Mui Ne, Vietnam
We are having a great time in Vietnam. We are currently in Hanoi. Tomorrow we are heading to Halong Bay, which I am very excited about. There are so many french bakery’s close to where we are staying here… it’s awesome.
Before coming to Hanoi we spend 4 days in Mui Ne which is in the South East part of Vietnam on the coast. We just loved it. We stayed at a resort called Phu Hai. It was an awesome resort, the only down fall was it was about 4-5km from town or the main resort/restaurant strip. On our second day in Mui Ne we walked into town and found a place called Red and Blue Restaurant and Bar where they hired motos for $10 a day. The girl was very lovely and only took a $50 bond- how trusting. We felt that the best, most excited and cheapest way to see Mui Ne was by Moto. We explored around the local villages and got some awesome images of village/town life. We than road out to the sand dunes which are not to hard to find… if your heading to Mui Ne feel free to email and we can give directs to the dunes. The sand dunes are just amazing. We were very surprised how big they were. At the red dunes there was kids everywhere ripping people off with their sand boards that really didn’t work unless you way 20kg like they do and I certainly way more than that! LOL!
There are some awesome restaurant’s in Mui Ne. Our favourite was a mexican place which is owned by a young french couple. It was called El Lationo. The food was awesome!!
We’ll you all updated and post some more images soon.
Hope everyone is well. Feel free to email us if you do have any inquiries or need to touch base about a booking!!

- I love this series of photos as it really tells the story of that Mui Ne’s local economy is centred on. In this image the men are taking the tub out to deeper water. The tubs are used both for fishing and transporting to the larger fishing boats
-
- The fisherman here are taking the baskets to the tub. The baskets are used to transport the fish and baits to and from the large fishing boats
-
- On the way out to the Sand dunes there are these trays that have fish drying on them. The dried fish are used for bait.
-
- This image and the next few are of the Red sand dunes. They are really very amazing.
-
- We went to our local market nearby our resort and captured some aspects of the daily life of the people who live in these towns.
-
- The fishing boats are cool colours 🙂

- Mike on our scooter/moto that we hired to get around Mui Ne
-
- The white Sand dunes were a little harder to find and were about 30 km drive from the red dunes, but it was certainly worth the trip.
-
- Near the entrance of the white dunes there is a little place that you can hire 4 wheeled motobikes and get ice creams and snacks, this is there pet monkey. I thought this photo was rather funny because he looked like he was in trouble!
-
- Fairy Springs was just amazing. When you drive along the main tourist/hotel strip of Mui Ne you certainly wouldn’t think this was hidden behind. To get to the fairy springs you stop at a bridge along the main strip. Underneath it just looks like a muddy little creek. You than walk up the middle of the creek about 1km and you find this… incredible really!
