The experience was excellent. It was a small group with a big bus. We were able to recline our seats as the bus was extremely comfortable. We enjoyed all three tours Ballestas Island, pisco and wine tour as well as Huachachina which was the best. Book with them for the best experience. We got a Hostel if we needed to change and freshen up as well....Great tour.

Horrible customer service, bad experience

Nadine_G, May 2026

NO RECOMENDADO. El servicio a clientes ha sido pésimo. Hasta un día de la actividad no respondieron a mensajes y nadie respondió el teléfono. No sabíamos a qué hora y de donde nos iban a recoger. La actividad en barco así como la comida y cata de vinos fue nada espectacular, puro engaño de turista. La Huacachina muy cool, pero se puede hacer eso sin tour y con mucho menos coste. Además, íbamos a volver al día siguiente, lo cual fue agendada con la agencia anteriormente por escrito. Luego tan simplemente dijeron que “no había disponibilidad” y que “lamentan mucho”. La Sra. Ximena de la agencia no respondió llamadas y empezó a insultarme por whatsapp. Me dejaron plantados con mi abuela de 78 años y un niño menor. Y no querían reembolsar nada para los inconvenientes ! NO RECOMENDADO NOT RECOMMENDED. Customer service was absolutely terrible. Until the day before the activity, they did not reply to messages and nobody answered the phone. We had no idea what time we would be picked up or even from where. The boat activity, food, and wine tasting were nothing special at all — just another tourist trap. Huacachina itself was very cool, but honestly, you can do that on your own for much less money. On top of that, we were supposed to return the next day, which had already been arranged with the agency in writing beforehand. Then they suddenly said there was “no availability” and that they were “very sorry.” Ms. Ximena from the agency ignored phone calls and even started insulting me on WhatsApp. They left us stranded with my 78-year-old grandmother and a young child. And despite all the inconvenience, they did not want to offer any refund at all! NOT RECOMMENDED

Response from Host, May 2026

We are sorry to read that your experience ended with frustration, as this is never the experience we aim to provide to our travelers. However, we would like to respectfully clarify a few important points for transparency. The service reserved by the passenger corresponded to our standard same-day Paracas & Huacachina tour, which includes return to Lima on the same day, exactly as described on the booking platform and confirmation details. At no point did the original reservation include accommodation or return transportation on the following day. As a courtesy gesture only, our team mentioned that it might be possible to assist with transportation the next day depending entirely on operational availability and group logistics for that departure. Unfortunately, availability could not ultimately be confirmed, and we communicated this accordingly. This alternative arrangement was never guaranteed nor included within the purchased service. Regarding communication, our operations team remained in contact throughout the experience and all scheduled pickups and tour services were carried out successfully according to coordination. We also wish to state respectfully that our staff should never be subjected to insults or offensive language during operational communication. We always aim to assist travelers professionally and kindly, even during stressful situations, and we ask for the same mutual respect toward our guides and customer service team. As for the experience itself, we understand that travel preferences are subjective and personal. The activities mentioned in the itinerary are exactly those advertised within the tour description and are experiences that many travelers genuinely enjoy, as reflected in the many positive reviews shared by travelers from around the world. Even so, we genuinely regret that the experience did not meet your personal expectations and we sincerely wish you and your family the best during the rest of your travels in Peru.

Felt like 7+ experiences rolled into one very organized day

Simone_R, May 2026

I think this was the best day trip I have ever experienced. It actually felt like there were 7 experiences rolled into one (Ballestas islands, Peruvian lunch, Pisco vineyard tour and tasting, seeing Huacachina oasis in person, the dune buggying, sand boarding, and then the bonfire). The tour group was extremely organized. Even though the day was long, there were periods of rest on the bus. The bus ride itself was surprisingly comfortable as the seats recline. I recommend bringing a neck pillow and eye mask to help with resting on the bus. Our guide, Momo, spoke both English and Spanish well and was very helpful. I am super impressed by the Peruvian hospitality. 10/10 recommend this tour!

Response from Host, May 2026

Wow — reading this truly means a lot to us 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. It makes us incredibly happy to know the experience felt like “multiple adventures in one day” because that is exactly what we try to create for our travelers ✨ From the wildlife at to the vineyard experience, the dunes of, the adrenaline of the buggy ride, and finally ending the day around the bonfire under the desert sky — we always hope guests leave Peru feeling they truly lived something special, not just “did a tour.” We’re also very happy to hear you felt comfortable and well organized throughout such a long day. Our team works hard behind the scenes to make the experience flow smoothly while still allowing moments to relax and enjoy the journey 😊 And thank you as well for your kind words about Momo 🙌 We’ll make sure he sees this review. He genuinely cares about making travelers feel welcomed, informed, and connected during the experience. Your recommendation and appreciation for Peruvian hospitality honestly mean the world to us 🇵🇪✨ We hope Peru brings you back again someday!

Awesome tour

Aniket_M, May 2026

Awesome tour. Maurice took great care of us and kept the whole day fun and organized. It was a long day but van was comfortable enough to sleep. Desert excursion was really amazing, and Maurice made it super special with the sunset layout. Giovanni and Jaime were awesome drivers. Highlight of Peru trip!!! Thanks so much!!!

Response from Host, May 2026

The best tour

Michael_M, Mar 2026

Rose was the one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had! She was super awesome the day was incredible everything went smoothly and I can’t thank her enough high recommend! It was literally life changing

Exceptional

Berlin_B, Mar 2026

This was truly a great experience worth every dollar. Seeing the sea lions was a nice touch. What really made this trip the experience was writing the doom buggies, and the desert and boarding down the hill. To top it off we ended the trip with the beautiful sunset in the middle of the desert

Great one day tour from Lima

Epic Tour With an Epic Guide

Diana_K, Feb 2026

Great experience and adventure! Last activity requires a bit of stamina since you will be walking uphill in sand for approximately 5min. Read the providers information they send . They have very helpful suggestions. Overall, strongly recommend. Ask for Rose.

Fun fun

Roy_G, Feb 2026

It’s a lot of fun an excitement great to get the stress off I strongly recommend it an I’m going to do it again family had so much fun an laughter

The tour was fine. We...

Julio_S, Feb 2026

The tour was fine. We really enjoyed the boat ride around the Natural Reserve at the Ballestas Islands and we especially liked Huacachina (the oasis). It was so much fun to do the belly surfing on the dunes and the buggy ride was a hoot! Our guide, JD, was great, very informative and always taking care of all our needs. The only downfall was that, on the way back, our bus broke down in the middle of the Panamericana Highway, and we were stuck there for an hour and a half. By the time we got back in Lima was 2 am. It was a very long day. Other than that, the excursion and the guide were lovely.

I loved this tour so...

Melanie_D, Jan 2026

I loved this tour so much! It was well organized and the activities were even more fun than I thought. Really worth it.

It might feel long but 100% worthy day trip

Juan_C, Jan 2026

Its a full day experience, indeed! Kicking off super early and finishing almost at midnight but it's understandable given the distances and the huge amount of activities planned (and greatly executed, as well). Just one thing we'd recommend for future tours is the bus with a better AC system as it felt extremely cold back on the bus.

Amazing experiences

Heena_A, Dec 2025

Amazing experience on the cruise -saw whales, penguins, sea-lions, variety of birds, and sand dunes with buggy riding, sand boarding, sunset view. Well organized stops for lunch and bio breaks at clean facilities. Great value for price but be aware that it is a very long day of 19 hours with 10 of those in the transportation van.

Amazing!

Christine_C, Dec 2025

We had a great trip to Paracas, pisco tasting, and to Huacachina oasis. It was a long day because of the distance, but the bus was comfortable and our driver was great. Paracas was busy because it was a holiday. That made it crowded but our guide Rose navigated us through very smoothly. The Pisco tasting was amazing and The lunch was delicious. The Oasis was BEAUTIFUL! Sunset over the desert was a memory we will have for our lifetime. We did not do the belly boards because my husband has an injury but everyone looked like it was fun. We just rode in the dune buggy the whole time. Which was SOOOOOOO FUN! The only thing I would do differently is bring my own bandana. We bought them there and they were stretchy so sand would go through the weave. I wish I had own cotton bandanas to block the sand. Our guide Rose was such a delight! She was fun and spunky. She made sure everyone was having a good time. The majority of our tour was Spanish speaking but she still made sure to include us in everything. Rose made the trip top notch. The communication was good throughout the booking process and pickup/drop off was smooth. We would definitely use this company again ESPECIALLY if we could always be with Rose! This adventure was the last one of our Peruvian trip and it lived up to everything we could want. Thanks to the team at Peru Bucket list and special thanks to Rose! Highly recommend this company for this excursion.

Don’t miss it

Lei_G, Dec 2025

Absolutely worth it. I wish we spent more on the Paracas islands. Buggy ride and sand boardings are a blast. Good price. If you are in Lima don’t miss this

JD was such an amazing...

Maria_D, Nov 2025

JD was such an amazing tour guide! He was knowledgeable, patient and took us on an awesome day adventure. Highly recommend!

Fun filled day full of exciting activities.

Manjit_S, Nov 2025

It was a great exhilarating experience. The entire day was full of fun filled exciting activities that included boat trip to watch penguins and other birds. One thing I found was that the islands export road salt to countries such as Canada and the US. The sand boarding at the Oasis was once in a life-time experience. The trip from Lima was also an experience to gain that normally is missing if you are only involved with activities in the city itself. Overall, the trip was fantastic and I would recommend to others.

Great trip

Pieter_M, Oct 2025

Had a very fun day was great value for money to see a lot in a short time span. Most stunning was seeing sunset in the dessert. Thanks Rose for her help getting it all organized in a nice way :))

What an adventure!

Walter_S, Oct 2025

The experience was amazing and so was our tour guide Juan Diego! They picked us up on time and took us to every stop timely. During the trip Juan took the time to explain everything about the tour and also interesting facts about everything town and department that we passed by and the Peruvian in general The only reason I don’t give a full five star is because our van did not have AC which made it unbearable and difficult to relax inside the van.

My spouse children and I...

Erin_A, Oct 2025

My spouse children and I traveled to Peru from Colorado for fall break. This was on our list and did not dissappoint. JD was fantastic as our guide. He was so patient, so knowledgeable and was so passionate about sharing his knowledge of his country. I have a 12 and 15 year old and even they were laughing out loud with excitement at the sand dunes. It was magical. No one in our dune buggy spoke the same language but the language of laughter is translatable to all. It was phenominal

1 nice tour to remember

miklos_p, Oct 2025

great tour enjoyable The boat tour is nice, but you will be wet and work hard to keep the plastic cover over your head Sand dunes are nice, fast driving, keep your back safe !!

Epic Paracas and Huacachina Tour

Shaira_P, Sep 2025

Although it was a long-day-tour, it was well-planned and organized. We were very comfortable in the bus. We love the ala carte meals vs the buffet meals that most tour companies offer. We didn’t expect much of Paracas but we got excited seeing the penguins & sea lions in their natural habitat. The pisco tasting and quick visit to the vineyards was lovely. Huacachina was everything we hoped for and maybe more. Shoutout to our guide Juan Diego for being the best!

Fun times!

Michelle_H, Sep 2025

This was such a great day trip and the perfect choice for restless teens or young adults. My boys had an absolute blast - and honestly, so did I. What stood out right away was how well everything was communicated. From meeting points to meal options and bathroom breaks, all the little details were covered. I never had to guess or wonder what was happening next, which made the day feel easy and stress-free. The guides and drivers were excellent. In Paracas, our boat guide was knowledgeable, passionate, and spoke flawless English. The boat driver amazed us with how close he could maneuver to the rocks so that everyone got a good look at the sea lions. In Ica, the pisco tasting was lively and fun, with toasts all around and drinks poured as heavy or as light as you wanted. And the dune buggy ride in Huacachina was exactly what my boys were hoping for - fast, exciting, with plenty of photo stops and a gorgeous sunset. At the same time, the driver made sure we were strapped in and safe, and that everyone sandboarded correctly. All in all, yes it was a long day but it was also an excellent one. Highly recommend!
