One of my favorite places in Vietnam was Suôi Tiên or more commonly known as The Fairy Stream. Located just a few minutes from the center of the small resort town of Mui Ne, we had rented a motorbike for the day to get around. The varying hues of golden amber sand and the crisp, white limestone all surrounded by lush, green vegetation make this place a must-see.
At first glance, the water seemed dirty but it was actually quite clean - it down streams from the dunes giving it that argyle color. It was also very refreshing walking in the cool water especially on a hot and humid day at the end of April. The stream is absent of any rocks or pebbles making the river sand soft and cozy for your bare feet. Somewhat of a hidden gem, we hardly crossed paths with anyone else - being so peaceful and serene it was a perfect way to spend part of the afternoon.
There aren't any shops or vendors along the river so make sure to bring lots of water. The only thing you need to do is to take in the surroundings and enjoy the scenery. Who knows you might even meet a fairy along the way!

I don’t know why it’s called the Fairy Stream but I also thought it was very befitting for such a whimsical place! 🙂

I just love going on vacation and getting away from civilization for awhile. So often we end up visiting big cities and crowded attractions, that something like this hike would be a refreshing change of pace. Beautiful pictures!

It was such an incredible place and we had it all to ourselves! 🙂

All photos are amazing, I’m thinking about traveling around Indonesia and Vietnam next year and I’ll definitely check this list again, since these are the experiences I’m looking for when traveling to new place… no souvenir places around, no crowded tourist places and load of wild nature 🙂
I love it! Thanks for sharing

Hi Marina! So happy you added the Fairy Stream to your list of things to see in Vietnam. Hopefully it hasn’t gotten too crowded since I went 3 years ago. Enjoy!

Hmmmm…..I really don’t know about camping. It’s not common in Vietnam but it would be a great place to see the sunset and sleep under the stars. I don’t remember there being any bugs but maybe it depends on the time of year.
Don’t know where we’re off to next but we plan on escaping the awful Canadian winter. 😉

What a beautiful place. We travel with our own personal geologist (hubby) and he would LOVE to see those limestone features!

I’m sure he would be like a kid in a candy store! 😉

I loved all things fairies as a little girl so how could I not check this out. I’m heading to Vietnam for the first time in May next year and am beyond excited. I’ll have to squeeze this into the itinerary somehow.

If you go to Mui Ne, you’ll have time to go to the Fairy Stream. Enjoy Vietnam – it’s a great country!

I didn’t know there was a place like a fairy stream! Did you get a chance to see a fairy or become one? 😉 It’s aptly named because of it looks magical.
