Ride a 4x4 to the Huacachina dunes, learn sandboarding, and slide down with Huacachina Oasis views. 1 to 2 hours.
“Bei Ankunft in der Agentur herrschte erst einmal etwas Verwirrung. Man hatte uns wohl nicht erwartet (haben aber auch erst ein paar Stunden zuvor gebucht). Man geht dann durch den Ort zum Eingang der Dünen und weiter zu den Buggys. Insgesamt hat die Aktivität genau eine Stunde gedauert, also mit Wartezeit, Fussweg, Fahrt zum Aussichtspunkt, Pause, Sandboarding, Rückfahrt.”
Huacachina sandboard and sandski adventure with dune buggy rides, guided descents, pro photos, and a sunset stop at the oasis.
“Wow! I still have sand in my teeth, but what an incredible experience for my family. Our guides were great and super friendly. We met at 3 pm and we were the last group skiing that we saw. We have a lot of runs also. They start on the bunny hills and then progressed from there. We do have experience snow skiing, which probably helped, but my 14 year old son loved it so much that he wants to go again! The dune buggy lift was super fun and thrilling. Thank you Sandboard and Sandski. We see why you are highly rated. Memories of a lifetime created. Thank you. Mucho…”
