Itinerary
The first stop will be the Ballestas Islands, home to over 50 animal species—most notably colonies of sea lions and Humboldt penguins. We will tour the islands for approximately two hours, during which we will explain the famous "Candelabra" geoglyph—which we will view—and the diverse marine wildlife inhabiting the area.
Next, we will visit a winery to sample our national spirit, Pisco, as well as drinks made from it. We will explain the production process so you can fully appreciate its fantastic flavor while enjoying some fun, traditional toasts. We will have a great time and enjoy lunch there.
We will arrive at the famous Huacachina desert, which has a beautiful oasis where we will walk. In the desert with the instructions of a specialized instructor, you will do the famous sandboarding( non-professional table) and have a ride at high speed on the buggies in the dunes of up to 150 meters. We will have a moment of great adrenaline and then we will enjoy the spectacular view to take photos.

This is an all day experience and the time is structured to enable a reasonable return time. The activities were well coordinated and the experience was exceptional.
Excellent excursion, I recommend it, the company fulfilled everything promised! Good activity to know a beautiful part of Peru in just one day
Outstanding day tour, perfect for cruise passengers! We are a family of four on a cruise that docked in Pisco. Adanny Tours was very easy to book and communicate with. After booking and paying beforehand all we had to do was send a message with our name and arrival time, and Alvaro and Arturo were the very first people we saw when we stepped out, standing ready with a sign. It could not have been easier. At the chaotic harbour for the Ballestas Islands, Alvaro got us onto a boat effortlessly and made sure we had the best seats on board. At Huacachina everything was organised down to the last detail, both the dune buggy ride and the sandboarding. So much fun! They were with us the whole way, took photos for us and made sure everything went at our own pace. The day was carefully planned so we were back in good time for the last bus to the ship, with no stress at all. You just tell them what time you need to be back and they will be taking care of the schedule for you. Alvaro and Arturo are professional, competent and genuinely pleasant company. If you are visiting on a cruise, this duo will guarantee you a fantastic day. Highly recommended!
It was a busy day but it was so organized. Not a second wasted. So much adventure was explored from the sea to the desert. It was perfect
Spanish It was a very well-organized tour and I recommend it. They picked us up promptly in front of our lodging and we stayed on the same bus during the entire tour with our guide, Moisés, who was very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. You can bring a backpack with your belongings. The first stop was to buy breakfast. Afterward, we went to Paracas to visit the Ballestas Islands and observe sea lions, penguins, and many birds. We only saw one penguin, but that depends on nature. I recommend bringing a coat because it is quite cold on the boat. Later, we had time to browse the shops before going to the restaurant. Lunch is not included, but there are several options. They also offered an excellent wine and pisco tasting there. If you like any, I recommend buying it there because it is difficult to find later. The last activity was the buggies and sandboarding on the dunes, an exciting and very fun experience. Bring a mask or something to cover your face, since there is a lot of sand. The return trip was a bit long, but we made a stop to buy snacks and use the restroom. They picked us up around 4:00 a.m. and we returned at approximately 8:30 p.m., dropping us off at the same place where the tour began. It is a long tour, but very varied and worth it. English This was a very well-organized tour, and I highly recommend it. We were picked up on time right in front of our hotel and stayed on the same bus for the entire trip with our guide, Moisés, who was friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. You can bring a backpack with your belongings. Our first stop was to buy breakfast. We then traveled to Paracas to visit the Ballestas Islands, where we saw sea lions, many birds, and one penguin. Wildlife sightings vary, so seeing fewer penguins is completely natural. Be sure to bring a jacket because it gets quite cold on the boat. Afterward, we had some free time to visit the shops before lunch. Lunch is not included, but there are plenty of options. The restaurant also offered an excellent wine and pisco tasting. If you find one you like, buy it there because it's difficult to find later. Our last stop was Huacachina for the dune buggy ride and sandboarding. It was fast-paced, exciting, and a lot of fun. Bring a face covering or mask because the sand gets everywhere. The ride back was a little long, but we stopped for snacks and a restroom break. We were picked up around 4:00 a.m. and returned around 8:30 p.m., right where we had been picked up. It's a long day, but it's a diverse and worthwhile tour.
This tour was incredible! The boat ride in Paracas was so soothing and peaceful. Watching the penguins, birds, and sea lions was also so beautiful. Going to the desert in Huacachina was also such a fun experience m. We were very dirty from the sand at the the end, but it was so worth it. The pisco tasting was cute but very brief. It did not really stand out very much. Overall, great experience though that I would definitely do again.
The tour was great! Alvaro and Felix were great guides that were also very attentive to us throughout the trip. The hotel pick up and drop off were easy. The trip to Huacachina wasn’t bad since we had a couple of stops along the way. Huacachina and activities were AMAZING! We had so much fun on the buggies and sandboarding with Jhonny. The trip back is a bit long, but worth the trip. I previously read a review that was helpful to me prior to the trip: Stop 1 - Breakfast (not incl.) Stop 2 - Paracas around 9am for boat ride around Ballestos Island (90 mins) + walking around Paracas until around 11am Stop 3 - Ica at El Huarango around 12:30pm for Piscos + wine (incl.) + lunch (not incl.; about $20 a person, 65/s) Stop 4 - Huacachina around 3pm + sand buggies + sandboarding Around 4:30pm, long ride back to Lima (about 5 hours) - one stop at gas station around 7:30pm for snacks/bathroom Drop-Off around 9:45pm-10pm Highly recommend booking this tour! We had a blast and can’t stop talking about it. I’d only recommend the company to keep the A/C on because we got a little warm for such a long trip. But once again, our guides were great!
The whole experience was amazing. The dunes in Huacachina are an out of this world experience! My 8yo and 6 yo did great (they are very adventurous and enjoy thrilling experiences!)
As advertised this is a very long tour. As more than half the time is spent on the coach, it was poor that the A/C was not put on when requested and that there was no lighting for most of the trip. It was also darker because of the front being screened off which also meant you couldn’t see where you were going. On a positive note the seats were extremely comfortable The 2 main activities were well managed and good
Beautiful place . Angela was excellent.
