Red dunes. A wide blue sky. Sky-blue water stretches behind them. Those images are everywhere—and they’re striking enough to make anyone stop and wonder.
Is this place really like that, and does it actually work with kids?
That curiosity is exactly what brought us to Mui Ne this time.
Here’s our experience of Mui Ne with kids—beyond the filters—and whether this famous beach town truly deserves a spot in a family Vietnam itinerary.
This was our third trip to Vietnam and our first time visiting Da Nang with kids, so we were already familiar with Vietnam’s beautiful chaos. Because of a packed itinerary, we could only spend two days in Da Nang—but even in that short time, the city left a lasting impression on us.
Hanoi—Vietnam’s capital and second most populous city—can feel chaotic, messy, and endlessly fascinating all at once.
Whether you’re using Hanoi as your first stop in Vietnam, a base for exploring Ha Long Bay or Ninh Binh, or simply planning a couple of days to soak in its rhythm, this city deserves its own slow chapter.
Planning a Vietnam family trip can feel overwhelming at first. But once you arrive in Vietnam with kids, it reveals a softer, family-friendly side that many of us don’t expect. We’ve traveled to Vietnam three times; each visit has shown us a new side of this country. Here with our experience, we’ll help you travel to Vietnam with kids in a way that’s authentic, easy, and full of joy.
