    Overall we LOVED this experience. We got lots of skiing/boarding time, followed by a great sunset moment, and dune buggy riding the whole time. The overall experience was far more unique than the generic tours, and we’d highly recommend this trip/company to anyone. Great highlight thus far!

    Sand skiing! Not just sandboarding!

    Natalie_F, Jul 2025
    This was the highlight of our two week trip to Peru! We chose this company because they specifically mentioned they do sand skiing in addition to sandboarding. They do ask that you have some snow skiing history, since it’s a bit harder than sand boarding. I’m no where near an expert at skiing and I was able to manage just fine. Our group of 7 had mixed skills but it was so fun to cheer each other on and watch the progress over the 6-7 runs that we did. Our guides were phenomenal at taking photos and videos of us as we went, we didn’t even have to ask. The tour ends with a beautiful sunset out on the dunes and an exhilarating dune buggy ride. Don’t forget to bring cash to tip your driver!

    Amazing afternoon

    Amazing! 5 ⭐️ plus!

    Wow! I still have sand in my teeth, but what an incredible experience for my family. Our guides were great and super friendly. We met at 3 pm and we were the last group skiing that we saw. We have a lot of runs also. They start on the bunny hills and then progressed from there. We do have experience snow skiing, which probably helped, but my 14 year old son loved it so much that he wants to go again! The dune buggy lift was super fun and thrilling. Thank you Sandboard and Sandski. We see why you are highly rated. Memories of a lifetime created. Thank you. Mucho mucho gracias.
