Huacachina Dune Buggy Tour with Sandboarding and Sunset
From €22 per person
See availability →This Huacachina dune buggy tour sends you over the sand in a 4x4, hands you a sandboard for a lesson with your driver, with an optional sunset over the desert to finish.
The only oasis in Peru sits in a bowl of sand, and a Huacachina dune buggy tour is the quickest way to get out into it. You are picked up in Ica or Huacachina, then the 4x4 climbs and drops over dunes of up to 30 metres, like a rollercoaster made of sand.
The buggy stops along the way so you can photograph the desert and the small lake ringed by palm trees. Then the same dunes become a slope for sandboarding: nobody needs experience, because your driver teaches the technique as you go.
- Dune buggy ride of about one hour
- Sandboarding lesson with a basic board
- Photos and videos of your day
- Optional sunset over the desert, with the driver helping you find a good spot for pictures
The tour is private and the itinerary can be adjusted, so it suits anyone who wants some speed. It lasts around two hours and runs in English or Spanish. Meals and tips are not included, and it is not recommended for pregnant women or anyone with back problems.
