Ballestas Islands Morning Boat Tour from the Marina
From €15 per person
See availability →A Ballestas Islands morning boat tour from the Paracas marina: the Candelabro geoglyph, sea lions, Humboldt penguins and colourful seabirds, with a bilingual guide.
The Ballestas Islands morning boat tour leaves the marina in Paracas and heads out onto open water for a two-hour trip. The first sight is El Candelabro, an ancient figure drawn on the hillside of the Paracas Peninsula, looking over Pisco Bay. Your guide, who speaks English and Spanish, tells the story of the figure as it comes into view.
The boat then sails on to the islands, a cluster of islets that make up a protected natural area, sheltering endangered animals and birds. Humboldt penguins, sea lions and flocks of colourful birds sit on the rock formations, and you watch them from the boat as it circles the islands. Nobody may step onto the land, which leaves plenty of time to look from the water.
