The guide makes the tour - You truly will spend 16+ hours on this tour but the experiences are worth it. The boat tour part is very crowded. Tony our tour guide was very patient and entertaining. As a solo traveler I never felt left out and there were a few of us in the big group. He did an outstanding job. Hatchachiena(?) was the best part with off roading.

An intense day visiting beauties of Peru - We left early (5 am) to get to Paracas first, with a pit stop to get a delicious breakfast (pan con chicharrones highly recommended). After a few hours, we got to Paracas, where a boat tour took us to visit el Candelabro de Paracas as well the local fauna on the nearby islands. We were lucky enough to see plenty of pelicans, cormorants and see lions, as well and some penguins. Really gorgeous. We then moved to Ica, where we had lunch in a restaurant and had a Pisco tasting, that does cheer you up. We lastly got to Huacachina, where some dune buggies drove us up and down the sand dunes and dropped us to do some sand boarding. We then got back to huacachina, where we rested a few minutes for pictures of the oasis as the sun was setting, fantastic view. Highly recommended day, also thanks to Jesus, who was able to entertain us during the day as well as guide us and inform us about everything surrounding us.

Best Day in Peru! - This tour with Miguel was SO FUN and was truly my most fun day in Peru (and I did a lot in a week!) The day continues to get better with increasing pleasant surprises. It's really cool to continue to learn more about the culture of different areas in Peru. Miguel made sure everyone had a fun time and that we were able to capture special pictures and videos. Out of all the tour options for Paracas and Huacachina Oasis, pick this tour!

An expensive Scam. Avoid this company. - Collectively my friends and I spent $520 USD on this tour. The guide removes a large chunk of the itenary We were supposed to have 2 hours on a boat on ballestas islands to see the animals. The Harbour had been closed since the day prior. The company and the guide knew this and intentionally did not tell us until we arrived in Paracas. Did not give us an opportunity to change the date. Instead we were taken to a tiny beach for 30 minutes but no one had swimwear because it was never advised to us to pack it, even though they knew we would not get to the islands and may go here instead. The viator booking advertises that we will finish in huacacina with sand buggy & sunset. This did not happen. Instead we went to huacacina for 1 hour at lunch time. 1 hour of san buddy & boarding. Then we went to lunch at 3pm because the tour guide wanted to get food and alcohol tasting and go home quickly. When I asked him about sunset and the itenary on viator, he said they never do the sunset and it was better to spend time eating and drinking amd get home fast The guide Tony had no interest in following the promised itinerary or providing value, he wanted to rush home and quickly get through everything. In paracas I asked him to stop at some flamingos that we saw and he did not. We paid to see animals on the islands and the 1 animal we do see he would not stop at. When I asked him why we were not sticking to the itenary he was rude and passive aggressive about it and told me it was better to spend longer eating and drinking, saying they did not promise sunset and never do it. They itenary that was promised was not delivered. Book with a reliable company Like Peru Hop. This was the most expensive way to see huacacina and the ballestas and all we got was 1 hour in Huacacaina.
