Bus schedule Dalat Mui Ne. How to get from Mui Ne to Dalat. Night fishing for squid in the sea

There are not many attractions in the Vietnamese village of Mui Ne, and you can go around them on your own on a rented bike. But if you are hesitant to take a bike, then there is another way to explore all the surroundings of Mui Ne - these are organized excursions.

You can buy them at one of the many street agencies; almost every agency has a Russian-speaking guide. What excursions are there from Mui Ne? How much do they cost? In our article we will talk about this using the example of one of the street travel agencies in Mui Ne.

Price of this excursion $ 25 per person.

Included in cost:

• Transfer;
• Russian speaking guide;

The lighthouse is located 25 km from Mui Ne, it takes quite a long time to get there on your own, so an excursion will be a good option.

A minibus takes tourists to the mountain, then everyone goes up the mountain by cable car on a funicular (altitude 475 m above sea level). On the mountain is the largest statue of a reclining Buddha in Vietnam.

On the way back you will visit a dragonfruit plantation.

It is possible to combine this excursion with Mak Ke Ga, in which case the price will be cheaper than buying two excursions separately.

Last year I was lucky enough to visit Vietnam. I have always associated this country with chaos and stuffiness. As I write these lines, pictures of crowded streets appear in my head, where motorbikes and cars are everywhere, and it’s hot in the buses...
However, in Vietnam I managed to “dig out” one area where you can hide from all the bustle, and this is Dalat, which often reminds everyone French Alps.

Automobile

The first option is a passenger car. I didn’t find any current offers in, but you can try to find a company in the city that provides rental services. The rental cost starts from 500,000 dong, which is equal to 22 US dollars (it all depends on the make of the car), plus you should expect that gasoline will cost about 330,000 dong (14.5 dollars).
But it will be difficult for a foreigner to get a car, because there are several pitfalls that make this method of travel irrelevant and inconvenient for me. I'll explain why.
Driver license home country and even the international standard is not suitable here. You need to obtain a temporary Vietnamese driving license. And this takes about a week, since you first need to contact the local department.

Further. In this Asian country, as elsewhere in the region, a foreigner who has arrived from Europe will find it difficult to navigate the roads, especially in the city. You must not only have extensive experience behind you, but also respond quickly in emergency situations. After all, many drivers in Vietnam do not drive according to the rules, and what irritates them the most are motorbikes, which constantly flash before their eyes.
Plus, the road from Mui Ne to Dalat will have sharp turns, and there are also speed limits - 40-50 km/h.

In short, if you decide to drive a car, then it’s better to rent it with a driver. It will be more expensive, but safer.

By the way, you can get from Mui Ne to Dalat by car in four hours.

Bus

Railway connections There is no connection between these cities, and the only public transport that goes from Mui Ne to Dalat is a bus. There are quite a lot of different travel agencies in Vietnam, which, in addition to their direct duties (excursions), also provide services for transporting passengers from one city to another. Not all such companies have websites where you can view the schedule or buy a ticket. Their signs are all over the city. There certainly won’t be any problems finding them; there are many flights throughout the day.
I managed to find two companies on the Internet:

• Dalat Open Tours.

• The Sinh Tourist.

I liked this travel option, so I decided to use this transport. Comfortable buses ply along the route, some of which have seats that can be folded out to form a bed. Therefore, those four hours that we had to spend on the journey simply passed unnoticed.

I was pleased with the funny Vietnamese videos that were shown on TV. Of course, I couldn’t understand anything, because they were broadcast in the local language, but it made me laugh. :)
And the main reason why I chose this option is that buses from travel agencies pick up passengers around the city. I got on the transport at a stop near my hotel. Cool, right? After all, there is no bus station as such in Mui Ne.

Ticket prices

Ticket prices start from 100,000 dong (4.5 dollars) to 149,000 dong (6.5 dollars). The cost here depends on the carrier and the flight (night or day).

Purchase

You can buy tickets quite easily in the offices travel companies, . You can find the address on the websites of these companies.
You can also book your pass online. But they still issue it in person at the offices of the same companies, that is, they exchange the reservation for a real ticket.
By the way, some hotels in Mui Ne provide services for booking and selling travel passes. But in this case you will have to pay a commission.

Mui Ne has long been considered a Vietnamese resort for Russians. Yes, yes, this place is so popular among residents of the Russian Federation that even shops, cafes and restaurants duplicate their signs and menus in Russian, and cinemas there even show Russian films. You won't believe it until you see it. :)
I came to Mui Ne from Dalat. I will tell you further what kind of transport you can use to travel from one city to another. So, let's go! :)

Automobile

One of the ways to travel from Dalat to Mui Ne is by car. You can rent it via the Internet on one of the sites similar to. If you haven’t found any current offers, then you can simply contact the reception of the hotel where you live and order a car right there.

The trip from Dalat to Mun will take four hours or more.

Although the cities are located 155 km from each other, however, it will not be possible to accelerate well for several reasons:

• there are speed limits - 50 km/h;
• The roads are narrow, and, in most cases, you will have to drive along serpentine roads with many sharp turns.

By the way, if you decide to travel by yourself by car (after all, you can rent a car directly with a driver), then you should first obtain a temporary driver’s license from the local department. Of course, most companies providing rental services often turn a blind eye to the lack of such rights. But, in the event of an accident or a stop by a traffic inspector, there can be big problems. Therefore, it is better to follow the rules and contact your local driver's department first. Among the documents required, there must be Russian and international rights (the text is translated into Vietnamese), a photo, a completed application form and a foreign passport.

Bus

If we talk about public transport, that is, there is only one option - the bus. There is no railway connection between these cities. I once thought that traveling by bus in Vietnam was not an option. For some reason I associated them with large crowds of people, stuffiness and the like. However, when I myself used the services of local carriers, I realized that I was mistaken.
Wonderful buses from The Sihn Tourist run from Dalat to Mui Ne.

They depart from the Dalat bus station, which is located far from the city center.

The most in a simple way to get there from the hotel is by taxi. There are several windows at the bus station where you can find out information about available flights. In this case, it is better to write the question on a piece of paper, which will make life easier for both you and the bus station employee. :)

By the way, some hotels also provide information about available flights to a particular city. Ask if necessary.
The duration of the trip is four hours. Not for very long, but a TV showing funny Vietnamese films will help pass the time, or beautiful landscapes outside the window.

Prices

The cost of a bus ticket from Dalat to Mui Ne is 99,000 dong (4.5 US dollars).

Purchase

You can buy tickets as follows:

By the way, if the purchase was made online, then upon checkout you only receive a voucher, which can then be exchanged for a ticket at the company’s office. The address of The Sihn Tourist is located on the web page that I indicated above.

Bottom line

I got to Mui Ne from Dalat by bus. Renting a car is not an option for me; I don’t have a driver’s license yet, so I had to use public transport.
I was satisfied. Although the bus was completely full, the cabin was not stuffy.

After the start, free water was distributed. Good service.

Arriving in Dalat, the first thing we decided to do was immediately buy tickets to Mui Ne. But it turned out to be not as simple as we thought. It was not possible to get bus tickets at the Dalat bus station. Local bus companies There are no buses to Mui Ne and Phan Thiet. At least that's what they told us at the box office.

Fortunately, the office of Sincafe (a well-known tourist transport company) was literally a few steps from the hotel where we rented a room. We bought tickets to Mui Ne in Sincafe for 319 thousand dong for one and calmed down.

A few days later, having enjoyed the mountainous Dalat and being slightly frozen in it, we left for Mui Ne. The road Dalat - Mui Ne was very beautiful and very tiring. I understood why many companies chose not to drive on it and not hit buses. In some places it seemed as if we were driving not along a road, but along a forgotten mountain path. The bus was old and barely pulled up the hill, sometimes practically stopping, wheezing heavily and tumbling over another hole.

The views outside the window slightly compensated for the difficult road, but when the sea finally appeared outside the window, we were extremely happy. End of the road! Instead of the stated 4 hours, we drove for almost 6.

And now - Mui Ne! The Sincafe office is located behind Boke, on the other side of the “Russian beach”. We popped into the hotel across the street and were very surprised when we were offered a room for three for $20. We heard a lot about how Mui Ne is no longer the same, that it has become expensive and show-offy, that there are only Russians here, and there is nothing to do at all.

Having been impressed by the “eyewitness accounts,” we expected to pay at least 30 bucks a day for the hotel. But, encouraged by the first price mentioned, we went to look further. We didn’t stay in that hotel opposite Sincafe. The rooms were only on the first floor, and there was a strong smell of dampness.

We found housing quite quickly, on the first line by the sea, with a Vietnamese owner who lived right there, a meter from the guesthouse. It was new, clean and bright, with large beds and a wide porch. All this beauty cost 16 dollars.

The sea was very close. I can't say that the beach was great. But you have to understand that Mui Ne is not Phu Quoc, and the beaches here are generally tense. Although we later found absolutely amazing beaches some distance from the center of Mui Ne. I will definitely write about them.

As for prices in Mui Ne... In Mui Ne we got the best cheap holiday. Food is inexpensive, there is not much entertainment, and those excursions that are available are either free or very inexpensive. But there is plenty of time to ride a bike to the dunes and to distant beaches. And if you don’t want to go anywhere, you can just sit by the sea and watch the kiters. Or play billiards in a nearby cafe. Or sit on the porch of your guest house and chat with your neighbors about anything and everything.

Mui Ne somehow reminded me of Goa. Probably the atmosphere. No one is in a hurry or fussing. Everyone is relaxed and smiling, happy with life, themselves, the warmth and the sea. Fine!

True, all this concerns the place where we lived. For Boke. Boke is a promenade in Mui Ne. Where the “Russian beach” has more bustle, as well as Russian tourists, the prices are higher and in general something is wrong. We felt comfortable in our poverty-stricken area, where mostly foreigners settled in budget guesthouses, where we could eat in local Vietnamese cafes and love each other in the evenings on a completely empty beach.

Phan Thiet turned out to be a very nice and bright town with wonderful beach And cozy cafes with delicious coffee.

The days in Mui Ne flew by very quickly. The first few days were completely calm and no waves. And then, to the delight of kiters and surfers, windy weather set in. But we were already getting ready to go. Saigon again, and then home, home...
