Gracias, Peru Hop! Gracias, Ricardo! - We had a very fulfilling experience, and our guide, Ricardo, was the best! He was kind, organized and gave us tips for the days to come. Paracas was beautiful, the oasis was breathtaking and the boogie and sand boarding were very exciting! I totally recommend the experience!

Sea lions, penguins and desert - We were impressed buy buggy in desert. We did not expect much but it was one of the best experience we have ever had, like roller coasters and even better! Sun set and landscape also were impressive.
The weather in October was nice and stable during the day, so you do not need any special cloths, but would be nice to have a hat for island because of wind.
Sea lions and penguins were super nice and you see sea lions super close, almost touching.

Great day trip from Lima! - Wow! What a great trip from start to finish. We visited Paracas and went on a two hour boat tour of the Ballestas Islands. We saw penguins, sea lions and lots of birds. Then we went to Huacachina and opted for the two hour dune buggy and sand boarding. It was so much fun! Definitely recommend paying the extra $10 usd for the upgrade to a 2 hour tour. Diego our tour guide was great!

Such a fun experience! - Diego was an amazing tour guide on our trip to Paracas and Huacachina. He thoroughly explained how the full day experience would go (in both English and Spanish). The day was quite long but so worth it. I highly recommend if you have the time. Also there’s a toilet on the bus which was a major plus!
