The whole trip was great. I was picked up from hotel by the peru hop guide and went on to paracas and the boat trip. We then went for lunch were I could have vegan food and then onto San boarding and sand bugging again huacachina which was great fun. Next day off to nazca in mini buses. I ended up going on the first plane which was great and they put me on a shuttle back to huacachina straight away so I had a lovely afternoon before the coach back to lima with drop off at hotel. All was smooth and well organised. Definitely recommend this tour.

Good experience
Louise_B, Apr 2024
Early start but had to be to fit everything in. Particularly enjoyed the dunes, great fun. The boat trip was also ok. Read what is included, you have to book your own hotel in Haucachina. We stayed at the hotel Haucachineria which was ok and very close to the drop off/pickup points for the trips. The Nazca flight was good. Felt a bit woozy for some of the flight though.
DONT do it
Jessie_J, Mar 2024
Drive was super long, had to wait over 2 hours to get on a flight. They overbooked and this hs resulted in the worst delay. Don’t do it. Not worth the money.
Flexible and English Speaker Friendly
Adelia_W, Mar 2024
The guides were all great English speakers, and made the tour more meaningful for us because we could understand the surroundings more. Peru hop themselves were very flexible— even turning around when I left my passport at my hotel. Would highly recommend for English speakers traveling to South America because they made it so easy!
90% Bus ride, 10% tour
leahtardo, Jan 2024
I thought we would be given more information on the locations in which we were in during our Peru Hop "tour" - One of our guides even fell asleep during our drive! If you're familiar with greyhound buses, this is exactly that. They get you from point A to B to C. On the Island tour, we chose the "English" option and only 2 people in our group of 40 (or so) didn't understand English, so he proceeded to translate, which was fine until he didn't have enough time during the tour to do both languages, so the last half of the tour was mostly all Spanish. A lot of the people in our group felt we were at a disadvantage since we had all chosen the English option during our booking. If you choose to go to Nazca lines by plane, you may want to take some anti nausea medicine, or coca leaves ahead of time, and DO NOT eat anything before hand! Two people got very sick and puked on the plane, something they don't warn you about. Overall, I'd say go with a real tour company of you're expecting an educational experience like we were. If you're just looking for a really expensive shuttle service, this company is just fine for that.
The trip you have to do when in Peru.
Lisa_U, Jan 2024
It is a long couple of days but it gets you on the tour for these iconic Peruvian locations. A hiccup in Paracas saw the boat trip cancelled due to rough seas but the Peru Hop staff did their best to find alternative experiences for us while there. Huacachina's sand dune buggy ride and sand boarding is definitely an experience for the non faint hearted.. but it has to be done to get the full experience. Nazca lines was my goal for the trip, long day with a small shuttle bus ride there and back.. but for me it was worth it to finally see the Nazca lines. Long but great couple of days.
Amazing
SUMITA_K, Oct 2023
This was an Excellent organized trip. We enjoyed the trip. Good english speaking guides. Well explained.
Highly Reccomend
Hayley_N, Oct 2023
I highly reccomed all of the excursions included in this tour, but specifically LOVED the dune buggy and sandboarding. Peru Hop provides the transportation from excursion to excursion and handles most of the payments which was very nice. However, the transportation felt like loosely organized chaos moat of the time. For the Nazca lines flight, which was very cool, I would highly reccomend motion sickness meds of some kind even if you dont normally feel ill. The plane is good and not to shake but banking left and right to allow for good viewing did give me a headache and make me a bit nauseous.
Great trip.

Fantastic experience in Huacachina and Nazca with PeruHop
Daniel_M, Sep 2023
The tour was amazing, it hits the highlights of Huacachina and Nazca, and it also was a lot of fun!. PeruHop is very well organized, they run all the different tours that people are taking like a well-oiled machine, we didn’t have to worry about a thing, just follow basic instructions. Claudia, Ricardo, and Sol were very kind (you can see they work very hard) and are fantastic guides giving you enough attention despite the large groups of people. Highly recommended!
Great tour. I recommend it!
Francesca_B, Aug 2023
It was a good tour. I recommend it! huacachina oasis really fun both buggy and sandbording. the guides spoke both spanish and english very well.
Great trip.
Kathryn_F, Jul 2023
Dune buggies and sand boarding total adrenaline fix. Nazca lines cool and scenery magnificent. Some disorganisation with so many different groups on buses. Overall a great experience. Would recommend and is definitely worth the money.
Nazca Flight Not Worth It
trepi, Jun 2023
Don't do Nazca, very long travel from Huacachina. Not worth the long drive and cost. 30 minutes up flight, 6 hours drive. Plus ridiculously high Airport tax.
Fun! Recommended
Xingxian_L, Jun 2023
it was a great trip. Lots of fun riding the buggy and sand surfing. The Nasca lines were very interesting.
Great way to see Nazca...
Jane_B, Nov 2022
Great way to see Nazca lines! PeruHop did a good job shuttling us between buses and tours as necessary and making sure everyone got to the right spot.
Super
Linda_L, Nov 2022
Great tour , we enjoyed every moment , super cool experience , love the the boat ride, Sandboarding, dune buggy and Nasca lines
Fun experiences; poorly managed
Beth_P, Jul 2022
Paracas, Huacachina (sand buggy & sand surfing, too) & the Nazca Lines were awesome! The bad parts were the terrible communication skills of my tour guide and the transportation to & from Nazca. I wound up alone & nearly missed the tour because the leader’s instructions were vague & confusing. The driver was careless & the vans were crummy. Lastly, when you need help Viator has no easy way to get it.
So and so
Alkistis_S, Sep 2021
On our way to the island Peru hop informed us that due to weather conditions we would go to the Natianal Reserve Park Paracas instead. We had lunch at Paracas at a TERRIBLE restaurant that PeruHop suggested. The drives take way longer than suggested and the free time is way less. Huacachina is like Miami, there was music everywhere until 3.30 am despite the curfew. The sandboarding was BELLY-sandboarding and not feet sandboarding. Buggy experience was awesome. Huacachina does not have warm water to take a bath. On our way to Nazca, PeruHop gave us to another driver and bus, who picked up people who where not part of our group from different locations, even though PeruHop reassured us that it would be just people from the group. This resulted in one hour delay. We were not allowed to completely use the restrooms on the bus.
La experiencia es única...
Sergio_M, Aug 2023
La experiencia es única observar desde el cielo las líneas de nazca, el desierto es hermoso y el atardecer tiene vistas únicas. Muy recomendado.
Belle esperienze, trasferimenti da migliorare
Luca_C, Aug 2022
Esperienza incredibile per i contenuti, vedere il deserto, l’oasi di huacachina e il tramonto sulla sabbia è spettacolare. Nazca non ha bisogno di presentazioni, il volo è stato abbastanza turbolento ma ciò non cambia la magnificenza del posto. Unica nota negativa è che il tour è lasciato molto al viaggiatore e non c’è una guida che indichi sempre i luoghi e le tempistiche da rispettare, abbiamo rischiato di perdere il bus per nazca per questo
