We enjoyed this well run tour that included hotel pickup and entry fee into the national park. I wouldn't hesitate to book this trip again. We had an amazing day!

Great tour in Paracas for Ballestas Island. Easy to book, including short notice. Great support and communication via Whatsapp. Boat tour was operated responsibly and safely, tour guide very warm and knowledgeable. Life vests were provided/compulsory. A wonderful way to spend a couple of hours, enjoying landscape, nature and sea life. Highly recommend!

We exited the cruise shuttle at Marina Turistica and the agent was right outside with a sign. We were even able to switch to an earlier tour time. Awesome tour - saw penguins, sea lions and lots of birds. Included the entrance fee, unlike other more expensive providers. 100% recommend

A well arranged and awe inspiring trip. Our host met us at the arranged location on time and the route sailed was spectacular. In July we were able to sign many seals, penguins and a variety of bird species. Truly magical views of nature!

The ride was perfect, the tour guide was knowledgeable, and explained everything in english and spanish. But the tour guide or the boat doesnt not belong to the company South Americans Secrets. That company give you the tks to access and pass the marina. We were there like 9:30am, our ride was scheduled at 10am. We arrived from Chincha and wanted to use the restrooms and have coffee first, but the contact lady told us that a boat is about to leave so rush to the restrooms and rush towards the boat. I should have put my foot down and asked her to wait to our time. I didnt. My family and I sat apart during the ride and tour because the boat was almost full. During the ride I realized that there were other boats that left after us. I should have wait until the 10:00am. This company didnt like it because it was like they wanted to get rid of us.

Amazing experience, we couldn’t go to the Ballestas as they were closed due to weather but we still saw a lot of wildlife and went to other good spots. Tour guide was very helpful and came to pick us up as we were running a bit late

The tour to the Ballestas Islands with the explanations of guide Juan and driver Lucio was great. The roofless boat allowed us to see all the birds without any difficulty. Highly recommended.
