Mui Ne Desert Tour from Ho Chi Minh: Your 2026 Jeep Guide

Reflecting on my 3-night, 5-day Ho Chi Minh City trip,

the most memorable and satisfying part was

definitely the Mui Ne Desert Tour.

Today, I'll share my firsthand experience from

the Mui Ne Desert Tour near Ho Chi Minh City,

with a candid review and how to book it.

Let's dive in!

1. Why I Chose the Mui Ne Desert Tour Near Ho Chi Minh City

While planning my 3-night, 5-day Ho Chi Minh City trip,

I felt it would be a bit of a shame to only stay in Ho Chi Minh City

(Honestly, there wasn't enough to do in Ho Chi Minh City for 5 full days)

So, I started looking for day trips near Ho Chi Minh City

and that's when I discovered the Mui Ne Desert Tour.

In Mui Ne, you can witness an exotic desert landscape

that's quite rare to see in Vietnam,

making it seem like the perfect memorable tour.

With prices starting from ~$29 per person, it was also very reasonable,

so I decided to go for the Mui Ne Desert Tour!

For your reference, Mui Ne Desert Tours generally come in two main types:

✔ Sunrise Tour

✔ Sunset Tour

We booked the Sunrise Tour,

and being able to witness the sunrise over the desert

made it an incredibly satisfying experience!

The itinerary for the Mui Ne Desert Sunrise Tour

can be found by referring to the photo below,

and the schedule can be adjusted according to your needs.

▼ What's Included in the Tour ▼

​

​

What's particularly great about the Peak Time Mui Ne Desert Tour is:

✦ Ho Chi Minh City pickup and drop-off included (no extra charge)

✦ Option to choose your Jeep color

✦ Fitting room and powder room provided

​

Even though it's an early morning schedule,

Ho Chi Minh City pickup & drop-off is included,

allowing for a comfortable journey to Mui Ne.

(Pickup and drop-off locations can be changed, e.g., to the airport)

You can even choose your preferred Jeep color!

Since we want to capture plenty of Instagram-worthy shots,

I highly recommend choosing a color that makes you shine!

Moreover, before the Mui Ne Desert Tour officially begins,

they provide fitting rooms and powder rooms, so if you're a woman,

📌 you don't need to wear your Mui Ne desert tour outfit

all the way from Ho Chi Minh City,

📌 and you can touch up your makeup in the powder room,

which I especially recommend! ✨💖

Mui Ne Desert Tour Review

We followed the set itinerary,

White Sand Dunes + Photo Spot > Red Sand Dunes

> Fishing Village > Fairy Stream

moving in that order.

At the White Sand Dunes, you can either walk or

travel by ATV.

Walking doesn't incur an extra charge,

but traveling by ATV costs 300,000 VND.

Walking takes quite a long time,

and riding an ATV in the desert is pretty fun,

so I highly recommend trying the ATV!! Haha

Sunrise witnessed in the Mui Ne desert at dawn

The sunrise I saw at the White Sand Dunes was absolutely stunning,

and it's still so vivid in my memory!

After soaking in the magnificent sunrise, we followed our itinerary and kept snapping photos as we moved from spot to spot.

Our driver had an amazing eye for composition, capturing such beautiful shots for us! 🌸

Our driver was also great at suggesting poses, so even someone as 'photo-awkward' as me managed to get some fantastic shots!

They literally guided us on everything: angles, face direction, even hand and foot placement! Talk about a pro!!

My absolute favorites were the photos taken with the jeep! They had such a wonderfully exotic vibe! 💗

Honestly, when it came to this shot, climbing onto the jeep felt pretty daunting, and I almost chickened out!

But our driver and my friends really cheered me on and gave me the courage to do it... and look at this masterpiece! Seriously a 'photo of a lifetime' moment! >_<

And let me tell you, the photos along the coastal road turned out just as gorgeous!

Our driver has a knack for finding the most picturesque spots and snapping stunning shots quickly and stylishly. So impressive! ㅎㅎ

At the dragon fruit farm, we even scooped up some fallen dragon fruits! So cool, hehe.

While I couldn't snap photos at the Fishing Village or Fairy Stream due to my energy levels, trust me, they were both absolutely stunning! 🥹💗

If you're dreaming of capturing those 'photos of a lifetime' during your Ho Chi Minh adventure,

I genuinely, wholeheartedly recommend the Mui Ne Desert Tour!!

(It's like getting the influencer experience without having to be one~!!!)

​

I actually explored Mui Ne with my friends, but I saw plenty of couples there too, capturing some truly adorable photos!

Whether you're exploring with friends or your significant other, I highly recommend this tour—you'll create memories that will last a lifetime!
