5.00The full-day tour from Lima to Paracas and Huacachina was an amazing experience, combining wildlife, desert landscapes, and adventure in one day. The Ballestas Islands were full of marine life, and the Huacachina oasis was perfect for sandboarding and dune buggy rides. Everything was well organized, and the guide made the trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Two amazing destinations in one day

5.00I made the full day trip from Lima to Paracas and the Huacachina Oasis and it was an amazing experience. From the beginning everything was well organized, and in Paracas I really enjoyed the tour of the islands and their seascapes. Then Huacachina was simply spectacular, with its huge dunes and the adrenaline of the buggy and sandboard ride. It was a long but very complete day, perfect to meet two unique destinations in a short time. Definitely highly recommended.
Just amazing.

5.00Ica and Paracas are amazing destinations for a short break. In Ica, the oasis of Huacachina offered me a lot of adrenaline with buggy and sandboard rides, as well as delicious food and wines. On the other hand, Paracas surprised me with its natural landscapes, especially the Paracas National Reserve and the Ballestas Islands, where I could see its marine fauna. Just amazing.
Amazing Experience!

Everything was beautifully organized, from the stunning coastal views in Paracas to the unforgettable adventure in the desert oasis. A huge thank you to our tour guide, Celeste, who truly made the trip special. She was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and always made sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of. Her energy and passion really brought the whole experience to life. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Peru—it’s the perfect mix of natural beauty, adventure, and great company. Thank you, Celeste, for making it so memorable!
Amazing day of adventure and nature!

5.00The tour to Paracas and Ica from Lima was the best decision. The Ballesta Islands are impressive for the number of sea lions and penguins you can see up close. The adrenaline rush on the buggies through the dunes of Huacachina was the best thing of the day, and ending with a pisco tasting in Ica was the perfect closure. It is a long day and starts early, but it is totally worth it for the scenery and organization. Highly recommended!
