We will pick you up from your chosen accommodation, or if you are staying in an Airbnb, you can meet us at a hotel close to your apartment or choose our central meeting point. Board your Peru Hop bus with onboard high-speed Wi-Fi and settle into luxury semi-bed seats for a comfortable journey to Paracas.
You will arrive in Paracas around 9:30 am, where you will have time to get some quick snacks before going to the port to board the boat for the tour to the Ballestas Islands.
Take a speedboat out to the Ballestas Islands to see penguins and sea lions in their natural habitat. – Paracas
You will depart from Paracas to a traditional Pisco vineyard, where you will learn how Peruvian pisco is produced and taste the different varieties made on-site. You will also have free time here to enjoy lunch (not included). After your visit, reboard your Peru Hop bus to Huacachina.
An exclusive 2 hour tour (most companies only offer 1 hour) where you can ride up the huge sand dunes on an amazing Dune Buggy, and then sandboard down! We recommend lying face down on the board as its easier and much more fun! This will be an incredible experience and a lot of people say that this is their favorite thing to do in Peru after Machu Picchu!
Once your dune buggy adventure is finished, you have time to grab some dinner before heading back to Lima. Settle in aboard your comfortable Peru Hop bus with onboard high-speed Wi-Fi, luxury semi-bed reclining seats, and an onboard restroom (we’re the only tour company with restrooms on board).

Diego was fantastic as a guide, but the organization of the pickup and drop off was awful, and I arrived at my hotel much later than I was told. Also food is not included, so the value drops from this as well.
$99. Bus, Boat, wine tasting and Dune Buggy with Sandboard as a bonus. It's worth every penny. We met my sister and some friends from Brazil. Is an expensive of a lifetime!!!
Very long day beginning at 5:30-5:40 am pick up time and we were one of the last few groups to join the bus. The experience was def one to remember and we had a lot of fun. The boat trip lasted for around 2 hours. bring a windbreaker or jacket, it gets windy and cold. the pisco tasting was short and decent, was very cheesy experience. the lunch was fine, you get options for entre and app. was mid but warm. Huacachina was the best part. bring small fanny pack to wear to store phones in during sand boarding. or clothing with zippers. wear close toed shoes. we skipped dinner because it was lowkey expensive for more mid ish food which u eat on the bus and brought snacks to last until a late night meal back at hoteldrop off. Our was courteous but lacked humour and just spoke when necessary
One of the best experiences in Peru! Peru Hop team was very organized and the guide Diego made the tour even better.
Amazing experience! The guide Diego made everything even better, everything very well explained and organized. One of the best experiences I had on Peru!
Very good experience. Diego was an awesome guide. made quite a few jokes. The drive is long but at least the seats are nice and recline back. the boat tour was nice but the best part was riding the dune buggies
It was amazing !!! Diego is the best Go without thinking, its georgous
It was amazing! I loved the adventure on sand board! And the bug was crazy sensation!
It was a great experience - Diego was just the best guide ever!! Pickup was easy and everything was just as great as expected !!
As a first time traveler, i had a great experience on this tour. The admission fee was reasonable for the amount of activities that we did. It was worth the day trip to Paracas, i loved every minute of it. I would rebook again. Book with Diego!
