We had such a great time on our tour! Dito & Juan made the experience very fun. Our group was about 10 people and we were able to get about 7 runs in on various size dunes. You can ski or board. The sunset at the end was amazing! The dune buggy ride is fun too, just be prepared to go fast. 10/10 recommend!

I had a hard time getting my skis to move through the sand, but my 19 yr old son had no problem and absolutely loved it. Zooming around the dunes in the buggy is super fun. Very professional outfit. Our guide was very nice and gave instruction to the first time sand boarders. Took multiple individual videos of everyone coming down. Ended the day with shots of Pisco on top of a dune watching the sunset.

One of the best tours I’ve been on, great guide that is a professional skier for Peru and is trying to make the Olympics. He carried my stuff when my ankle is injured. Thrilling ATV ride definitely a bit scary. Very friendly guide and great company

This was an incredible experience! Don’t forget to bring a buff to protect your face from the sand. The views and photos were amazing. It was my first time doing this, and Tony’s mentoring helped me stand and slide through the dunes. I tried sandboarding, but the sand skiing looked just as fun as sandboarding. The boogie is super fun!

This was a very fun adventure and the team was very helpful. With every new hill they took the time to make sure you were safe and ready to go. The groups stay small which makes the experience more special. The team even took the time to recommend restaurants in the area. If your considering booking do it, you won’t regret it.

We had an amazing time. Went down twice the first small dune to practice then headed to four others bigger ones and enjoyed the sunset. Our guide was awesome and very caring.

Had a super amazing time with Aldahir, who was a very good teacher. We got to do so many runs at different hills, and got to enjoy a beautiful sunset. 100% recommended!

This is a Peru must-do!!! The most surreal experience & incredible memories! Our instructor Aldahir was very thorough with his teaching and made me feel at ease going down the sand dunes sand boarding! Highlight of my trip!

Great tour. It’s hot during day and cold at night though. Come in Layers. Our guides were helpful and fun.

Instructors were great! Dito took his time to help. Buggy rides were a blast. (Make sure you buckle up quick cause they take off. ) Unique experience in a beautiful setting. Sunset was spectacular!
Max_S, May 2023
Very professional, really fun buggy ride then lots of runs. Would definitely recommend. Felt like we got to do a lot more than people going with other operators. Everyone on the team was super professional and fun.

First time sandskiing and doing dune buggy - was an awesome experience! Also I lost my phone when I fell while skiing, but Dito stuck around and helped me find it on the sand slopes (which was pretty amazing once you looked at how big the sand dunes were)!

The guides were super cool and thought us very well, they even took a bunch of pictures which made my GF happy 😃
Overall a good experience I can highly recommend it.

Great experience for those who truly want to learn how to sandboard and enjoy the scenery. Dito and his team were great, very accommodating and patient. This is not like the other tours where they give you a piece of wood and slide you down the dune, this is a true learning experience with great equipment. Recommend it for everyone regardless of experience levels.
Susan_A, Oct 2022
The crew were fabulous. The experience was awesome. It was well worth the experience. If your going to sand board do it with these guys. The ride up to the top of the dunes was a blast.
Miles_G, May 2022
Fantastic tour, if you want the full experience of actually sandboarding/skiing do this instead of the other tours. I did one in the past where they made you lie down, and this way way more fun
Jacob_L, Apr 2022
Very friendly and helpful staff! Gorgeous views, fun dune buggy rides and once in a lifetime boarding! Very happy with my trip

Dito did a great job ensuring we had the right equipment and took us to various dunes. Great tour for folks that love skiing or snowboarding.

Expérience incroyable sincèrement. Déjà très nostalgique, foncez! Très pro, super sympa et là pour que vous passiez un moment agréable, merci mille fois pour ce moment magique:)

Todo, el paseo en los boogies y luego las clases y práctica del sandboard…. Finalmente el sunset… espectacular
Jorge_R, Jan 2022
La página dice que arranca a las 15, nos fuimos de la playa antes para llegar en horario y cuando llegamos nos dicen que al final salen a las 16. Que se les paso avisarnos.
Los guías ni siquiera se presentaron, no nos contaron en qué consistía la experiencia antes de arrancar ni nos dieron consejos (ejemplo: llevar medias largas, etc.).
Si no sabes andar las instrucciones son muy pobres. Las antiparras estaban tan rayadas todas que casi no se ve.
La experiencia súper recomendable! Pero háganla con otra agencia!!
