Lots of Fun - You walk out to the desert where there are a ton of dune buggies just waiting. Your driver will then take you on an exhilarating ride through the dunes. That's followed by some time sandboarding down the dunes at pretty impressive speeds. Our driver even stopped so that we could watch the sunset before heading back. We booked with Arenas.

Both activities very strenuous - Not sure if this is the company we did this activity with. It was booked through our peru hop guide. They take you in the buggy out to where you sandboard. We were allowed to go down a total of 6 dunes. Walking up, in the loose sand was pretty hard. Neither of these activities are advised if you have any back, neck or cardiac issues. The buggy rides are super rough, bouncing you all over the place. We met tourists whose tour co cancelled their buggy ride because someone died during 1 of these rides in 2018 at huacachina. Sunset was beautiful to see. Only 15$/50 soles per person.

Nauris - Disappointed... Driver arrived late, I asked him about professional gear to rent out but he said it's to lait for that, I thought ok Fu*k it I'll use the one he provides then , Turns out the ones he had was just a wood planc with straps to hold on and you are not allowed to stand on it ( lying down on your stomach only ) Its made me giggle and I end up sitting in the buggy car taking some cool pictures of the desert for two hours and NOT SANDBOARDING TRAVELLER- if you prebook your trip make sure you had your snowboard prerented cuz the driver/guide is not going to wait for you. For them you are just a quck $$$ to earn and after 2hr there will be other group of turist and again and again ect....

Non-Existent Huacachina Tour - I booked this experience and was followed up with an email confirming my reservation and giving instructions for a meeting point. We arrived right on time, to only find out this "La Bamba Sand Buggy Experience" didn't exist at this place. The hostel said they had heard of quite a few guests looking for "La Bamba" but it simply did not exist. We ended up having to pay for another Sand Buggy and Sand Board rental through the Desert Nights Hostel. It ended up working out for us, but we discourage you from booking this one in particular.
