From €69 per person
See availability →Swimming with sea lions at the Palomino Islands is a boat trip from Callao: you sail past San Lorenzo Island, see penguins and birds, then slip into the water beside a sea lion colony.
Swimming with sea lions at the Palomino Islands starts with a crew-led boat ride out of Callao. The route crosses the open sea above the underwater area known as El Camotal and passes San Lorenzo Island, with the guide speaking English and Spanish on board.
The farthest stop is Palomino Island, home to a large colony of sea lions. Dressed in a neoprene suit and a life vest, you can swim freely alongside these big animals in their natural habitat. Humboldt penguins and many other birds are also part of the scenery.
On the way back the boat follows cliffs and islets with striking shapes, and there is a light snack on board with water or juice. Personal accident insurance on board is included.
