Ballestas Islands Speedboat Tour and Candelabra Views
From €13 per person
See availability →A Ballestas Islands speedboat tour of about two hours with a bilingual guide: penguins, sea lions, guano birds, the Candelabra geoglyph and sometimes dolphins.
The Ballestas Islands speedboat tour is a shared two-hour trip for anyone who wants the marine wildlife of Paracas in a short, simple outing. You meet at the operator's office, where the team gives a brief orientation, and then head to a dock close by, where a modern speedboat is waiting.
A professional bilingual guide leads the group in English and Spanish as the boat crosses the Pacific waters. On the water you can look out for sea lions, Humboldt penguins, Peruvian boobies, other guano birds and, on occasion, dolphins. You also get close views of the Candelabra's enormous outline on the Paracas Peninsula, and pass coastal rock formations.
- Ballestas Islands, home to the marine life
- Candelabra geoglyph, close views from the boat
- Boat trip and guide included
There are three departures a day, and they depend on weather, because the sea and wind conditions decide whether the boats can sail. Entry tickets, food, drinks and transfers to and from your hotel are not included. The tour is not suitable for pregnant women or babies under one year.
