If you are tired of Saigon, this tour is ideal to run away. Mue ne is beautiful and different from the rest of Vietnam, unique and worth a visit. Unfortunately our bus had some trouble and we arrived 1300 instead of 1130. Jhonny arranged lunch for us. It does involve a lot of travelling though. The quad bikes are expensine (600k dong for a couple of minutes) but still a must do. Also Mue ne is very polluted but the sand dunes are wonderful to look at. The program is varies a lot.

The tour itself was amazing! We had a lot of fun ATV riding on the sand dunes. Highly recommend getting a driver for the ATV they go so fast it’s so fun. The description said you could choose sunrise or sunset tour however we weren’t given the option. We would have liked to have done the sunrise tour but sunset tour was what we got. The tour guide and driver were friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this tour especially with the 1 night stay at a beachfront resort :)

Mega tour. Starts at 7:30 a.m., ends at 10 p.m. Great for escaping the heat in Saigon. The bus ride was great, after which you have 1.5 hours of free time. Then we went to the stream with a free drink (I recommend the strawberry 🍓 shake), to a fishing village (you can take mussels with you), white sand dunes (do the ATV tour!) and finally the sunset. After that we had a small dinner and then went back in the sleeper bus. Johnny is super helpful and caring!

It has been a great activity and highly recommended. We had a great day and especially thank our guide Thuy who accompanied us the entire tour. She was very kind and friendly at all times. She made everything easy for us, always willing to help or take photos on her own. We had a great time at the activity. Thanks Thuy

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Transportation was effortless and the food provided was just right. Definitely recommend this trip.
