Stunning landscapes

Peter_D, Mar 2026
Very interesting landscapes; red cliffs and beach contrasted with the blue ocean. We saw vultures, boobies, and some other birds, but no flamingos. Our guide said the flamingos have moved further south. There were only 6 people in our van so that was nice. There were other excursions by this company that may have gone to additional places and were more crowded. It only took about 2 hours to see the stops that we went to, probably because our group was so small. The tour was informative and we were pleased with what we saw, even though the length was not as long as we thought it would be, since we got back to the ship in time for lunch.

A real enjoyable day.

A tour can really be made with a charismatic guide and that’s exactly what we had with James. I enjoyed the way he got us all involved at each stop to take photos (and he is a good photographer). Our group was small (6 people) and we felt liked we had the perfect balance of personal time and guide time. The air conditioned vehicle was a plus.

Thank you ever so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic time exploring the wildlife around the Lester Islands. It’s wonderful to know you found the boat comfortable and appreciated the shaded roof—it certainly helps make the experience more relaxing. We're especially pleased that our guide’s knowledge enhanced your day and that you were able to spot all the wildlife on offer. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
