The Cu Chi tunnels consist of more than 200km of underground tunnels. This main axis system has many branches connecting to underground hideouts, shelters, and entrances to other tunnels, the tunnels are between 0.5 to 1m wide, just enough for a person to crawl along.

The rest of day is free to relax by the pool or on the sandy beach. O/N in Phan Thiet.

Day 4: Saigon Beach Tour to Cu Chi, Phan Thiet, Mui Ne, Bau Trang Sand-Dune: Phan Thiet Beach Holidays – Mui Ne Beach Vacations – San Dunes Tours (B/L)

Today, after breakfast at your hotel/ resort, you can take the chance to visit San Dunes Tours in stead of relaxing at hotel/ resort in other cities as below:

This optional tour is best early in the morning to see the sunrise at the sand dunes, or late in the afternoon to watch the sunset. The dunes may now be reached by motorbike, but we recommend taking a jeep tour so you can ride on the beach. Stop at the market in Mui Ne village to pick up supplies (food and drink). Make your next stop at the Red Sand Dunes. Stay for a few minutes to take some photos. After passing Hon Rom village, ride along the beach to the village of Binh Tien. Head over the hills to the White Sand Dunes.

This is the highlight of any trip to Mui Ne. Get some pictures, slide down the dunes on plastic sleds, and then have a picnic lunch by the lake, under the pines. Head back, stopping at the Red Sand Canyon for an exploration. Back in Mui Ne Beach, make an optional stop at the Fairy Springs (you should visit the springs at some point during your stay), and follow the stream through the canyon to the small waterfall at the back. The walk should take 30-minutes to 1 hour. This whole tour should last all morning and halfway through the afternoon. 

O/N in Phan Thiet.
