Just a day packed with adventure - Would rate 10 stars if I could. Really fun, really professional, really accommodating. A full day of adventure with really really comfortable transportation in and out of ho chi Minh city. The jeeps that take you through mui ne are old soviet UAZs that have been reupholstered, but they're breezy and it's an experience in and out of itself. Highly recommend.

Great trip to Mui Ne - Team Johnny was amazing. No frills booking. Everything was smooth all the way till we arrived at our drop-off point at HCMC. The tour guide spoke very good English and did not cut corners. Shared with us lots laughter. The jeep ride was a bit old but windy. Driver encouraged us to connect to his BT device to play our music too! The sleeper bus was comfortable too!

Excellent All Day Tour - The Tour was excellent. You start at the Nam Hai, 229 pham ngu lao street in district 1. The bus journey was a nice way to catch up on sleep (it had wifi and some tv for entertainment) and once you finish the bus journey, you wait at the travel office in Mui Ne where you get food before you go on the tour. Our tour guide was great, the jeep ride everywhere was great too. We explored the fairy stream first, followed by some drinks, then a trip to the beach to view the fishing boats/market. Then a trip to the side of a beach where you can take pictures on the Jeep. Then we drove to the ATV/quadbike site where we rode on the quadbikes on the dunes (800k vietnamese dong for a quadbike which holds 2 people and a member sits next to you for safety). It's a 20min ride if you pay to drive the quads and they let you drive again if you need to shelter yourself from the rain. The other option cost the same but I think you only get 5mins and some pictures? The ATVs/Quadbike dunes were super fun and highly recommended if you like a bit of thrill and don't mind a slightly bumpy ride. Just hold onto your belongings if the driver needs to take over to shelter you from the rain. Then after you drive to the other Red Sand dunes, where if it's sunny/dry you can surf down the dunes as there's a lady who offers the sand carpet thing. Then you finish and drive back to the travel office for the second round of food before you get back on the bus back home. FYI, from the district 1 meeting point, you will take a mini van to transfer you to the main sleeper bus journey. But on the bus back, you wont need a transfer as it'll drop directly at district 1 meeting point. This was due to some traffic rules or so by the government. Be prepared to get sand over you on this trip and maybe bring some wet wipes or a micro fibre towel to dry yourself. Wear breathable clothes (or whatever you want when you get some aesthetic pictures on the jeep) Bring a change of clothes in a waterproof bag in case you get caught in rain because it starts REAL fast and hard as you cant put on a poncho in time. My clothes got a bit wet but I managed to get dry on the sleeper bus back. Your shoes will need to be cleaned from the sand and dried once back. Great fun highly recommend.

Mui Ne Full Day Trip - Amazing experience. The bus ride, the fishermen bay, the sand-dunes, water walk and the sunset. The food provided at the end of the trip was also delicious. The guide was a very nice lady. She gave us enough time to go at our own pace, explaining things whenever needed.
