An exiting en very fast ride with good stops to enjoy, look around and take pictures. Really amazing experience. We got picked up at our hotel en transported with a really nice driver. We bought some mouthpieces to keep the sand out of our mouth and nose and walked to the buggy. Really amazing group who all wanted to go fast. The driver was more than happy to. Would absolutely recommend

Absolutely loved this tour - the sand dunes were beautiful and our driver and guide were excellent. Communication was great before hand and our private tour was tailored to suit our needs. We got to sand board down lots of dune, getting progressively bigger and then watched the sun set over the dunes. Would definitely recommend! Thank you

Full description

Explore Huacachina, the only oasis in Peru, in a truly thrilling way. Ride over the sand dunes in a 4x4 buggy before then taking part in a sandboarding session.

Start with pickup from Ica or Huacachina. Head to the oasis, and get the adrenaline pumping with a dune buggy ride. Feel as if you’re on a rollercoaster as you go up and down dunes of up to 30 meters in height. Take stops to snap photos of the desert landscape and the small lake surrounded by palm trees.

Next, try your hand at sandboarding down those same dunes. This experience is suitable for all skill levels, as you’ll be learning the best techniques from your driver.
Afterward visit one of the highlights of Huacachinha, the sunset over the desert. Enjoy incredible views of the sun going down, and find the best spot to snap photos with the help of your driver.

Choose the private option if you’d like to tailor the tour to your group’s preferences. Select a different route, explore other areas, and adjust the starting time.

We did a private afternoon tour. It was a little hot, but the afternoon was the only way we could make the tour work with our schedule. It was totally worth it! The dune buggy ride and sand boarding were a lot of fun. They picked us up and dropped us back at the bus station in Ica. It was a great experience!!! I recommend wearing sunscreen and bringing sunglasses or goggles. The only thing that would’ve made this better is if there was a way to rinse the sand off before getting back on the bus.
