5.0 Tau Cao Toc Phu Quy Express (1 review)
- Thủy thủ tàu chuyên nghiệp, tận tâm
Spent 2-3 hours Ferries

Ngày đi biển êm nên không có cảm giác gì, tới ngày về thì sáng sớm mưa to, gió lớn, lúc lên tàu mọi người đều say. Cả tàu đều ói, vật vạ người ngồi người nằm, lúc này mới thấy tác dụng của các bạn thủy thủ. Các bạn ấy hỗ trợ xách hành lí, ẵm em bé, đỡ người già, đỡ luôn cả người trẻ đi ko vững.
Thuyền chao đảo nhiều lần, mọi người sau sóng nên nằm la liệt trên sàn, các bạn chạy ngược chạy xuôi đưa bao nôn, giấy, nước. Ai gọi là tới ngay, ko gọi nỗi ngoắc tay cũng tới, khách nôn xong lại đi dọn rác, sắp xếp chỗ nghĩ cho khách quá mệt, ....
Thật sự nể và cảm ơn các bạn nhiều lắm. 2 tiếng trên chuyến tàu bão táp nhưng nhờ sự nhiệt tình và tận tâm của các bạn mà đỡ khó chịu hơn rất nhiều See more..

4.5 Linh Son Truong Tho Pagoda (123 reviews)
- Linh Son Truong Tho pagoda = Taku Mountain = Ta Cu Mountain
Religious Sites

TripAdvisor needs to consolidate these 3 listings because they are all the same thing. It makes planning more difficult than it needs to be. That said, this is an attraction that you just HAVE to see in person as pictures do not do it justice. The Reclining Buddha is majestic in it's sheer size! You will have to ride up a sky gondola to get up the mountain so if you have fear of heights or enclosed spaces, be warned. If you have no such fears, the gondola ride is beautiful. As with many other nature attractions in other developing countries, there will be trash along the way to distract from the real reason you're there. As a added bonus, keep an eye out for swinging monkeys in the nearby jungle! We didn't see any hanging around the actual Buddha but did catch some in the (far) distance. See more..
4.5 Linh Long Tu Temple (32 reviews)
- Beautiful temple
Spent 1-2 hours Religious Sites

This temple is close to the White Sand Dunes. It is possible to visit both the same day. The gardens and the buddahs are exquisite. I like the quietness of the place. It is peaceful and amazing. See more..
4.5 Vinh Hy Bay (18 reviews)
- if you want to do absolutely nothing for a couple of days
Bodies of Water

If you want a few days to do nothing at all this is the place to be. One resort and almost nobody speaks English. That is my kind of fun. They have a good swimming pool and the restaurant have a great menu card (in English)and there is a fantastic fish restaurant on the other side of the bay. You can rent motorbikes to explore the surrounding area. Lots of vinyards. You can also make a boat trip to see the coral. Or you can walk in the small village and try to speak with the locals. But most of all take a good book, one of the chairs next to the pool and do absolutely nothing at all. Doesn't that sound great? See more..
4.5 Khu du lich Ta Cu (18 reviews)
- Really perfect!

4.5 Phu Quy Island (12 reviews)
- Best kept secret - very rural island
Islands

Phu Quy is a very small fishing island, ‘Island of Precious Riches, located about 120 km from the mainland of Phan Thiet, Vietnam. As it’s still controlled by the military, foreign travellers must obtain a permit to visit Phu Quy. The island captured our heart with its natural beauty, as it hasn’t been spoilt by heavy construction and fancy resorts. Travel agents in Phan Thiet and Mui Ne can help you obtain a permit, or you can go the direct route. It took us two days to get a permit. We made two vlogs of where we stayed, what we visited and the off road riding with our bikes. For 300k VND you can take your bike on the Superdong Ferry. You can watch our video about this Island on our Youtube Channel - RoamingRebels Vlog 21 and 22 (link in bio) See more..
4.5 The Shrine of Our Lady of Tapao (11 reviews)
- Statue on the mountain
Religious Sites

The Marian Shrine of Our Lady of Tapao is an interesting place that has attracted much attention due to the funny things that have reported to have happened there, from divine apparitions, miracle cures, the statue's cloak moving to the sky changing colours, whatever the case or wateva vids people have upload on YouTube it is a site that attracts Vietnamese pilgrims of every faith & religion to pay homage & to ask for a wish. The bottom foothills where the 400-odd stairs start has become a commercial free-for-all as the Church does not own the land so unrestricted commercial activities such as roast port vendors (traditional food for worship & offerings) have sprung up everywhere. Beggars & the poor both professional & legit, the maimed & deformed have flocked to this site like a freak show hoping to gain from pilgrims, they line both sides of the lower stairs like a gauntlet of horrors, holding out their hands chanting, i probably saw over 60, making it a harrowing experience in itself. The staircase leads to a wide platform with a large white statue of the Virgin Mary overlooking a wide view of the surrounding farmland & the La Nga river. Groups of pilgrims of every religion pray at the site & is a place of reflection & worship. Surprisingly the site has no church, I understand they are trying to purchase land there to help keep this place from becoming an amusement park of horrors with every kind of shady character & beggar south of Saigon converging there.

4.5 Nui Da Chong (6 reviews)

Spent 2-3 hours Mountains • Parks • Hiking Trails

4.0 White Sand Dunes (3.282 reviews)
- Nice sunrise
Monday: 4:15 AM - 6:15 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks

Southeast Asia is usually associated with a wet, tropical environment, but, in the area of Mui Ne, Vietnam, lays a beautiful desert. white sandunes is 50km away from mui ne central ,the city of Mui Ne is four hours from Ho Chi Minh City, in the south of the a further 45 minutes,and you arrive at Bau Trang, Bau Trang, or the White Sand Dunes, is one of the only desert areas in Southeast Asia and is a beautiful expanse of dunes and sand. There are no camels here; instead, shepherds herd cows through the sandy expanse. Perhaps the most striking part of the area is a small lagoon covered in lotus flowers. Beside the lake, there is also a small pine forest that makes the wind cool, even in the hot Asian desert. See more..
4.0 Fairy Stream (Suoi Tien) (2.701 reviews)
- Nice short walk
Spent < 1 hour Nature & Wildlife Areas

We did the sunrise tour to the white sand dunes using the tour through our Mui Ne Budget Hotel, and part of the tour is to visit the fairy trail which I would recommend doing. There is an extra entry fee which I can’t remember exactly the price (I think it was 20,000 each). It isn’t expensive anyway. The stream and surroundings make for some lovely pictures, and there is a very small waterfall at the end. The walk itself is actually quite short but nevertheless it’s worth seeing. See more..
4.0 Mui Ne Harbor (883 reviews)
- Very pretty and picturesque
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Scenic Walking Areas

We did the sunrise tour to the white sand dunes using the tour through our Mui Ne Budget Hotel, and the fishing village was part of the tour. It makes for some wonderful pictures and it is quite different to a few of the usual SE Asia viewpoints. Would recommend including in a day tour if you can. See more..
4.0 Po Sah Inu Towers (271 reviews)
- Worth to visit
Monday: 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks

The Po Sah Inu Towers have been part of our tour to the Pa Cu Mountains. Ok our driver was a little bit lazy and we spent nearly 1 hour waiting for him.... Anyway the location is worth to be seen and we were very amazed by the ruins. Luckily we had a perfect weather to take some nice pictures there. See more..
4.0 Bai Da Ong Dia Beach (91 reviews)
- D1 beach
Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Beaches

Travel from Ho Chi Minh towards Mui Be. It is a beautiful beach with fine sand and big waves.

There are also vendors selling coconut water, corn, fruits, drinks, hat and etc. Some sitting in the cafe and enjoying the drink. The long beach is really wonderful and beautiful. See more..

4.0 Ke Ga Light house (81 reviews)
- An acceptable short trip
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Lighthouses

It costs 120.000VND for a return trip by canoe for 2 of us to the lighthouse, and I think this price is reasonable. It's quite sad because we couldn't climb up the lighthouse due to its old and vunerable inside stairs. If you love camping, the island is also a wonderful place for that. Please keep the environment clean and take all trash with you when you leave. There is not much shadow, so you should prepare umbrella and hat ;) See more..
4.0 Ham Tien Market (51 reviews)
- Locals market.
Spent < 1 hour Farmers Markets

Local market in the centre of Han Tien, opened in 2012, they sell meat, vegetables, fruit also cook local foods especially seafood. Also for sale are clothes and all other needs, I highly recommend a visit here to see the locals in their own environment. See more..
4.0 Ho Chi Minh Museum (35 reviews)
- Facinationg story aabout Ho Chi Minh and his background.
Spent < 1 hour History Museums

Uncle Ho was a teacher by profession and he was teaching here in Muine in 1911 before travelling the world as a cook on a French merchant ship. I teach English pro bona in Vietnam and it is amazing how little the Vietnamese know about their own recent history. So I used my experience as part of an English Lesson. I do 2 a week. See more..
4.0 Hon Rom (33 reviews)
- Great beach area.
Spent 1-2 hours Beaches

This area is just north of Mui Ne, on the weekend it's the area for the Saigon people to flock to. Has all types of water sports, boats, rubber tubes and boards. The weekend is also excellent for seafood, either to buy fresh or have it bar/b/q ed in front of you, all sorts of seafood is available. I highly recommend you visit here for great food. See more..
4.0 Forgotten Land Sand Sculpture Park (32 reviews)
- Underrated gem in the area
Points of Interest & Landmarks

I had been living here for months before I first went to the sand sculpture park because no one seemed to have gone there and aver recommended it. I was very positively surprised. The sculptures are great, the range of international artists impressive and all the sculptures have a common theme, folk tales and legends which are explained on displays next to the respective sculpture depicting it. Those tales are very interesting culturally and the sculptures are just great to see even if you’re not into folk tales See more..
4.0 Van Thuy Tu Communal House (28 reviews)
- Whale worship.
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites • Monuments & Statues

This temple was built in 1762 to honour a legendary whale, it's skeleton is 22 meters long thought to be the biggest in South East Asia, it's very neat to see. Hard to find but well worth the effort, there are also other culture relics in the museum, I recommend a visit here. See more..
4.0 Reclining Buddha (18 reviews)

4.0 Phan Thiet Market (11 reviews)
- Worth a visit if one is in Mui Ne or Phan Thiet!
Spent 2-3 hours Flea & Street Markets

I am rewriting my review of the Phan Thiet (Indoor) Market as i have earlier made a link to the wrong indoor market!. Sorry!!!.✌✌ Anyway, the Phan Thiet (Indoor) Market is definitely worth visiting, as far as i am concerned. There are stalls here selling fruits, flowers, local cakes as well as beautifully wrapped (in red!) gifts for wedding couples. There are also some stalls selling local food. Again, I enjoyed my visit to the Phan Thiet (Indoor) market this afternoon. See more..
