Beach Trips in Vietnam Dreamy beaches and sand dunes

Duration: 3 days / 2 nights
Price: From £98 per person (based on 2 people sharing)
Departure: Daily from Ho Chi Minh City (or Nha Trang)
Route: HCMC - Mui Ne - HCMC
It is only a short train journey (4hrs) from Ho Chi Minh City to the tropical beaches of Mui Ne. During this Vietnam trip, you'll stay in delightful, colonial-style bungalows and practically roll out of bed onto the vast, golden sands. Stretched out on your lounger, fresh juice in hand, there is plenty of time to let your adventures sink in while you soak up the sun. But Mui Ne has a lot more to offer; just a little inland you'll find yourself amongst giant sand dunes that will make you feel like you're standing in the Sahara.

During this Vietnam trip, you can take a boat trip to the 15 islands of An Thoi, situated off the south coast, and snorkel amongst shoals of tropical fish.
