1.Paracas and Huacachina Oasis Full Day Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,780 reviews · 18 hours · from $59Our pick

Leave Lima before sunrise for Paracas and Huacachina with a bilingual guide such as Franklin, Aymeth, Fio, or Diego. Ride a comfortable coach to Ballestas Islands, visit a pisco vineyard, then take an optional buggy and sandboarding run across Huacachina’s dunes before returning late at night.

“A day that is close to perfection to be honest. The value for money is incredible with having the boat tour into morning in Paracas finishing off with the headliner that is Huacachina. Huacachina is really a wonder in itself with the sand buggys on the dunes and sand boarding aswell with an incredible sunset. 10/10”

Start before dawn from Miraflores and spend a packed day seeing sea lions and Humboldt penguins at Ballestas, tasting pisco and wine in Ica, then riding dune buggies and sandboarding at Huacachina. Guides such as Mayor, Alvaro, and Anthony are noted for keeping the long ride lively.

“The activities in this trip were fun and very well organized, but beware, it IS a super long day (17+ hours). The day is full of activities and flies by, but the return ride home drags on forever. We were picked up at 4:30a and dropped off at 9:45p. We booked an English tour but we were the only 2 English speaking passengers out of 32 on this trip. The guide did the entire tour in Spanish and then came and gave us a shortened description in English. It wasn't ideal and made us feel isolated as it did not allow us to mingle with other passengers on this tour.…”

Mayer was a great guide and kept us organized and on time the whole way. The islands were beautiful, the sand buggy rides were a blast and the food at the winery was great. We highly recommend. Definitely dress in layers because the island trip can be chilly but the dessert of course is hot.”
