Overview
Hop into a dune buggy and experience the adrenaline rush of the incredible Huacachina dunes. The tour lasts two hours, starting at 4:00 PM as sunset approaches. We’ll buckle up—this is a safe and reliable experience. You will go sandboarding lying down on various dunes (a safe method for all travelers), and your guide will be with you throughout the entire activity.
The sunsets here are unique; bring a camera, as your photos will capture the memories of your experience.
Please come prepared with lightweight clothing, sunscreen, and sunglasses (optional).
During public holidays and Holy Week, the experience is shortened to one hour due to high traveler demand. This applies to dates in late March, July, and the end of the year.
In the summer (January, February, March), we start at 4:30 PM; since the sun sets later during this season, we adjust the schedule to ensure you can enjoy the sunset—this does not affect the total duration of the experience.
