It was my first time doing this, and Tony’s mentoring helped me stand and slide through the dunes. I tried sandboarding, but the sand skiing looked just as fun as sandboarding. The boogie is super fun!”

“This was the highlight of our two week trip to Peru! We chose this company because they specifically mentioned they do sand skiing in addition to sandboarding. They do ask that you have some snow skiing history, since it’s a bit harder than sand boarding. I’m no where near an expert at skiing and I was able to manage just fine. Our group of 7 had mixed skills but it was so fun to cheer each other on and watch the progress over the 6-7 runs that we did. Our guides were phenomenal at taking photos and videos of us as we went, we didn’t even have to ask. The…”

Sand Snow School aka Sandingboarding Peru provide you the equipment and instruction to help you get the full experience. Jhonny was our tour guide who not only gives me a lot of advice helping me to switch from Snowboarding to Sandboarding, but also did a great job in getting us some awesome video and photos for the gram!

“Me and my partner booked this tour and practically got nothing for our money. Someone took us to the dunes we’re there was a hidden fee to get in and basically left us there. We waited about 20 minutes before we got in a buggy which I think might have just been because we paid an entrance fee for anyway We got one go on the sand boarding in a small hill and missed the sunset. I’m pretty sure that was also part of the entrance fee as there were people there not ipart of any tour. We paid for the 17:30 sandboarding and sunset and got neither. Got nothing…”

“Llegamos 20 minutos antes, la administración no tenía idea de qué empresas (3 o 4 distintas) se manejan en el mismo sitio y que nosotros estábamos registrados para el tour. Cuando validaron nuestra reserva, nos indicaron que debíamos esperar “un ratito”. Nuestro tour en teoría empezaba a las 4 pm. Pasaron 25 minutos de las 4 sin indicarnos nada. Finalmente decidí quejarme con la persona que nos había registrado e indicó que “empezaría más tarde ya que en estos días el sunset aparece más tarde”. Nuestra molestia es porque, aunque es válido el cambio, no se nos indicó con antelación, ni por correo ni aún en el momento de registro…”
