    Isla del Sol

    A wonderful 2-day tour of Isla del Sol, including transfer from Puno to Kasani and private boat to the island. Yoana organized everything perfectly and my guide Juan-Carlos was great. Strongly recommended!

    DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR!

    Total rip-off and very disappointing tour. The information said tourist bus - in fact the bus to Copacabana from Puno is one of the regular commercial buses that ply the route and your ticket will have had the actual price covered with a black marker pen. There is no guide until you get to Copacabana. S/he will take you to the church, then to an awful lunch (what was the soup?) and then to the ferry. The guide will walk with you for an hour or so on Sun Island but otherwise disappear. My guide was a friendly chap but his English was terrible and his tour included pointing out an electricity cable, water pipe and pig. It is 2.5 hours to Copacabana; at least 1 hour in immigration on the Peru an Bolivian side; 1.5 hours to Sun Island; 60-90 minutes on Sun island: repeat in reverse. I spent around US$140 on this tour and could have done it for US$40 if I had organised it myself. I don't mind paying extra if I get value for money e.g. a private tourist bus and a guide who is with me the whole journey who is well informed, interesting and fun. This fell far short of expectations and I advise anyone reading this to buy your own bus ticket to Copacabana, your own lunch and your own ferry ticket. You can read up about the one ruin you'll see on Sun Island online. Save yourself a fortune. Don't waste your time and money on this tour.

    Some problems on the border

    First of all I wanna be fair and say that I don’t believe that my experience is an every day occurrence. But we had really bad luck on that specific day. We got picked up from the hotel and sat in a bus to take us from Puno to Copacabana. So far, so good. But on the border to Bolivia the bus was stuck in traffic and the bus driver told us we should walk over the boarder and take a taxi from there cause he would have to wait for 3 hours! So we did walk and connected the company which told us to not take a taxi and wait for the bus, which would keep driving soon. Our guide didn’t pick us up and wasn’t with us, since we were supposed to meet him at the final bus station. We were very lost obviously and didn’t feel that the company cared very much that we missed already part of our day tour. We were very annoyed that they didn’t believe us. Other people got picked up by their guides from other companies immediately, which started to help us out by offering their phone since I didn’t have a reception with ours. One hour later the company finally told us to take a taxi (which they paid to be fair) but at that time we had missed half of the tour already, which never got refunded or apologized for. We would have been fine taking the taxi, if the company had in any way reacted earlier and believed us about the situation. From the moment we met our guide everything was fine though. So it’s nothing about the guides themselves or the tour. Although I find the transportation time forth and back pretty challenging for a day trip. But our guide afterwards was very determined to make up for the lost time and we had a great time at the isla de sol. So I give 3 stars for basically it’s a good tour but our specific expierience wasn’t the best that day.

    Very nice trip to Isla del Sol and Isla la Luna. Good price performance. Even just commanding the boat trip is an experience

    Full Day Tour to Sun Island in Copacabana from Puno: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Tour to Sun Island in Copacabana 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 to Sun Island in Copacabana from Puno take?

    +

    Plan for about 14 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 to Sun Island in Copacabana from Puno worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 9 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 to Sun Island in Copacabana 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 to Sun Island in Copacabana from Puno suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour to Sun Island in Copacabana from Puno?

    +

    Around 3 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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Tour to Sun Island in Copacabana 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.

    What is included in Full Day Tour to Sun Island in Copacabana from Puno?

    Is Full Day Tour to Sun Island in Copacabana from Puno wheelchair or stroller accessible?
