Long ride and short excursions time

The drive time is more than the activity itself. We spent 8 hrs in total on the road. Just remember when booking. Left hotel at 6am and back at 8:30pm. The first activity was the boat ride to Ballestas island. Nothing extraordinary. The second activity was more fun at Huacachina oasis w the 4 wheeling and surf boarding on the sand. I would choose just the oasis if I were to do it again. Just my opinion.

amazing activity well worth the money
