Buggy Ride In Paracas National Reserve

The program itself was quite unorganized sadly. The pickup time they mentioned didnt meet reality sadly, the duration of the trip also didnt reach the promised 2 hours. They put us in a buggy under the burning sun, behind other buggies with running engine, inhaling that horrible toxic gas for over 15 minutes before the tour started. In the description they dont mention that you need to pay the park entrance fee again, what was already included in the program price. 12 solis per person. At this check point you again need to under the burning sun for 10-15 minutes until every person of the group pays the fee. There should be a 5 meter safety distance between each buggies normally, but noone kept this rule, we got hit from the back several times, on of the buggies almost crashed 2 cars on the road as well. The seatbelt on our buggy didnt work at all sadly. The maintainance of the buggies are bad sadly.

We had a great time cruising through the reserve. Our guide was friendly and informative. We had fun and would recommend this to see some of the beautiful coastlines in Paracas.

This tour was great, we had an excellent guide. It is a well organized tour with three short stops to take pictures. It is an amazing place to see and the dune buggy was a great way to see it. I highly recommend doing it, take the extended route.

Collected us 15 minutes late, though did answer a WhatsApp call immediately when I called to make sure they were coming. Briefing was brief (there is the go pedal, the stop pedal and how to run the engine on /off). The helmets were bicycle helmets. The seatbelts did not work. Driving them was fun. They were fairly gutless so the chances of having an accident were fairly low. We went to three stops, a big windy beach for 20 minutes, a high point overlooking the red beach for 10 minutes, another viewpoint nearer the red beach and back to Paracas along the main road.

Convenient location and a guide who looked not for our safety crossing streets etc.. Not a lot of info along the ride but great stops and dynamic views. There was just us and the guide so the pace was nice.

We got to place and we’re set with 3 buggies. 2ppl per buggy. Within a block first buggy broke down. Was replaced. We went on. And when we got to park another buggy could kot go full speed. They tried fixing it many times. Too many times in my opinion. We wasted half hour of tour before they sent for a replacement. Equipment was not what it should have been. Guide was good. I know he felt bad.

Terrible experience. Buggy broke down over 6 times went through 3 different buggys and the route was not the one pictured. Advertised was a costal beach side buggy ride but we never drove on the beach at all just beside a cliff close to the ocean. 3 stops at 15 minutes each to “site see” so really the buggy riding was only about an hour not 2. Would not go again and would not advise. Also we were not the only couple whose buggy broke down and when someone’s buggy broke down the whole group had to wait which made what should have been a 2hour tour close to 4hrs. Las Adventure won’t give our money back so I would stay away from this! Hopefully TripAdvisor will make things right with us!

Very fun experiences. Drivers were super nice. The value of this tour is worth it. Lots of tourists come to visit. Would suggest to get a taxi or driver to get to this location

We did a day trip from Lima (there and back with Cruz del Sur) and had a great time buggying in Paracas! 10/10 would recommend. And so easy to organise - we booked the whole thing less than 24hr beforehand.

Great guide that took us through all the main attraction points in Paracas National Reserve! Would recommend!

Great ride around the Paracas Reserve, with beautiful beaches and sunset. We had plenty of time to take pictures in different spots also to ride off-road. Surely there's no better way to visit the expansive reserve!

This trip is not worthwhile. Contacted tour provider night before to confirm pickup, no response. The day of booking I attempted calling them to no avail. Eventually got in contact via WhatsApp, 15mins past tour start time. Agreed tour would start 1hr past initial start time. Got picked up 1hr 15mins past the initial booking. When tour took place we literally stopped at 3 viewpoints in Paracas Reserve. Tour completed after 1hr 20min rather than the scheduled 2hrs. You would be better to hire a car for the day and you could explore Paracas reserve at your leisure.

We had a great time. It was easy to book the trip, everyone was pleasant, everything was on time. - March 2022, as travel and tourism was coming back after Covid.

We loved this tour, and Ramon our tour guide was hilarious not to mention a blast to spend the afternoon with! Definitely make sure to wear plenty of sunscreen for this excursion. It is in the heart of deep desert, but surrounded by epic beaches and scenery. Additionally make sure to wear googles and to cover your body with pants and some sort of longer shirt as there is lots of small rocks and the salt playas. You will certainly appreciate eye wear to protect you from both of those as well as the intense sun. You have the chance to go to a beach for about fifteen minutes which was a nice touch. My partner and I truly enjoyed the cool water break from the hot sun. We scheduled our tour for 1pm due to our bus schedule but I would highly recommend the earlier tour or the tour at 3pm instead to avoid the intense heat. Luckily, even with the heat, the water and buggy provide tons of cooling air along the tour. Our guide walked the beach separately from us, but came back with many sea shells and cool rocks for us to enjoy. He also was just an inviting and lovely person to meet. He showed us how there is endless salt crystals under the surface of the dirt there. Really cool to see and enjoy!! He also happily took photos of us, and shared some of his experiences in Paracas. Overall the guides make it easy to meet up through using WhatsApp. They are beyond hospitable and really value their tourists here. Paracas is definitely less traveled area, but everyone in the community is mindful of tourist safety and comfort. I would happily come back to this area again!

We booked this tour to experience driving the mini-buggy around Paracas and see the views and it was amazing! Was overall pleased with the experience itself, but we was not pleased with the service of the tour guides. I requested an english tour guide and did not get an english speaking tour guide. No tour guide gave us any information/knowledge about Paracas so we didn't really get to learn much. We got picked up at the Double-tree hotel and brought to the buggy where we then drove the buggy to the reserve to meet up with the other people at the first stop. It was nice, but our tour guide left us and we were told to wait an extra 15mins to join another tour. One of the tour guide's ATV's broke down so we were stopped in the middle of the route for a while. Our buggy turned off a few times and had to be jumped started with the wires. When we ended the tour and was brought back to where we picked up the mini-buggy, no one was there to take us back to the hotel where we was picked up at. we had to flag down a motor-taxi that didn't want to take us that far.

Great experience riding ATVs and buggies through the incredible Paracas reserve, and the boat trip to see the Ballestas Islands was fun, informative, and seeing the wildlife up close was unforgettable. Highly recommend the tours offered, we will be back soon !

Our agent Jorge was very courteous and knowledgeable. We only had half day in Paracas and we did the Buggy ride tour in the National Reserve. We highly recommend using this company. It can get a little chilly during the ride so highly recommend wearing layers.

We had a great time on this trip! We had a blast cruising around the reserve on our buggy. They allow about 10-15 minutes to check out each viewpoint, which were all absolutely beautiful. Definitely bring long sleeves, light pants, and sunglasses to protect from the sun/wind/sand. Our buggy's engine failed but our guide let us drive his instead, and he came with a rope so the trip was saved(we pulled him along the rest of the way, with not much sacrifice in speed), and it all made it a bit more fun and adventurous! Highly recommend this tour!

We did the boat tour and the buggy trip. This was a perfect activity for in the morning! The communication in advance with the owner Joel was excellent. Joel took care of everything and it went very smooth! The boat tour and buggy trip were fun, we would definitely recommend this organization to others!

Joel and his team are awesome! The dunes buggy ride was amazing and should not be missed. So much fun!

The buggy ride and guide were great. Two things cause me to give less than a 5 star review. First, the guide was a very nice person but he did not speak any English. Second, when we were dropped off at the office after our tour there was no one at the office to arrange our return ride to the hotel.

We didn't really know what to expect from this but were pleasantly surprised. The buggies are fun to drive and you visit some amazing viewpoints in the national reserve. Although our guide didn't speak English it didn't matter - he was attentive and helpful and took some great photos for us so we could capture the experience. Well worth doing in Paracas.

Great fun driving buggies through the national reserve, tour was reasonably priced and when we did it it was only 2 of us so got a better personal experience

Great afternoon on the National Reserve with Manuel! We had a terrific time on our dune buggies exploring the reserve and watching the sunset! Manuel gave us plenty of details and it was an added bonus that he is a Geologist. We loved all the details of the land formations and fossils. Would highly recommend !!

We have done paracas tour and ballestas island with las adventure, Joel offered us nice tour to the park reserve from 4pm - 6pm.it was amazing tour with the sunset and colorful landscape our kids were very happy. (You can drive by your own) our guide was fantastic. joel gave us the instrution is not complicate. 100 % recommended, thank you vaitor and las adventure.

The experience is worth it; it's fun, and they take you to see beautiful places in the desert.

Le désert est très beau, des spots impressionnants. Mais plusieurs points négatifs : - le buggy se conduit sur une route stricte les uns derrières les autres - aucune explication lors des stops, aucune interaction avec le guide - pas de conseil sur les vêtements à porter (il y a beaucoup de vent frais donc il faut être couvert & des lunettes de soleil pour le sable)

The guide's English wasn't great, but he did his best. Afterwards he apologized for it, but it was OK for us.

El paisaje es precioso pero el Paseo en Buggy es muy malo. No se para que alquilan unos buggies tan buenos, si luego el guía va tan lento que te adelantan las bicicletas (literalmente). Ademas, no hablaba español, raro estando en Perú. Inglés tampoco. Veía a otras compañias adelantarnos con sus quads y bogies con guías mucho mejor preparados.

The reservation is very nice, the tour has exceptional views. Visit the largest beach and access from Buggy to Playa Roja. We had a small problem with the carburetor because there was a lot of wind and sand, but nothing very serious.

La visita alla riserva nazionale con i buggie è stata molto divertente! Sono facili da guidare e la nostra guida è stata molto attenta e gentile. Abbiamo fatto 3 fermate per vedere i punti panoramici di questo posto a dir poco spettacolare. L’entrata alla riserva costa circa 3€ e si paga direttamente all’entrata. Consigliato vivamente.

During our visit to Paracas, we used the guide named Joel for two activities: Huacachina and the Paracas Nature Reserve. I have very good memories because the landscapes were simply beautiful. Superb activities and especially unforgettable encounters. Joël was very careful with us and everything was perfect from start to finish. We couldn't ask for a better guide. I recommend:)

Wonderful experience, since we arrived at Paracas Joel and the team of Las Adventure took care that we live a wonderful experience, with all the protocols and safety. 10000000% recommended. Thank you The Adventure.

I have contacted this Enterprise Las Adventure, we have chosen to hike to the mini Buggies inside the Paracas reserve, everything was very well organized by their guides and their routes of the Paracas reserve. I really loved the red beach and its beaches. Slowly recommended this Enterprise.

Excellent Service and attention...very punctual, fair prices... Joel and his team know and offer many options!!

Very pleasant companion and Joel the driver. Beautiful scenery and driving buggies very fun. With the possibility to exchange drivers throughout the ride. I recommend!

An experience of the desert and the coast that left us fascinated. The organization is excellent: pick-up at the hotel and then immediately on board these two-seater cars that go much better on the dirt road than on the normal road. Tour along at least twenty km with stops in the indicated places and conclusion at the red beach. Remember to bring sunglasses, foulard for mouth and nose and jacket or sweater to shelter from the wind and sand that will hit you.

I went with my 6-year-old daughter. From the Hotel they took me to a kind of carport and made me wait outside in the sun because the person responsible was not, the same way at the end of the tour the guide did not know anything that they had to make me return to my Hotel, to this also add that they left me in another place where there was also no person responsible; so I understood that it was a kind of subcontract and they got clients in different ways. I was NOT returned to my hotel. On the other hand, the vehicle I touched in bad conditions: old tires, plus the protective helmets were also very old. Finally, they promote that you can go places that with vehicles or on foot you do not reach; however, 90% of the journey is where you commonly go with any car, and to my claim we take a path parallel to the road.
