Overview

Discover the best of Peru’s coast and desert in a single day of nature and adventure. Unlike standard tours, this experience combines the marine life of the Ballestas Islands with the thrill of the Huacachina Oasis.

Cruise around the Ballestas to spot sea lions, penguins, and seabirds, and admire the mysterious Candelabra geoglyph carved into the desert cliffs. Later, head to Huacachina, where you’ll ride dune buggies and try sandboarding on giant golden dunes as the sun sets.

With a professional bilingual guide, comfortable transport, and personalised service, this tour offers a fun, seamless, and unforgettable experience for travellers who love nature, culture, and adventure, all in one perfect day.
