Great guides, experience and value
We booked after 9pm for a next day tour and had no issue coordinating via WhatsApp with the late booking. Our guide was Victor, who was informative, helpful and seamlessly communicated everything clearly in both English and Spanish. Locals are involved in the tours at both Uros floating villages and the Taquile island demonstrations with Victor providing additional info and translations. Lunch was a choice of local trout or omelette. The boat was clean, comfy and in great working order. Highly recommend.

Must do in Puno
Very good experience. Definitely a must do in Puno. Freddie (not Mercury) was an excellent guide.

Really interesting and worthwhile day tour.
Very enjoyable tour with Freddy who gave extra insight into Uros lifestyle because his family live there. The floating islands are amazing. Everything was well explained in English and Spanish. The lunch was very good, thanks to the chef of Taquile who also demonstrated the use of a natural soap from a kind of cactus. The boat ride was very smooth and sent us to sleep!

We had a great day!
We enjoyed this trip a lot! Esteban was a great tour guide who spoke English and Spanish slowly and clearly so we could understand him well. He was also extra patient with us to ensure everybody gets the time they need to explore Titikaka lake. We are happy we chose this tour with him and we definitely recommend it. Be aware that in order to explore Taquile island, you need to climb the hill. But you'll get all the time you need to do it on your own pace.

Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 527 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Puno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast 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 Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat?
+
Around 184 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast 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 Uros and Taquile Speedboat Day Tour in Small Group, Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat, Puno to Cusco Scenic Day Trip with Lunch (Route of the Sun). 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.
