For $15 each, we hired a private jeep and driver for 5 hours to take us 34 km out of Mui Ne to watch the sun rise over the white sand dunes. Off we went at 4:30am, and we arrived at the white sand dunes at 5:30am, which gave us about 16 minutes to hike to the sand dune of our choice. Here are some photos below. We even released some of Walden’s ashes here: After we watched the sun rise, we checked out the fishing village and  “fairy stream.” The fairy stream was quite small, but the rock and sand formations it carved after thousands if not millions of years were definitely stunning. So there you have it. If you ever find yourself in Vietnam, definitely check out the sleepy beach town of Mui Ne, and visit the red sand dunes at sunset, the white sand dunes at sunrise, and the fairy stream. Mui Ne is a 5 hour bus ride for $7 from Ho Chi Minh City. Worth it!!
