It offers a different way of visiting the amazing and popular reed home islands from Puno city. This late afternoon on your kayak you’ll cover the beautiful foreshore of Southern Uros islands in Lake Titicaca National Reserve. It’s perfect for those who are fairly new to kayaking, as well as more experienced kayakers who enjoy and appreciate the contrast while the sun is slowly setting over Puno hill and the reed islands. Current launch location is near Isla Esteves 15 min away from Puno city but you won’t need to make sure how you’re going to get to the local dock for the scheduled lunching time because private transfer is included. You don’t need to be an experienced kayaker as our kayaks are really stable and you will be instructed and guided in a small group of paddlers (or only you).

Really enjoyed the tour a...
Really enjoyed the tour a lot! Its a way to experience the lake in a much calmer way than with the tourist boats. Stunning views and the Sounds of the birds…The Agency also helped me to store my luggage during the tour, as I had already checked out :)

Brilliant tour guide for kayaking and boat tours on Lake Titicaca
Andean Ways is a great company. Edison was a brilliant guide for both a sunset kayak tour of the Uros islands and a private tour of Taquile Island the next day. He was friendly, flexible, knowledgeable, and a great boat navigator. We appreciated Freddy’s attention to the WhatsApp account in getting us scheduled with flexibility and relatively short notice while offering affordable prices. Highly recommend Andean Ways for anyone looking for chill kayak and boat tours on Lake Titicaca!

Bucket list Advey!
Edison, our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the people, languages and culture of the Uros Islands. That’s in addition to the awesome kayaking experience!

Rent a kayak for an adventure
I took a rental kayak by myself (solo female) around sunset and navigated to Urcos. The equipment was top notch and the experience was beautiful. I highly recommend this company. Great communication, timeliness and value. Felt very safe.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Uros Sunset Kayak Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does Uros Sunset Kayak Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Uros Sunset Kayak Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.8 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 Uros Sunset Kayak Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Uros Sunset Kayak Private Tour?
+
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 Uros Sunset Kayak Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Uros Sunset Kayak Private Tour?
+
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 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 3.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Uros Sunset Kayak Private Tour 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 Uros Sunset Kayak Private Tour?
+
Included: Private transportation; Gratuities; and Kayak equipment. Not included: Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Uros Sunset Kayak Private Tour?
+

What languages is Uros Sunset Kayak Private Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Uros Sunset Kayak Private Tour?
+

Is Uros Sunset Kayak Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
