“This was an incredible experience! Don’t forget to bring a buff to protect your face from the sand. The views and photos were amazing. It was my first time doing this, and Tony’s mentoring helped me stand and slide through the dunes. I tried sandboarding, but the sand skiing looked just as fun as sandboarding. The boogie is super fun!”

The afternoon activity was also fun and well organized.Auto-translated”

Review of Huacachina’s sandboard and sandski tour, with dune-buggy rides, sunset views, photos, gear, timing, price, and booking tips.
“This was the highlight of our two week trip to Peru! We chose this company because they specifically mentioned they do sand skiing in addition to sandboarding. They do ask that you have some snow skiing history, since it’s a bit harder than sand boarding. I’m no where near an expert at skiing and I was able to manage just fine. Our group of 7 had mixed skills but it was so fun to cheer each other on and watch the progress over the 6-7 runs that we did.

Review of Paracas buggy ride: drive through desert scenery, stop at beaches and viewpoints, and learn what to expect before booking.
“We got to place and we’re set with 3 buggies. 2ppl per buggy. Within a block first buggy broke down. Was replaced. We went on. And when we got to park another buggy could kot go full speed. They tried fixing it many times. Too many times in my opinion. We wasted half hour of tour before they sent for a replacement. Equipment was not what it should have been. Guide was good. I know he felt bad.”
