Great balance between calm and adrenaline rush. Highly recommended

It was very nice experience. Communication was amazing before going on trip which is perfect bonus. The end of the tour made the whole experience even better and waking up at 4 am worth it.

Peru outside of Lima in one day when Cusco isn’t an option

Published on Feb, 2025

I will start off by saying that this tour is a feat and the company must lose money on the time it takes to do everything in the 17 hours you have to do it in. I came to Lima a couple days before a wedding and didn’t have enough time to make it to Cusco so I searched around for good alternatives and this tour is definitely that. First we drove a couple hours to get to Paracas where you get to take a boat ride and see the local wildlife (penguins!, turkey vultures, sea lions, boobies, etc.) then you head off toward Ica to an Eco winery where they grow Pisco and show you the process and tastings after a tasty lunch. Then you head to the sand dunes to check out the oasis of Huacachina and take an exciting ride around the dunes and if you’re brave enough, slide down the sand dunes on a snow board (do it, so fun). Be sure to wear items you wouldn’t mind getting sandy, LOL. The locals definitely push purchasing sun glasses and neck gaters for S/10 in Huacachina to help keep the sand out of your mouth. It was a lot to do in one day and A LOT of driving in between but I am so glad I did it. We had a group of 12 people in our tour, people from Colombia, Mexico, Canada, Jamaica and the USA ranging in ages from 25-65 and everyone had a great time and was very friendly. There is a lot of driving between the points of interest so bring water, sunblock, a hat, sunglasses, some snacks and your airplane pillow. There are opportunities to buy these items in each of the stops and have a hot meal.

Great trip!

It was so much fun and the group we had was fun as well. Everything from start to finish was an amazing experience. Our guide was so kind and accommodating.

Great opportunity for fun

Published on Nov, 2024

Tour was amazing! We visited so many stops Pacific Ocean island, winery with tasting, desert with oasis and best part is crazy bugging and sandboardibg. Guid was really nice and repeated all info on English, he was very nice, trying to build team from strangers, helped with everything, was an example in all activities

Fun in Paracas, Ica and Huacachina

Published on Oct, 2024

Lots of things packed into one day. Pick up starts at 4am and drop off was about 10:30pm. Jord was an excellent guide and kept us informed about everything that was happening and going to happen. The dune buggy ride was fun
