    A nice time

    It’s hard to put this into words. The colors of the sunset, the stillness of the salt, and then the stars above,it felt like standing inside a dream. Uyuni at night is something everyone should see once in their life.

    Genial

    My experience at Exploor Trip was absolutely amazing. The quality of service, knowledge and professionalism was incredible. The owner is very helpful, friendly, excellent in walks (he makes you take breaks, helps and advises you, brings oxygen tanks if necessary, which is huge), is excellent in English and speaks fluently and in a sophisticated way, attended us very well with gourmet lunches.healthy and nutritious, took beautiful tasteful photos with his professional camera, brought us friendly lamas for photos and experience. He also speaks the Inka language, which is very useful for dealing with locals. He found me the most beautiful and clean horses to ride and recommended better local experiences. It has great quality tents and can organize a night under the stars near the lake for you, which is an incredibly beautiful experience. The owner is honest and a top quality professional. He doesn’t say that, but he is the true founder and company director of Exploor Trip. They work at their best and the prices they charge are very reasonable.

    An incredible 1 Day tour of the Salar de Uyuni

    I had an excellent 1 Day tour with our guide, Norbert. After stopping off at the Uyuni train cemetery and a local market, we made our way out onto the Salar de Uyuni. We had plenty of time at each stop in the Salar de Uyuni to take lots of photos. We stopped at the Salt hotel where our group enjoyed a very nice lunch provided by Uyuni experience. It was a healthy, filling lunch with a good selection of potatoes , steak, chorizo, rice and a nice salad with carrots, cucumber, lettuce and sweet corn. Norbert then drove our group out to the middle of the salt flat where we could have the best view of the Sky and the reflection of the sky in the water on the salt surface. Norbert had brought a bicycle which all our group got to use and cycle along behind the jeep, which was very fun and cool. We also at this point, got to all sit up on top of the jeep and take in the fantastic views while Norbert drove along carefully and slowly. This was such great fun. Furthermore, our guide, Norbert (a legend) advised us all on the best photos and videos to take and he very kindly helped us take these, which all of our group greatly appreciated! Finally, we watched the sun set which was beautiful. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with simply incredible views at each point. Tip: bring some warm layers with you as it does get cooler later in the afternoon as the tour comes to an end.

    A must do trip

    The salt flats where incredible, its a must if you visit Uyuni or Bolivia. I was disappointed with Viator though, they advertised this tour as English speaking which it was not, luckily there was bilingual people on the tour which could translate or else I would have missed a lot of information, a part from that it was great, was impressed with the food and a nice surprise glass of wine with the sunset.

    Tour company never showed up

    The Tour Operator never picked us up at the hotel. Per my reservation ticket my pick-up location is my hotel and the time of Pick-up was 10:30am. We waited from 10:19 to 11:30 am and no one showed up. I left an email and called the tour company. They have yet to respond. Our hotel called the tour operator as well. No response. We ended up booking another tour from a local tour company for three times the price. I have never had a tour operator not show up or contact us if there was a problem.

    Spectacular Sunset and Stargazing in the Uyuni Salt Flat: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Spectacular Sunset and Stargazing in the Uyuni Salt Flat cost?

    +

    Prices start at $58 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Uyuni usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Spectacular Sunset and Stargazing in the Uyuni Salt Flat take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Uyuni is not rushed.

    Is Spectacular Sunset and Stargazing in the Uyuni Salt Flat worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Uyuni, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Spectacular Sunset and Stargazing in the Uyuni Salt Flat?

    +

    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 Spectacular Sunset and Stargazing in the Uyuni Salt Flat suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Spectacular Sunset and Stargazing in the Uyuni Salt Flat?

    +

    Around 2 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 Uyuni 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 Uyuni and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Spectacular Sunset and Stargazing in the Uyuni Salt Flat 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 Uyuni 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 Uyuni?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Uyuni experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3-Days Tour to the Uyuni Salt Flat and Colored Lagoons +Sunset+Mirror Effect, Uyuni Salt Flat 1 Day Tour +Sunset in the Salt Water Region with Mirror Effect, 3-Day Salt Tour of Uyuni with Sunset and Lagoons Colorada. 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 Uyuni?

    +

    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 Uyuni?

    +

    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.

    +
