Boat Tour of the Ballestas Islands in Paracas
Paracas, Peru

What You Will Do
The Tour to the Ballestas Islands begins at the craft and tourist dock of El Chaco. We will board our boat with 02 outboard motors that will take us to the wonderful Ballestas Islands, the most important wildlife sanctuary on the Peruvian coast, where we will observe sea lions, silly birds, pelicans, penguins and other seabirds.
Definitely the highlight of the Tour to the Ballestas Islands are the sea lions or sea lions who steal everyone's attention due to their curious behavior (they sleep, "pose for the cameras", or simply socialize and live without problems since occupy the top of the food chain in the area without natural predators).

Great experience on the Ballestas islands tour
2023-11-29
We took a boat tour out to the Ballestas islands. Our tor guide Eduardo was excellent. He explained the history of the culture and civilization that use to be in the area long before the Spanish colonization. While on the tour we got to see plenty of Sea Lions, penguins, spider crabs, birds, lots of birds and star fish. Eduardo made the tour light and fun with humor and jokes to keep all involved. He explains everything in both English and Spanish so that everyone can understand and follow along. I highly recommend taking the tour and if possible ask for Eduardo.
