Ballestas Islands and Huacachina Day Trip Ending at Sunset
From €67 per person
See availability →This Ballestas Islands and Huacachina sunset day trip from Lima runs from the Paracas boats to a pisco winery and the dunes, with the Premium option adding the full adventure.
This Ballestas Islands and Huacachina sunset day trip from Lima is built around the order of the day: sea first, pisco in the middle, dunes at dusk. It is a very long outing, about seventeen hours, with an official guide in Spanish and English, and the journey back reaches Lima late at night.
The group meets very early at the Ibis Larco Miraflores hotel, the only meeting point, as hotel and Airbnb pickup is not part of it. After the drive south there is a short stop in Paracas for breakfast, then the boat to the Ballestas Islands, with sea lions, Humboldt penguins and many birds. In Ica lunch is at the Cultur Pisco restaurant, followed by a visit to the winery with a pisco and wine tasting. The finish is at Huacachina, with free time by the lagoon, sandboarding, buggies and the sunset over the dunes.
- Premium: round-trip air-conditioned transport, boat tour, dune buggy, beginner sandboard and taxes
- Always included: the guide, the sunset in Huacachina and the tasting
The basic Essential option is the entry level, and the Premium and private versions add the extras listed above. Meals are not included, and the tour is not suitable for people with mobility impairments.
