      DO THIS TOUR
      We did this tour on our third day in Peru and we are pretty positive it will be the highlight of our entire trip. It was absolutely incredible. The dune buggy and sandboarding was so much fun, and the sunset was spectacular. All the staff were so friendly and nice. The campsite felt like something dreams are made of. Away from everything, very quiet and peaceful. Dinner was delicious. They picked us up from the bus station and dropped us off at a restaurant for lunch before the tour. Their office is a beautiful outdoor space to hangout in before the tour and the showers and breakfast in the morning were lovely. You will be so happy to have gone on this tour.

      Company threated me because I've booked the activity on Viator instead of their website.
      I've found the activity by looking at Viator, I've then contacted the company directly to organize a custom-made trip. I've decided to only book the original experience on Viator instead of the company directly because it offered free cancellation at the same price. The company sent me an email and I quote: """ Hello : You do not dare to do the service mentioned """ We immediately canceled the booking, this shows extreme unprofessionalism. If this is how they reply to people on emails, I do not want to know how they act in person. Stay away from this company.

      Amazing tour!
      We had an amazing weekend trip with Huacachina Tours. We were a group of twelve and everything was taken care of for us. The night in the desert is something we will never forget, such a great experience and 100% recommend!

      Amazing tour, definitely worth it!
      We had the combination of dune buggy and dinner in the desert. William our driver & guide was awesome, and took us on some very fun dune buggying, then sand boarding, and lastly donut riding in the desert. In between, we took lots of amazing pictures in the desert. He knew all the good stops! When it started getting dark, we drove to our dinner spot. Note, if you're going during Peru's dry/winter season, it's going to be pretty cold at night so dress warm. Or you can sit by the fire the whole time like we did. All in all, super awesome, go do it!

      They're specialist in the Huacachina Tours and it was amazing experience, but that's about that, don't do other tours with them because they subcontract another local tours agencies and they say it's theirs but is not, they promised a 4x4 and by someone malfunction reason the night before, in the morning we had a compact car for 4 that makes the experience way much difference, it's a 4h30 hours car ride so we paid more for confort that didn't received. When contacted the agency they just informed that there's nothing they could do (because it would be more expensive for them), they were rude and they just wanted to cancel everything and make us lose a day of our vacations on that! I definitely recommend you the tour with Antonio to the Huacachina desert, the other tours be careful. They're not professional and transparent, at all.

One of tour had to get cancel due to Tsunami but they were very accommodating. Everyone was very nice to me & my family. I would definitely recommend their services.

      We had an amazing time in Huacachina. Our kids enjoyed the sandboarding and visiting the desert in the buggy. Our driver and guide William was super professional and we felt totally safe with him at all times. You can see he knows his way around the dunes and he got us the best spots for sandboarding and to watch the sunset.

      Thrilling, Adventurous, and Relaxing
      Our experience with Huacachina Tours was incredible start to finish. Riding the buggy though the sand dunes was thrilling and unforgettable, and the sand boarding/tube riding was beyond fun. After watching a beautiful sunset and views of the oasis we surprised our dad with a dinner in the desert. They set up a massive tent, campfire, and cooked an amazing meal for us. Overall, I highly recommend this experience, it’s one you won’t forget.

      Unbelievable Experience!
      I worked with Huacachina Tours to set up the perfect bachelor/bachelorette experience for my best friend, her future husband, and 20 of our closest friends. From start to finish the experience was incredible! We booked the Ica pisco and wine tasting, followed by the dune buggy and sandboarding experience, as well as private glamping for the night. They set up a lunch spot, prepared dinner at our campsite, and took us to breakfast and the food at all 3 locations was great! We were very pleased with everything. Everyone from the Huacachina Tours team was so kind, helpful, and really went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. We had an amazing time and we're all blown away with how much fun we had and how well everything was set up. I highly recommend this company!

      Worth it for the experience!
      We booked the full tour with pick up from Ica to Huacachina with sand dune buggy and sand boarding, as well as dinner in the desert. It was totally worth it! It was well timed and really enjoyed the experience. My only recommendation to the company is to NOT allow children on the "dinner in the desert" portion because the atmosphere set up is romantic and it was full of couples except for one family with screaming toddlers. This took away from the experience a bit being in the middle of the desert with wine, bossa nova music, night sky, etc. Other than that, if you don't have children on the nighttime part of your tour I think it is worth it and highly recommended!

      Paying too much for nothing
      We booked a the full day Huacachina tour through email correspondences and paid the costly sum of 85 USD per person. What we got out of this was absolutely terrible: 1) a bus ride Lima-Ica and back, which according to our tickets only cost 43 USD per person 2) a boring, low-quality lunch, which according to the menu was 10-15 USD per person 3) 20 minutes of guiding based on what we already read on a sign ... We had to wait one hour for our guide and subsequently we had three hours after lunch with nothing planned beforehand. We ended up buying the buggy tour recommended for 20 USD extra, even though it clearly could be done for less. All in all this was a big rip-off. We paid around 35-40 USD per person for them to read us a sign and buying bus tickets. We can only recommend people to get their hotels to book their bus tickets and buy the buggy tour when they arrive.

      Amazing Day of Sandboarding
      Huacachina Tours did a wonderful job of taking us to the sand dunes from Ica and arranging an experienced and trustworthy dune buggy driver. Our driver not only drove us thrillingly over the dunes, he also pleased everyone from our teenage children to mom who was a little nervous. They provided sand boards, wax and plenty of steep hills to careen down. It was amazing and completely worth the trip.

    We chose this unique experience for our wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. First we drove through the desert in a buggy. The many ups and downs over steep and sloping dunes gave us a rollercoaster feeling and were a lot of fun. We felt safe at all times. We had a total of three stops, one for sand tubing, where you are pulled behind the buggy while sitting in tires. It's really fun to drift through the curves. But you should definitely wear a mouth and nose mask. ;-)
    The second stop was on a dune, from which you could watch the sunset very nicely and gain your first sandboarding experience, before going on two really steep descents on the sandboard, which also caused adrenaline rushes, but were really great.
    When it was already dark, we reached the camp. Everything was beautifully prepared and a fire was burning in the middle. We were given a few antipasti first and slowly got used to it before we were served the main course on the table grill. It was very tasty and the wine that went with it was excellent too.
    But when we were about to get up, we were unexpectedly given a cake with congratulations. A really nice and successful surprise!
    We spent the rest of the evening talking to the other guests and then we lay down a little way off in the dunes and enjoyed the starry sky. Very romantic! :-)
    The beds in the tent were very comfortable and the next morning we drove back to the starting point, where we were served a delicious breakfast and were able to wash off all the sand we had collected.
    It was really a very special, wonderful event for us and we would highly recommend it to everyone!

    What an incredible experience! We wanted to do something more unique than the standard Huacachina tours and this delivered! Our tour started out with an exhilarating ride into the dunes, where we went sand tubing (SO fun) and sand boarding. Followed by an incredible sunset!

    We were then taken to the camp, which is beautiful, remote, and had such fun vibes and atmosphere, with great music and lots of magical lights. Plus the CUTEST dog (we love you Duna!) that brought us so much joy. We had charcuterie by the campfire, an amazing dinner, and some marshmallows to cook over the fire. It was perfect! We then enjoyed a quiet night in our tent, which had a super comfortable bed and pillows and during our visit in October, was the perfect temperature. The bathrooms are located a bit of a walk from the tents in a little trailer, similar to a porta-potty, and were very nice and clean.

    In the morning, we enjoyed a beautiful sunrise and were then taken back to Huacachina Tour's property (which is SO nice) for showers and breakfast (eggs, bread, juice, and coffee). Everyone we interacted with was so helpful and kind and we couldn't recommend this experience more!

    Have never written a review before but this was one of the highlights of our trip to Peru! They booked the bus tickets for us to/from Lima. We got in early in the day and our driver from the bus station (also arranged by company) took us to the lagoon since walking around the town is not included in the actual tour, and back to the HQ later so we could meet up with the group and start the actual tour. On the tour we were able to dune buggy, sand board, sand tube, watch the sunset, and then we’re driven to the camp site which was set up very nicely. We started with a meat/cheese/fruit board and a bottle of wine from the region, and then went to another area for a good dinner of grilled veggies, chicken/fish. Then we sat under the stars and finished the wine, and jokingly asked if there was dessert - next thing we know the drivers who had taken families back to the town that were not spending the night brought us back chocolate!!! Lots of blankets, real mattresses to sleep on, and porta potty’s also provided which also made the experience great.

    Greatest experience with Huacachina Tours! It is been one of the favorite parts of our Peru trip. The staff is excellent, very communicative and attentive. We booked the Pisco Sour tour in the morning and then glamping at night. They took photos, explained the history of Huacachina, we did sandbording tubing, so much adrenaline, it was all amazing!. The glamping experience was incredible as well, the food was so fresh and tasty, the beds very comfortable. In the morning, they picked us as planned, we took showers and had breakfast. Definitely recommend Huacachina Tours for your Ica experience!

    What an incredible experience. We are so glad that we decided to do this. From the moment we were picked up at the bus until the moment we were dropped off at the terminal we were well taken care of. The sand boarding, tubing and crazy dune buggying were fantastic. It was so special to see the sunset. The glamping was phenomenal. We were not expecting our dinner to be so good. Beds were comfy and it was relaxing to sit around the campfire with our wine as the moon rose. The next day the showers and breakfast were very nice. My only advice: bring a buff to cover your nose and mouth if you decide to do the tubing.

    The best decision we could have made!! We took the glamping tour in the desert and it was an unforgettable experience. Everyone extremely attentive and helpful. The activities are extremely fun and the views take your breath away! The meals offered on the tour are super delicious and abundant.

    The camp and the tents are beautifully decorated and every detail is taken care of. Everything is super clean.

    Definitely, if you want to live a different experience and with the best service in Haucachina... Huacachina tours is the place!

    The experience is amazing, and the pictures and description match what you get, except…
    On Saturday nights there is a disco party from 1 to 6.20 a.m. somewhere close enough that doesn’t let you sleep. Some may find it less of a bother, others (like me) treasure the silence expected in a night at the desert.
    I would have liked to have that info before booking such a steep price. Now you have it too

    Good morning, the Glamping experience we offer its 7 Kilometers away from Huacachina, pretty far away considering that most of the dune buggy cars only drive around 3-4 kilometers around the lagoon. The noise of parties that you hear is from many night clubs around Huacachina (7 kilometers away from our camping), that do not respect a limit on the volume they use. This noise is more on weekends as you mention and its hear in the camping on a low or high noise depending on the direction of the wind too. we are sorry that when you were camping it was too loud, we also agree that this experience is to connect with nature that is why we try to do our camping as far away as possible from Huacachina, but the problems with the loud of night clubs around there is very big. we will share your comments with other clients so they know about it too.
