Excellent service!! Very easy to find and friendly workers. The buggy was very nice and clean. We were provided cool googles for the sand. Our guide was a great driver and took photos and videos for us. I highly recommended this company!!

Jon was amazing! Such a friendly and experienced driver. The sand boarding was fun - definitely no need to be afraid. Exploring the dunes was the best. Highly recommend. Thanks Jon!!

Start to finish - great! We were picked up in the Peru Your Trip garage & went from there so we didn’t have to do any extra walking. Felt super safe the entire time & it was incredibly fun. The sandboarding was incredibly fun too! I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone. The car is really great!

Eddie gave us an extreme tour. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. We went as fast as we could through the desert and enjoyed the sand boarding as well

Response from Host, Aug 2025

You have to do this tour!!!!!!!!!!!!

aileen_p, Jun 2025
This tour was amazing! I decided to book this tour because I really wanted to try and sand board and ride in the dunes but there is a small detail! I am afraid of everything! I let our driver John know of my fears and he was so understanding. He was super careful, yet I got the confident to want to go fast with him because he was such a good driver and we felt so comfortable with him! He also too me to a tiny slope so that I can try the sandboard and let go of my fear. This tour was incredible. It was super safe, and we will recommend it to everyone. specially John our driver! super fun and worth it.

Desert fun the way you want it!

Houston_B, May 2025
We opted for this private ATV and sandboarding excursion since we’re a bit older and didn’t want the full adrenaline experience that most others want, and our driver respected my request. It was still super fun and thrilling, but more suited to what we wanted. I’d recommend this to anyone who wanted a more personal experience regardless of how crazy you’d like it to be. He was also a great photographer!

Beste Entscheidung

alina_p, Oct 2024
Die private Sandboarding-Tour in Huacachina war absolut fantastisch! Unser Guide war super freundlich und hat die Tour zu einem echten Highlight gemacht. Eine private Tour zu buchen, hat sich definitiv gelohnt – wir hatten ein schnelleres Auto, viel mehr Spaß und konnten die großen Touristengruppen komplett umgehen. Da wir am Vormittag unterwegs waren, war die Wüste fast menschenleer, was das Erlebnis noch besonderer gemacht hat. Insgesamt eine großartige Entscheidung, die ich jedem empfehlen würde, der das Beste aus Sandboarding und Buggyfahren in Huacachina herausholen möchte!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you very much for your comment! We hope to see you soon. Greetings.
