    Top Experience with Adanny Tours

    Outstanding day tour, perfect for cruise passengers! We are a family of four on a cruise that docked in Pisco. Adanny Tours was very easy to book and communicate with. After booking and paying beforehand all we had to do was send a message with our name and arrival time, and Alvaro and Arturo were the very first people we saw when we stepped out, standing ready with a sign. It could not have been easier. At the chaotic harbour for the Ballestas Islands, Alvaro got us onto a boat effortlessly and made sure we had the best seats on board. At Huacachina everything was organised down to the last detail, both the dune buggy ride and the sandboarding. So much fun! They were with us the whole way, took photos for us and made sure everything went at our own pace. The day was carefully planned so we were back in good time for the last bus to the ship, with no stress at all. You just tell them what time you need to be back and they will be taking care of the schedule for you. Alvaro and Arturo are professional, competent and genuinely pleasant company. If you are visiting on a cruise, this duo will guarantee you a fantastic day. Highly recommended!

    It was a busy day but it was so organized. Not a second wasted. So much adventure was explored from the sea to the desert. It was perfect

    Amazing experience!

    This tour was incredible! The boat ride in Paracas was so soothing and peaceful. Watching the penguins, birds, and sea lions was also so beautiful. Going to the desert in Huacachina was also such a fun experience m. We were very dirty from the sand at the the end, but it was so worth it. The pisco tasting was cute but very brief. It did not really stand out very much. Overall, great experience though that I would definitely do again.

    Long drive but TOTALLY worth it!

    The tour was great! Alvaro and Felix were great guides that were also very attentive to us throughout the trip. The hotel pick up and drop off were easy. The trip to Huacachina wasn’t bad since we had a couple of stops along the way. Huacachina and activities were AMAZING! We had so much fun on the buggies and sandboarding with Jhonny. The trip back is a bit long, but worth the trip. I previously read a review that was helpful to me prior to the trip: Stop 1 - Breakfast (not incl.) Stop 2 - Paracas around 9am for boat ride around Ballestos Island (90 mins) + walking around Paracas until around 11am Stop 3 - Ica at El Huarango around 12:30pm for Piscos + wine (incl.) + lunch (not incl.; about $20 a person, 65/s) Stop 4 - Huacachina around 3pm + sand buggies + sandboarding Around 4:30pm, long ride back to Lima (about 5 hours) - one stop at gas station around 7:30pm for snacks/bathroom Drop-Off around 9:45pm-10pm Highly recommend booking this tour! We had a blast and can’t stop talking about it. I’d only recommend the company to keep the A/C on because we got a little warm for such a long trip. But once again, our guides were great!

    Full Day Paracas Ica and Huacachina from Lima All Included: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.

    How much does Full Day Paracas Ica and Huacachina from Lima All Included cost?

    +

    Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full Day Paracas Ica and Huacachina from Lima All Included take?

    +

    Plan for about 16 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lima is not rushed.

    Is Full Day Paracas Ica and Huacachina from Lima All Included worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 649 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Paracas Ica and Huacachina from Lima All Included?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full Day Paracas Ica and Huacachina from Lima All Included suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 16-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Paracas Ica and Huacachina from Lima All Included?

    +

    Around 227 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 16-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Paracas Ica and Huacachina from Lima All Included start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lima?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast, Discover Lima: Love Park, Historic Center, and its Catacombs., Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lima?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lima?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Full Day Paracas Ica and Huacachina from Lima All Included?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; All Fees and Taxes; Official Tourism Guide; Buggies (sand carts) and boards for Sandboarding; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Full Day Paracas Ica and Huacachina from Lima All Included include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 151 listed pickup locations in and around Lima. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    Is Full Day Paracas Ica and Huacachina from Lima All Included wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
