. The dunes are about an hour's drive from Mui Ne's main tourist area.
