What you'll see and do
Uros Floating Islands
Ready for something unique? Head out to the Floating Islands, where the ground beneath you is made entirely of tightly woven totora reeds. It feels like walking on a soft, springy surface—definitely a one-of-a-kind experience! On your first stop, you’ll get a firsthand look at how the islands are built. The locals will explain the traditional techniques they use, and you’ll get to see how they’ve made this way of life work for centuries. You’ll even be invited into their homes to see what daily life is like on the islands. And if you're up for it, you can dress like the locals (optional and fun experience). The Uros people are friendly, so feel free to take photos or videos to remember the moment. They love sharing their story and culture with visitors. Want to see the lake from a new angle? Hop on a traditional totora reed boat, known as the "Balsas de totora." It’s a cool way to glide across the water and really get a sense of the floating islands (optional, 20 soles p/p)

A brilliant day in Puno
We recently visited Puno and spent the day visiting Uros and Taquile islands followed by a visit to Sillustani. This is a beautiful part of Peru and these Islands are so lovelyl and interesting. However, what made our day without a doubt was our guide Samuel. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel, we knew we were very lucky to have him as our guide. He gently guided us around the islands ensuring that we got the best views and saw everything. It was obvious that he had a great rapport with the island inhabitants who all seemed to know him personally. After our islands trip he drove us to Sillustani in time for sunset which was a beautiful experience. Throughout our day with Samuel, we felt completely at ease and we learned so much from him about the history and culture of the area. Thank you Samuel and thank you Inca Lake tours. In my opinion this is the company to go with in Puno and Samuel is the guide to ask for.

Wonderful day trip from Puno
Had a great time on this tour as a solo female traveler in my 50’s. It was slowed paced so I had enough time to listen to guide & explore or shop on my own before going to next stop. Samual was my English guide & spoke excellent English & Spanish, plus he is well educated on the history of his country :-)

An exceptional tour with Samuel even for seasoned travelers
What an exceptional tour! Don’t miss Titicaca adventures tour w/Samuel Yanarico Luli (an exceptional guide). Samuel remained generous and joyful even after the thousandth photo or question He shared a great deal of information about the island’s history and brought Sillustani to life with legends well as archeological facts. Sillustani is beyond magical and it was made more so by a thunder and lightening storm which added to its mystical quality. The islands themselves are truly unique and quite beautiful. The hike on Taquile while challenging is nothing short of stunning. Not only was lunch delicious but the view was stunning. Overall it was a tour we will NEVER forget

Good but WAY too expensive
Good guide and good tour in general. However i feel that the price is WAY too high for what they actually offer.

Wonderful trip on lake titicaca
Enjoyable interesting day, ably led by our guide Samuel. He was very informative in his talks. It was very interesting to discover how the floating islands were made and the significance of the hats worn by the men on the island. A lovely lunch of trout was served in a family run restaurant. We were collected and dropped off at our hotel.

Full-Day Tour of Uros, Taquile and Sillustani from Puno: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does Full-Day Tour of Uros, Taquile and Sillustani from Puno cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puno 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 Tour of Uros, Taquile and Sillustani from Puno take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Puno is not rushed.
Is Full-Day Tour of Uros, Taquile and Sillustani from Puno worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 43 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Tour of Uros, Taquile and Sillustani from Puno?
+
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 Tour of Uros, Taquile and Sillustani from Puno suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Tour of Uros, Taquile and Sillustani from Puno?
+
Around 15 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 Puno 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 Puno and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Tour of Uros, Taquile and Sillustani from Puno 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 Puno 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 Puno?
+
On Outty we rank every Puno experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat, Uros and Taquile Speedboat Day Tour in Small Group, Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat. 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 Puno?
+
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 Puno?
+
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.
