3.Sunrise or Sunset Jeep Tour & Quad Bike With Driver

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 134 reviews · 4 hours · from $27Best value

This four-hour group tour takes you by jeep from Mui Ne or Ham Tien to the White and Red Sand Dunes, a fishing village, and Fairy Stream. The ATV ride is included, shared with a local driver, and the route works for sunrise or sunset. Drivers such as Steven, Anh, and Mr. Phuoc have been praised for friendly service and good photo stops.

“A great trip— a beautiful sunset eluded us at the end because of the clouds but otherwise a great afternoon. Our guide Steven was excellent. ATV was a must. If there was one thing that could be improved it would be a little longer at fairy stream because it’s a trek there and back along the stream. Just felt a bit rushed but I’m nit picking.”

“Contraté un tour de 4h porque tenía un viaje en bus luego. La sorpresa es una vez en el barco me dicen que son 6 horas, por lo que no llegaba. Me salvó que la tripulación eran buenas personas y me ayudaron vía telefónica y acelerando.”
