Before you book
- Ballestas Islands
- The boats to the islands leave Paracas at 07:30 and 10:00. From a 07:00 pick-up in Lima we arrive after the last one, so the islands are not part of this day. Message us before booking if they matter to you.
- Landing
- Boats do not land on the Ballestas Islands; they go close for the wildlife.
- Bring
- Sun cream, a hat and a wind jacket. The reserve is windy in the afternoon.
- Start time
- Starts at 07:00, every day. Every tour is customisable: a different start time, extra stops, more time where you like it, or a longer day. Tell us when you book.
- Language
- Guided in English. Other languages on request, if we have notice.
- Cancellation
- Free up to 24 hours before, refunded in full.
