Paracas: Ballestas Islands Boat Tour with Guide

Discover the Ballestas Islands on a boat tour from Paracas. See sea lions, penguins, and thousands of seabirds, and learn about the history and biodiversity of the islands.
Begin your adventure in Paracas. Head to the bustling port and meet your bilingual guide, your companion for the next few hours. Before boarding, receive some quick tips to make the most of your trip.

Once on board your eco-friendly speedboat, sail towards the mysterious Paracas Bay. Make your first stop at the legendary Candelabro de Paracas, a 120-meter geoglyph carved into the desert hillside. Its origins are a complete mystery: some say it was pirates, others speak of ancient cultures, and yes, there are even crazy theories about aliens.

Then, head to the real stars of Paracas: the Ballestas Islands, often called the "Peruvian Galapagos." Here, wildlife takes center stage. Watch sea lions relaxing on the rocks, penguins waddling as if they’re late for a meeting, and thousands of seabirds flying overhead: guanays, boobies, pelicans, gulls, and more. Your guide will share the best stories about the islands, their history, and why they are so important for biodiversity in this part of the world.

At the end of the tour, enjoy the return trip to the port with the salty breeze on your face and unbeatable coastal views around you. It’s the perfect time to snap those last photos for your feed. When you arrive at the dock, leave with a memory card full of photos, lungs full of sea air, and an unforgettable adventure checked off your list.

After your exciting tour of the Ballestas Islands, continue with a pleasant walk through the charming town of Paracas, a place full of history, tradition, and natural beauty. During this visit, your guide will provide a detailed explanation of the district’s origins, its cultural significance, and its relationship with the Paracas National Reserve.
