What are people saying about Ballestas Islands (Islas Ballestas)

The tour was very...
The tour was very interesting. The Ballestas Island was absolutely incredible — we saw a dolphin, seals, sea lions, penguins, pelicans, and other fascinating birds. The national park is very beautiful, with an amazing combination of yellow landscapes and blue sea.
I wish the bus had been better. The air conditioning didn’t work, and the bus itself wasn’t very clean.

We had a good experience...
We had a good experience visiting Paracas and Ballestas island from Lima. Our guide, Raul, was very informative and helpful. Just some suggestion for people who plan to take this tour to prepare raincoat and maybe anti-motion sickness medication for speedboat traveling.

Amazing Experience (but cramped van)
Great tour with experienced and friendly guide, Jesus, and his skilled driver. Appreciated his talks with digital photos. Expect a long day with three amazing stops - boat tour, air over Nazca, and dune buggies but long drives between. Highly recommended.
Only negative and not 5 stars was that the back seats in the van were exruciating painful for anyone over 5'2".

Fun packed few days
What a fantastic trip with Luis, Eduardo and Mr Johann. Well organised with so many very different experiences. It was a long bus trip back to Lima but well worth it for the trip. Highly recommend,

The trip was 15 hours long.
We had an English speaking guide but she knew very little English. Luckily we had a couple other people on our tour that could translate for us. She didn’t know a lot about the environment (plants, trees). The boat ride was enjoyable but being on the back of the boat we could not hear the guide. It was a mixed language tour and he spoke Spanish most of the time. She didn’t an excellent job finding a place to stop for lunch and dinner.

A long day but an experience worth having <3
Our guide, Rudi was very hospitable and knowledgeable. The drive was clean & comfy. The boat tour in the morning was interesting bt very cold. Afterwards the buggy ride was soooo fun & a real adrenaline rush with all the bumps and steep slopes. Food for lunch wasn't inclusive but it was yummy & the servings were massive! We topped off with the pisco tour which we enjoyed very much. I blv our guide was juan. We left with 3 bottles of pisco!
