Highlights
-
Dito Sand Xsports - This is a tour for Skiers and Snowboarders who ride on snow. (Also for snowboarder’s beginners).
The 1st hour, we walk around 10 minutes to the training area. If you snowboard / Ski, we do short runs to adapt to the sand, or you take sandboard lessons. We also teach you how to wax boards.
The next 2 hours, we enjoy the adrenaline in our funny dune buggy to go around the desert of Huacachina to ride the highest sand dunes. In average, we have 4 runs, and if we have enough time, we do 5 runs.
All the time you are with a guide instructor, he rides together with you and takes pictures and videos with a GoPro during all the tour.
There is going to be time for sunset before we go back to Huacachina, where we will share all the gopro pictures & videos with you. (You need to bring a pendrive or SD card to tranfer all the files) .

Unsurpassed! 100% recommended - Everything, absolutely everything perfect!
Amazing Sunset, the super friendly and didactic teachers, is truly an unforgettable experience. You get to dunes super far from the oasis, almost just for the experience with the buggie is worth it! And they take photos and videos too good... thank you so much!

Dito is the best! - Ditp was incredible! Our bus dropped us off late in Huacachina and all of the tour groups had already left for sunset—Dito organized a last minute private trip for us that was the highlight of our time in Peru so far. Dito is super knowledgeable about sand boarding and sand skiing. He knows the best spots, takes the best picture and videos, and makes the best apres ski drinks! 10/10 could not recommend more

Exceptional desert experience - The tour with Tony was amazing!
From the ride with the desert buddies to the sunset in the desert and the final après-ski. Everything was fantastic and very well organized. The small group meant that Tony was able to take time for each individual and explain the principles well.
I'll definitely be back!

Absolute awesome - If you go sand boarding or skiing you can’t walk past Dito. These guys are absolute pros and wonderful humans. If you are lucky Dito will be there himself and teach you sand boarding. Or you are in best hands with Antonio who is amazing on the board and shoots fantastic videos. An amazing experience with champions. Thanks guys for this wonderful afternoon 🙏

Great team and awesome tour! - We went on a trip with Dito and his crew. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and taken care of.
First we had to fit the gear and get the sandboards. We brought our gear to the buggies and went for an awesome ride with the buggies.
It was my first time boarding but they taught me well and was able to do it already the first time! My girlfriend has more experience and they explained her some extra skills to make it more interesting for her. There was an experienced and less experienced group. We did in total around 10 downhill slopes. Plenty! When the sunset was starting we went to a view point to watch the sunset and take pictures.
On the way back the driver took us on a great ride with the buggies through the dark.
Once we got back it was time for some apres ski, we had a blast but you have to experience that for yourself. ;-)
Thanks to the crew and Dito we had a great time!
TEAM CURACAO 🤙

Unreal - Whole thing was incredible start to finish, the teachers were so patient and helpful, and everything was well planned and thought out. Experienced and beginner were put with separate teachers so no one was slowed down and rushed and it was an awesome experience. Thank you guys!

Exhilarating activity with insane views - Incredible experience. Aldahir was our guide / instructor and he was fantastic (to fit the activity in, we had a non-standard timeslot in the morning).
We were 3 skiers + 1 boarder + 1 belly-boarder and Aldahir made sure each one of us had an unforgettable experience. He also made sure to capture great videos of us on one of our phones so we could revisit the memories later.
The dune buggying was also very exciting and fun.

"One of the best days of my Life" -Max Prada, 9 years old - We chose Ditto because of the great reviews and they could not be more accurate. Upon arrival we were greeted by Jessica who is super nice and helpful. My personal guide was Aldahir, he is amazing and very patient. Mr. DItto himself was in charge of my wife and 9 year old boy who had at the end (in his own words) "one of the best days of my life".
Overall a great experience, highly recommended.
Pro tip: Nobody tells you this but the dune buggy ride is the best rollercoaster ride you have ever been in your life, EVER, hands down so hold tight and yell like crazy.
