Getting to Mui Ne

Mui Ne is no longer the dead-end town as it once was, because now there are both north and south links to Highway 1A. The newer northern link is a scenic stretch, passing deserted beaches and a beautiful lake ringed with water lilies, which allows the open-tour buses to pass through Mui Ne without back tracking, reducing journey times.

Open-tour buses are the most convenient option for Mui Ne, as most public buses serve Phan Thiet. Several companies have daily services to/from Ho Chi Minh City (four hours), Nha Trang (five hours) via Ca Na, and Dalat (2 hours).

Getting Around

Mui Ne is so spread out that it's difficult to wander about on foot when it's so hot. There are plenty of xe om drivers to take you up and down the strip. For something more comfortable, Mai Linh operates meter taxis.

Given that the area isn't highly populated and it's not on the main highway, this is not a bad place to hire a bicycle or motorbike through your hotel or one of the travel agencies. However, take care, as traffic is moving pretty fast and accidents involving tourists have been known to happen.
