Sharing is caring!

Suối Tiên Mũi Né, or Fairy Stream in Mui Ne – what’s that?

Is it a place where fairies live? Does a place like that exist on our planet? Hm, do fairies exist at all?!

If they exist, what kind of places the beings with magical superpowers would inhibit? Nothing less than magical, for sure!

Could Suối Tiên Mũi Né in Vietnam be one of those places?

1. SUOI TIEN MUI NE – FAIRY STREAM IN MUI NE

The Fairy Stream is a rivulet with an extraordinarily beautiful and dream-like canyon in Mui Ne in southcentral Vietnam. This is a place where the wind and rain played and shaped the sand, clay, and limestone into unique formations creating a fairyland. The Fairy Stream in Mui Ne, or  Suối Tiên Mũi Né in Vietnamese, is one of the most unique places in Vietnam to see!

Here you will experience the burst of shapes, colors, and shades as the rocks change their colors with sunlight throughout the day. Hiking the canyon in Mui Ne you will experience a light-show of whites, oranges, reds, and pinks.

Only a few places on the Earth offer a similar setting. Antelope Canyon and Sedona in Arizona, USA, just to name a few.

Here even the creek boosts with a peculiar red color. As you walk Mui Ne red canyon, you will realize that the Fairy Stream in Mui Ne in Vietnam is a top photography hotspot!

And with no doubts, an exceptional natural landmark in Vietnam!

Climbing and running up and down the sandhills will give you a unique sense of freedom that can be felt only in surreal landscapes magically created by Mother Nature.

While you hike the stream’s trail barefoot, you will feel the powdery soft sand under your feet and gentle touch of the creek’s drift.

At the same time, crisp spring’s water under the Vietnamese intense sun will refresh you.  So, please note, taking off your shoes in the creek is highly recommended.

The hike is only an hour long and the water never goes above your knees. At the end of your trail, a reward awaits you – a small Fairy Stream waterfall.

1.1 ENTRANCE TO THE FAIRY STREAM IN MUI NE 

The entrance to the Fairy Spring in Mui Ne is on the main road Mui Ne – Phan Thiet City, or more precisely in Huynh Thue Khang Street No. 40.

You can take a public bus No 1 or No 9,  or rent or even buy a bike since motorbiking in Vietnam is extremely popular, and drive along Huynh Thue Khang Street No. 40 until you see a bridge and a sign “Suoi Tien” indicating the entrance to Mui Ne Fairy Stream.

These days some agencies in Mũi Né started offering tours including a visit to Mui Ne Fairy Spring.

Mui Ne Fairy Stream entrance is free, but be aware of some local scammers who might want to charge it.

1.2 WHEN TO VISIT SUOI TIEN
