Excellent trip to swim with the sea lions - Such a great morning! Private transfer from my hotel in Miraflores to the port to meet the boat. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny and even jumped in and swam with the sea lions with us.

Go swimming with sea lions - This was hands down my favorite activity done in Lima. There were so much interesting facts about the islands and birds, that you may not get elsewhere. The water is COLD, but after a while, your body adapts. Solo traveler friendly and our tour guide Julio was amazing. There were many people on our boat and I felt safe in the water. FYI, you might smell a little fishy after, but a proper shower or 2 should help. Also, this makes for a good 2 truths, one lie game lol. I’d book this trip again!

Great Experience - Loved it! Just as described. Water is cold, and there is an odor at the island, but it is worth the experience.

I’m so glad I did this! - Great boat ride past the old prison and a bird sanctuary. Swimming with the sea lions was such a fun and memorable experience! The juveniles were as curious about us as we were about them. The water was cold, but I quickly adapted and forgot about the temperature as the sea lions came over to check me out.

Great experience - It was an experience that was hard to experience. The water was 16C and cold, but it was nice to swim with them. You should swim together at least once.

It is an open air boat,... - It is an open air boat, so wear a hat and bring sunscreen. The snack was a juice box and small bag of chips. I would recommend they only allow children over 15. We had young kids that screamed and squealed, which is understandable, however, every time they did, the seals turned away from us. The kids were told to be quiet, but they were too young to control themselves. The seals got no closer than about 15 feet (5m).
