Why do we recommend the Uros and Taquile tour by speedboat? The main reason is that we shorten the navigation time on the lake, having more time to enjoy the visits in Uros and Taquile, in addition to having calmer walks and being more comfortable because the boat is also more spacious and comfortable. The places that are visited are the same as those of the Tour of Uros and Taquile normal boat: 2 islands in the Uros (of the more than 90 islands that make up these floating islands) Taquile Island, where we will visit its main square to have lunch and appreciate its customs, beautiful views of the lake and its textiles. As we mentioned before, the difference is basically the navigation time that each boat makes, as we show below.

Great day!
Beautiful island with a bit bigger of a group than expected but still plenty of opportunity to take photos. Good service from the staff and delicious food.

Touristy but interesting
Very touristy and felt staged, nevertheless interesting to see
Response from the operator: Dear Christine, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate your comments and understand your point of view regarding the tour. During the high season, Lake Titicaca receives a large number of visitors, and as you may have noticed, many of the main attractions can become quite busy. Regarding the Uros Floating Islands, there are more than 100 floating islands, each inhabited by different local families. We do not visit the same island every day; instead, visits are rotated among different families and islands. This system helps distribute the benefits of tourism more fairly among the local community and gives different families the opportunity to welcome visitors and share their traditions and way of life. We are glad to know that, despite your observations, you still found the experience interesting. Your feedback is very valuable to us and helps us continue improving our services. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide you with an even better experience in Puno and Lake Titicaca. Kind regards, Ronald Ticona

Full Day Tour Uros and Taquile Islands (Speed Boat): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does Full Day Tour Uros and Taquile Islands (Speed Boat) cost?
+
Prices start at $46 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 Uros and Taquile Islands (Speed Boat) take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Uros and Taquile Islands (Speed Boat) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 33 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 Uros and Taquile Islands (Speed Boat)?
+
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 Uros and Taquile Islands (Speed Boat) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour Uros and Taquile Islands (Speed Boat)?
+
Around 12 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Tour Uros and Taquile Islands (Speed Boat) 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 Uros and Taquile Islands (Speed Boat)?

+
