Islas Ballestas + Sandboarding in One Day?
Is this do-able... it sounds possible, but does it sound too busy for one day?
4:00AM Bus to Paracas from Lima
~8:00AM Boat Tour of Islas Ballestas
11:00AM Bus to Ica
~12:15 Arrive Ica
1:00PM Sandboarding tour to Huacachina
~4:00PM Arrive back in Ica
6:45PM Bus to Nazca
Looks packed, but it's just a boat tour and sandboarding. Plus bus rides, but that I'm not worried about. Are the buses typically on schedule?
Do-able? Too much? Not enough leeway between things?

mysteryperu.com good info doable
but 4 hours to Paracas
1 hour to Ica
1 hour on to Nasca
But a FULL day...
If you fly the lines it will be calmest the next AM
I did mine for $55 with Brabant Tours in Nasca
Very nice Dutch Lady quite reputable they do 4 seat Cessnas
High Wing great views saw everything
Refuse bigger airplanes many scammers try to put you
on you will see little a common scam they run there
Avoid all the touts at the bus station.
Happy Travels!

If you are careful with your time, your itinerary should work out comfortably. For example:
3:45am bus to Paracas with Cruz del Sur
7:45am arrival in Paracas, arrange for 3-hr Islas Ballestas tour
11:15am back in Paracas, enjoy lunch
12pm bus to Ica
1:45pm arrival in Ica
2pm arrival in Huacachina by taxi, arrange for sandboarding tour
6:15pm or 6:45pm bus to Nazca with Cruz del Sur
Have a great trip!
