Full description
Start with pickup from your hotel in Lima at around 05:00 AM, all depends your location in Lima, where you will board the coach for a 03:30-hour journey to Paracas town. Before getting to Paracas, we will stop to have breakfast. On your arrival in Paracas, make your way to the dock where you will board a speedboat to the Ballestas Islands. During your journey to Ballestas, see the enigmatic figure of the Candelabro, a stunning design drawn on the side of a hill in the Peninsula. There are many hypotheses regarding its origin, some believe it is related to the Nazca Lines but still found no proof or evidence that can define its creation. In the Ballestas Islands, you will see a stunningly rugged world filled with birds and sea lions. You will navigate around the islands at a distance allowed, and depending on the sea conditions, visit nearby caves. Return to the port at 11 am, and spend some time in Paracas where you will have free time for restrooms or a short time to relax. Then, continue to the next destination, Huacachina oasis. Have a small break to prepare for your desert tour; then board a buggy for 1-hour adventure across the sand dunes that surround the water source. Return to Huacachina and have time for refreshment. Continue towards to traditional vineyard and taste the best of the local wine and Pisco or lunch at the vineyard restaurant, then Drive back to Lima arriving and dropping off at your hotel. At around 21:30 or 22 pm On this one-day tour, you will have an assistant guide on the trip who will help you with your concerns on your trip.

This was a full fun day tour from pickup at 5am to drop off around midnight. Our guide Nilo was excellent at keeping us informed throughout the day. We drove for about an hour and a half before stopping for takeout breakfast then continued on to Paracas where we boarded the boat to the Ballestas. Lunch was included in the cost and was very tasty. One of the owners of the restaurant then told us about the distillation of pisco and we were treated to a tasting. The highlight of the day was being driven over the sand dunes and experiencing sand boarding. If I were to find myself returning to Peru I would definitely choose to do this trip again.

Don’t miss this tour. Such a great experience. They picked me up on time in a comfortable bus. The tour guide was attentive and super friendly. The Ballestas Islands are beautiful and if you like the adrenaline gonna love the sandboard and buggies in the desert. This tour is a must in your trip to Lima.

What a day! Amazing from start to end! The guides were really friendly, organised and informative. We saw and got up close to sea lions, penguins and pelicans on the boat tour, had a great lunch and wine/pisco tasting in Ica and topped it all off with a crazy fun time dune bugging and sandboarding in haucachina. 100% recommended and fantastic value for money!
