Excellent tour, we really enjoy and the guide Angela was very kind, always said many info about everything. The buggy was awesome. The boat trip we saw leon-seals, penguins, lot of birds, beautiful landscapes,etc.. The driver Barto is very profissional.

Our day started early as my partner and I were the first clients to be picked up. Both Bart the driver and Angela our host were magnificent and knowledgeable Bart handled the road with care and skill and Angela made sure we stuck to our schedule and gave us salient nuggets of information in a timely manner. Highly recommend

Angela and Barto were amazing! The whole trip was long but super fun and huacachina’s buggies and sand boarding are a most in Peru!

Great day tour. Fiorella was an excellent tour guide. She was informative, professional, and fun to be around! We were able to do many things. We saw sea lions, penguins, whales surprisingly, a desert oasis and spent time in the dunes as well. We ate at a local Peruvian restaurant as well. We covered a lot of ground in one day!

This was such a unique experience! Our guide, Fío, made it easy to navigate and was always there to help us. The dune buggy and sand boarding was a thrilling experience but the highlight was seeing the whales on the boat tour in Paracas! This is a fantastic way to get out of Lima for a day and see the beauty of Peru.

Alot of time travelling for not much pay off (around 8 hrs by van/bus). Once there its overcrowded and the oasis isn't isolated like pictures would suggest. The activities are misleading as the 2 hour dune buggy is 10 minutes in the buggy and the rest are stop offs. Food/entry is not included - a lot of tours in Peru add things in mid tour. Your mostly paying for transport not an experience
