Huacachina Sandboarding Tour: Buggy Ride and Sunset
From €15 per person
See availability →This Huacachina sandboarding tour takes you by buggy deep into the Ica dunes, lets you slide down the sand several times and closes with a sunset over the desert.
A Huacachina sandboarding tour starts at the oasis: you climb into a buggy and head out into the Ica desert, rising and dropping over the dunes until you reach the slope where the boards come out.
A short explanation covers the basics, then you step onto the board and glide down the sand. You are not limited to a single run, so the first cautious descent can turn into a few bolder ones.
- A buggy ride up and down the Huacachina dunes
- Sandboarding on a slope in the Ica desert, with a board provided
- A stop on the way back to watch the sun go down over the orange sand
The light is the reward at the end. The buggy halts out in the desert and the colours of the sunset settle over the dunes before you head back. The whole outing lasts around two hours, from the meeting point at the oasis to the same place again, with a live guide who speaks English or Spanish.
It is a compact, active option if you want some fun on the sand without giving up a whole day. The tourist tax for entering the desert is not included.
