Review of Lima's long Paracas and Huacachina day trip, with Ballestas wildlife, pisco tasting, dune buggies, and sandboarding.
“Initially, we were a bit apprehensive about the tour because it is a very long day with a 4:30 am pick up. However, it was well worth it! You get to do and learn so much in one day. 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.”

“Ceaser our guide was very good,perfect English and informative to our questions about culture,education etc.the sights were interesting.enjoyed the wild life lots of sea birds,sea lions etc up close that surprised us how active they all were. Nazca flight very good saw all the lines. Plane was agile and as result some were queezy or sick thou. Saw everything as promised. Expensive but you can appreciate a private car,guide,flight involved etc it does depend on what interests you.if old buildings and markets are your thing you won't like it. no time for shopping and not much stopping for photos on the way as time is always on the table- just…”

“One of the best tours ever! It has a boat ride, wildlife sightings, desert buggy drive, pisco tasting, sandboarding, and free desserts tasting. Our tourguide Oswaldo is the best, he had so much energy and provided great service from at 4am until 11pm when the tour ended. He had speakers for music to make the mood great, candies/oil for sea sickness, and provided interesting info about the sites. He even facilitated the pisco sour tasting which was great! Our driver wilfredo drove smoothly as well, the bus was very comfortable which was helpful as it was a long drive. 100/10 would recommend!”

“Adoromos o passeio, nossa guia, Mishell foi incrível, aprendemos muito sobre o Peru, a cultura, costumes e história pre colombiana. O passeio pra Islas Ballestas é lindo, mas leve blusa, faz frio no barco, o cheiro de fezes de ave é bem forte, mas é parte do local mesmo, não tem jeito! Vimos muitas aves marinhas, alguns pinguins de Humboldt e muitos lobos marinhos. Já em Huacachina se prepare pra levar protetor solar, o sol do deserto queima muito. O passei de buggy foi bem radical, adoramos, visuais incriveis e únicos do oasis, vale a pena escorregar de sandboard se tiver coragem, mas tire coisas de valor do bolso e…”
