Humbolt penguins welcomed us! - My friends and I booked this tour through our travel agent in Lima. Though we couldn’t get to Ballestas due to the rough sea, we did manage to see the Islas Blanca and the candelabro, and it was wonderful to see the penguins, sea lions, and the variety of birds. A couple of penguins were active when we arrived, and we were able to witness how they came down the hill and jumped into a pool. A very special moment, indeed! The chandelier was clearly seen from the boat as we approached, and the history is interesting. The boat captain and the guide were both diligent in safety and making sure we got to see everything. The boat and the life jackets were clean as well.

Exceptional Value For Money - This tour represented exceptional value for money. The tour was well organised. We got a WhatsApp message the day before the trip. We responded on the day of the trip and a member of staff found us in the village and took us to the trip's location. The captain of the boat took us to the Island with great care - not too fast, not too slow. When we got to the island, the captain diligently positioned the boat so that everyone got a good opportunity to view the wildlife and take plenty of pictures. On return to port, he saw some porpoises. He stopped the boat so that we could all take a good look. I saw other boats pay no attention and rush back to port. We had a great morning out viewing wildlife. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.
