It's famous for its long stretches of white sand beaches and crystal-clear blue sea, and boasts many of the city's most attractive tourist destinations. Therefore, when visiting Binh Thuan, most tourists choose Mui Ne as their accommodation for convenient access to various attractions.

A new tourist service that has become popular in Mui Ne in recent years is the jeep tour, exploring the scenic landscapes in off-road vehicles. For those who love speed and thrills, this experience is definitely not to be missed. This unique program explores famous Mui Ne landmarks and experiences local culture over approximately 5 hours.

Jeep tours are considered a must-try when visiting and enjoying the sights of Mui Ne.
Ms. Kim Anh, representative of Lacky Tour, a jeep rental company in Mui Ne, Binh Thuan, said: "We have two types of jeeps: those that carry 4 passengers and those that carry 6 passengers, in a variety of colors. The duration of a tour depends on the customer's choice, with two time slots. The first is 4:30 AM, ending at 9:00 AM. The second is in the afternoon, starting at 1:30 PM and ending at 6:00 PM. Currently, with summer approaching, the number of customers is at an average level. Most of our customers who have used our service are young, cheerful, and very lovely people. Along the way, if there are requests to stop for sightseeing or taking photos, the driver will assist the tourists and then drop them off at their hotel."
Trân Trân proactively books tours 2-3 days in advance to ensure vehicle availability and choose her preferred vehicle color. Once she has the vehicle color, she can choose matching outfits for photos to stand out more, and she prefers wearing pants for easy getting in and out of the vehicle.
Tran Tran (26 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) - a freelance travel enthusiast - recently took a short trip to Mui Ne and experienced a jeep tour there.
"I booked a tour for the early morning, specifically a 4:30 AM pick-up at the hotel, ending at 9:00 AM. The tour price for our team of three was 500,000 VND per tour. This price applies to teams of 1-3 people, while teams of 4-6 people will pay 150,000 VND per person. The jeep tour we chose lasted 5 hours and included visits to tourist attractions such as the white sand dunes, Mui Ne beach, red sand dunes, and a fishing village...", Tran Tran shared with Travellive.
According to Tran Tran, if you want to experience a jeep tour, you should proactively book the tour two to three days in advance with a clear itinerary to ensure availability and to choose your preferred jeep color for photos. Jeeps come in many colors such as white, yellow, pink, green, etc. Knowing the color will help you choose the right outfit for more striking photos. Tourists should prioritize wearing pants for easier boarding and disembarking.
The tour has two time slots, but the best time is early morning, from 4:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Tran Tran added that the driver will take advantage of the opportunity to drive up to the white sand dunes to catch the sunrise. Afterwards, once it's light, it's more convenient to visit other places and take photos. The driver provides bottled water for everyone on the bus, but if you want to eat or drink more, remember to prepare beforehand as the tour will not stop along the way.
Exploring Mui Ne by jeep will provide visitors with a colorful photo album, and it also allows them to travel to many different tourist destinations in a fun and exciting tour.
Jeep tours in Mui Ne are becoming increasingly popular among young people. Tourists often plan their itineraries in advance and don't want to spend too much time at other locations. Alternatively, they can rent a jeep and drive themselves.
In recent years, self-drive jeep tours have been restricted and are no longer licensed. The reasons for the service's discontinuation are to ensure traffic safety and avoid risks. Unfamiliarity with the terrain and roads poses a danger and affects the travel plans of many others. However, in some cases, if you have a jeep driving license, you can still rent a vehicle to drive yourself and enjoy the route.
The white sand dunes are a must-see when visiting Mui Ne on a jeep tour.
"Traveling by jeep was convenient and the experience of riding in the vehicle was very enjoyable. The driver was always enthusiastic and punctual. Since our group consisted of three girls, the driver was very helpful in taking photos for social media; most of the pictures from this tour were taken by him. He even prepared a ladder to stand on for wide-angle shots and gave extremely professional posing instructions," Trân Trân excitedly recounted.
