Fantastic - Don’t miss out! We had so many good experiences with this tour thanks to Diego, the boat trip was exciting and we saw many sea lions and some penguins, bagging was also rough and extreme. A few things to note for tourists:
1) no bfast or lunch - take snacks and more cash with you (we took 100 soles pp and ran out)
2) take 2-2.5l of water
3) they will try to sell you bandanas in the oasis- you don’t need them, better take a scarf with you
4) pls don’t go with kids or if you get sick on the road - it’s 4,5h one way and 2h of speed boat
The only thing is that it was not very time sensitive- I wish they encouraged ppl to stick with the schedule more, otherwise- great tour !

Top day in Paracas/Huacachina - Brilliant day in Paracas and Huacachina. There was so much packed in but enough free time to grab a drink or explore the local area. Thanks to Diego for his patience and leading the group for a very long day, but totally worth it. The Sand Buggy was the highlight for us. Highly Recommend!

Great trip! - The trip was really good. Just sad that they split up the group for the sandboarding because I didn't know anyone that we had spending the day with. And also they should be more clear about the time. For example nazca lines I couldn't find any information in the booking what time the pickup was and I also wrote in the chat but didn't get any response. So they called me and said you have 5 minutes to get ready from I was sleeping so it was a really stressful morning. Otherwise it was a very good trip!
