Honestly, the dunes look smaller in person than on Instagram, but the weirdly distinct red and violet sediment layers still impress. Go early to dodge the busloads of day-trippers that swarm the park by noon. The viewing platforms provide the best angles for photos. Don't leave without walking the extra ten minutes to see the massive Chamarel Waterfall. A private taxi tour is the easiest way to manage this without stressing about island transit.
