Highlights
  • Huacachina - Our excursion begins at the Hotel “La Casa del Bamboo,” situated near the Huacachina Oasis. Our buggy driver will escort passengers to a tourist control booth, where a tourist tax of S/3.60 soles per person must be paid. We will then ascend a small sand dune to board the buggies and commence the tour.

Our professional driver will navigate the desert, making various stops for clients to appreciate the scenery and take photos.

Next, we will drive to the top of a large dune where our instructor guide will demonstrate how to sandboard.

At the top, you can enjoy sandboarding and take numerous photos.

Finally, we will return to the Huacachina lagoon, where passengers will head back to the starting point (Hotel El Bamboo) to conclude the service. At our office, we can also arrange taxi services for tourists.

Highly recommended - The excursion is amazing. They took us in a buggy through the dunes, we did sandboarding and then they took us to see a spectacular sunset. Both Sam and our driver were super friendly and made us feel super comfortable. It's very worth it, we had a great time.

Hold on to your seats! - I cannot find the words to match the amount of fun and excitement I had on this tour!!!! ICA is beautiful in itself. It is bustling with small cars (I forgot the name, I think they call it moto-taxis), all colourful, serving as a backdrop for the desert city. My friend and I initially booked a day tour but thankfully our winery tour guide, Sam, convinced us that the sunset tour would be a much better feat. We opted for it and he could not have been more right. Now guys! Hold on to your seats because this is a wild one LOL!! We got onto our dune buggy, after meeting up at the office, strapped into our seats (get one by the door) and had a ride of our lives!!!!! Our driver and guide took us up and down the sand dunes in a thrilling rush. Our stomach dropped, our hearts pounded, we laughed, we screamed, we had fun LOL! At different intervals the driver stopped at picturesque locations for us to do our personal mini photo shoots. We even sand boarded down a few dunes. It looked intimidating at first and the rush of adrenaline will give rise to fears but our guide gave us a short lesson on how to position ourselves so that we can enjoy the ride and keep safe. The ride ended with a sunset view that somehow gave calm to the thrill and excitement that we previously had. It felt like a reward at the end of a busy trip/day. This tour was definitely one for the books and if I had to visit ICA again, I would definitely find myself here.

Fun activity, long drive from Lima for day trip - We did this activity as part of the day trip from Lima, the drive is really long, like 4 hours. The activity itself is really fun. Dune Buggy and sand ski are so fun that the 1 hour time easily passing by. Also the view of the sand dune and the pond is stunning. There are many local people selling the buggy tour in that area, You can just walk in and get this activity schedule without advance booking.

Great fun day with buggy - The entire trip was great! There was a pickup arranged for us to get us from Ica to Huacachina. Then we continued to buggys. Our driver was so much fun, he definitely tried for us to have the most of experience. We started with small sand slides and continued to the big ones. It was a lot of fun. The trip ended with a sunset in the desert. Stunning! Definitely hugely recommend!
