Amazing!!!

Published on Mar, 2025

Amazing experience!!! Would recommend to everyone, it was a long day but our guide made the experience so easy and enjoyable. 10/10!

Book it!

Published on Feb, 2025

Very long day but worth it. It was a very organized pickup with constant updates via WhatsApp. 3 hour drive to Ballesta Islands, straight to breakfast (not included). Island boat ride was great! Captain gave plenty of time for both sides of the boat to take photos and see wildlife. Knowledgeable crew! We tasted chocolate at a nearby souvenir shop- no official speech or details. We did have a short presentation about the alpaca wool. Lunch was good (pay separate), made for large parties. Pisco tour and tasting was a lot of fun! The sand dunes were definitely the highlight. You are not able to drive the buggies but they go FAST and it is a wild ride!!! We had time after for body surfing down the dunes on the sand boards. We had a blast and left very sandy! The sunset was gorgeous! Make sure to carry as little valuables as possible for this. 4 hour ride home makes for a long day but very awesome experience!

Great Value! Recommended Day Tour from Lima

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour is an absolute must! You start early in the morning from Lima and head to Ballestas Islands, followed by pisco and wine tasting, and end at the Huacachina Oasis for dune buggy rides and sandboarding. At Ballestas Islands, you take a couple-hour boat tour where you can spot whales, the Nazca Lines, sea lions, and penguins. The nearby town is charming, and you can walk around to buy souvenirs. Next, you head to Ica to enjoy a beautiful sunset while trying a variety of pisco and wines. Lunch is also included here. Finally, you visit the incredible Huacachina Oasis, surrounded by endless desert dunes. You get to ride dune buggies for an exhilarating experience and try sandboarding—it’s unforgettable! This tour is absolutely worth it! We chose to stay overnight and arranged a private car to return to Lima the next day, but most people head back the same day. Highly recommend it!

Stunning Views and Great Experience Sand Boarding!

Published on Oct, 2024

From start to finish the tour was well organised and instructions clearly given via Whatsapp. We started with a simple boat tour at Paracas followed by the sand dunes at Huacachina. The rides on the sand buggy’s was thrilling and fun and the sand boarding experience was great too! Ended the day with beautiful sunset pics on the sand dunes.

Great tour
