A fabulous and varied day - This was a fully packed day with loads included, and so much fun. We did a lot in one very long day (4am to 11pm) making it great value for money. Our guide Oswaldo was hilariously wacky, but efficient and well organised - he kept us to schedule, and was prepared for almost everything (hand sanitiser, phone cables, toilet roll.......) The boat trip was great, we saw loads of different birds and so many sealions, but sadly no penguins (maybe they'd gone fishing). We wimped out of the sand boarding (it wasn't compulsory) but it was fun to watch others do it.

full day tour with islas paracas, pisco tour and huacachina - Excellent tour accompanied by Oswaldo. He never lacked energy and answered all our questions. He took us to a small sewing and silver workshop, waiting for the bus after the islands, which still used very interesting ancestral techniques. There's a lot of road ahead so be aware.

An absolutely unforgettable experience! - Our trip to Paracas and Huacachina exceeded all expectations. In the Ballestas Islands, we were amazed at the number of sea lions and Humbolt penguins; it is an impressive natural sight.

The best experience I had - An absolutely excellent experience and the best full-day that can be done from Lima. The tour is perfectly designed to combine nature, culture and pure adventure. The logistics were impeccable, from pick-up in Lima to return. Despite being a long day, the bus was comfortable and the itinerary was very well organized, allowing to enjoy without hurry

Best Trip Ever - It was a LONG DAY trip, 3am - 1am, but it was worth every penny. From seeing sea lions, to wine tasting, to sand dunes, to an oasis. It was a great way to end my time in Perú.

Lots of adrenaline and beautiful scenery - The visit to Paracas and Huacachina was an unforgettable experience. Although at first the weather did not accompany us, that did not stop us from enjoying the trip. The tour of the Ballestas Islands was fascinating, and the closure in Huacachina was just perfect: stunning dunes, dreamy sunset and lots of adrenaline. Undoubtedly, an adventure worth living. Thank you very much to Davi for being an excellent guide, always attentive, friendly and very willing. It made the experience even better!
