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.

Organized
We were in Paracas previously but did not take this tour…we went to Tambo Colorado instead. We looked for to our tour and they did not disappoint. We had a little ruff trip out due to winds but we saw so many sea lions, penguins, sea birds, and the island are incredible. There is no doubt we would book this trip again.

Excellent tour of Paracas region.
It is a wonderful tour and packed full of great experiences. The boat trip was my favorite as the wildlife was amazing to witness. Beyond the expected, we saw dolphins and whales. The guides were kind and informative. They provided lots of interesting information as well as having kind conversations while awaiting the next leg of the tour. The tour is very long and we all felt pretty wiped out by the end but the have no regrets.

Definitely worth the money
The tour was so worth it! I saw more seals here than from Antarctica! Love the itinerary. Guides are very professional, especially Ricardo Alfredo. He explained everything and told us stories everywhere we went

Nice family friendly trip
Picked up from our hotel promptly and taken to the pier. The journey out to the islands was smooth and fast. Very good guide who explained everything clearly and in very good English. We saw plenty of sea lions but unfortunately on this occasion the penguins were not present.

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".

The tour was very organised, our driver did great job and Cristal, our tour guide was amazing. That was a whole day tour and we are happy we chose it.

Scenic Boat Rise
This was a wildlife tour. It consisted of a boat ride out to some islands populated by a lot of birds, a few penguins, and sea lions. Unfortunately, the public address system on the boat was very poorly used by the guide such that it was very difficult to understand the narration of the tour and discussion about what we were seeing. But there were many opportiunities to take pictures and enjoy the scenery.

Birds, so many birds, and sea lions
The boat ride was great! Fiorella and Captain Oscar are a great guides. We even saw two whales (mother and baby) on the way back. The weather was perfect. It truly was worth every penny. However, the "only land" experience was very mid. No food, no water. We were left to our own devices for about 30-45 mins, with nothing to do. Weird. That's why I'm removing one star. But the birds and sea lions are totally worth it.
