Create an itinerary including Red Sand Dunes
Slide down a red, Martian-esque landscape on a plastic sled at Red Sand Dunes, a formation of enormous red-and-orange-brown sandy hills just 20 minutes from downtown. Set against a view of the ocean, the gentle slopes of the dunes offer an easy but scenic walking trip, which will make you feel like you're in the Sahara Desert. Prepare to bargain over price of sand-sledding, or alternatively rent a quad bike or even ride an ostrich to explore the dunes. You can observe locals flying their kites as they gather for picnics in this popular spot. Pine trees provide necessary shade, with a limited number of food and drink stands on hand. For Red Sand Dunes and beyond, use our Phan Thiet trip itinerary planner to get the most from your Phan Thiet vacation.

  • I love this place on the trip to Muine, sand slides were funny in my first experience. Put more rubbish bins and the tourist should pays more attention and be awareness to protect the environment.

  • Cool views, might be a bit hard to get a shot without people in it. Not a huge dune scape, and sand will be everywhere after. Definitely rent a sled from one of the kids (50k per sled for unlimited fun), support the locals and it's actually great fun!
  • Nice attraction and a sunset point. The sky right after sunset is amazing. Nice and romantic place to enjoy the desert view and beautiful sunset sky. Only one thing: its sandy😂Try to get there when the sky is not cloudy in order to enjoy a fascinating sunset. No entrance pay. During the day time local people there provide slides for sliding down from the sandy hill. Jumping down there is also fun. There are another White sand dunes - big desert on the way to Phạm Rang but these dunes are much closer to Mui Ne and deserving attention at least as a Sunset point.
