Great one day trip from Lima and back

It was great trip….. picked up from the hotel in Lima at 535 am got to paracas at 915. Got to walk around till the boat tour started at 10. It went for 2 hours. After that from 12-130 was free time. @ 130 went to ica. Got there around 3. Dune tour from 4-6. Left ica around 7 and was back in the hotel room by 1130……. Suggestion I would not buy from the food places they recommend on the bus….. there is plenty of places to eat and you have time. But overall I would do the trip again.

I went on this tour with my 10 & 14 year old sons. We all loved it. The boat ride, the animals. The sand dunes, the oasis, the dune buggies and the sandboarding. All of it! The guide, Día, was well organized and very helpful. The driver for thé dune buggies in group 10 was safe, had good explanations but really made it fun. Such a memorable experience!

Paracas and Huacahina

Overall, I would rate the trip as good to very good but not outstanding (7.5/10). The trip was very long - we were picked up at 540 an and made it back at 1145 pm and we were one of the lucky ones who were picked up last and dropped off first. The bus, however, was comfy, so that was good. The bus ride to Paracas took 3 hrs. We then had about 1.5 hrs on a speed boat. On the way out, we saw a very interesting geoglyph (like nazca lines) which was very interesting. The Paracas islands were OK. There were 3 or 4 beaches with hundreds of seals and sea lions, which were cool, if you never seen them before. However, we have seen them in our native country, so it wasn’t quite as nice. Lots of birds and only a few penguins. We then had a nice lunch and a 1 hr 15 min bus ride to Huacachina, which gave us a chance to relax and have a brief nap. The oasis town is very interesting. Two hours were scheduled for dune bugging and sand boarding. This was definitely the highlight of the trip, but it was short. More time sand boarding would be better. The dune buggy rides were really fun. The sand boarding was really fun.

Good day out

he tour was good. Ballestas islands is pretty but Huacachina is really amazing. the oasis is very pretty and sand boarding in the desert is really a once in a life time experience. What fall short is that we didnt stop to overlooking the oasis to take pictures. the guild did not give enough instruction and leading to late start and late leave. Time could have been more well spent rather than waiting for others and then learn that they are actually not going for the buggy ride
