Thrills and Chills. - The guide Jenny, was punctual, communicative, and organized throughout the tour. She got us to each site promptly and explained details in both Spanish and English. She was very helpful if translation was needed. Each tour was an incredible experience, the islands geology (sea caves and arches) and wildlife were fascinating, giving me chills, and the onboard bi-lingual guides were informative. Lunch was delicious, the restaurant gives large portions, the pisco-wine tasting and the staff was entertaining, but the most exciting was the dune buggy riding. The driver made sure we had a (safe and) thrilling experience and the sand boarding was intense! Wear layers, cold start and ending, hot during mid day. Definitely recommended if you’re adventurous, solo or group. The only thing I’d criticize is the long (3-4hrs) and early drive (4-5am) from Lima, and other tour group standing on the boat ride blocking your view if you also don’t stand, but it’s out of the tour companies control, and still worth it if you’re looking for an exciting full day.

Huacacachina - It was a low impact, active adventure. Took a boat ride in Paracas then had lunch while taking in how Peru makes Pisco and wine. Last we went to Huacachina to ride the dunes and sand board with some awesome people we enjoyed this time with. I would no doubt do theis all over again.
