Step by Step

Discover the marine fauna of Lima with this boat trip of about 2.5 hours to the Palomino Islands . Board a speed boat in groups of about 22 people and together with your professional guide travel around the Guaneras Islands. Enjoy a cruise in the open sea, observe marine animals such as otaries, penguins and guano birds and take the opportunity to swim with the sea lions for a few minutes.

Meet the crew at the Callao Pier or, if you prefer, use the optional pick-up service at a specific point in the city. Cruise at full speed in a modern motorboat and observe the anchorage of yachts, warships and merchant ships as you leave Callao Bay behind.

You will travel towards the Guaneras Islands Nature Reserve and along the way you will pass the sandbank "El Camotal" and the island of San Lorenzo. Hear about the rich pre-Columbian history of the area from your guide as you observe several fishing boats bobbing in the water, as well as colonies of native birds and Humboldt penguins .

Watch these beautiful marine animals from the boat and upon arrival at the Palomino Islands get ready for a nice swim. Put on your wetsuit and life jacket and with the help of your guide jump into the sea to swim with the sea lions in their natural habitat . Snorkel close to them for a couple of minutes and after your swim, hop back on the boat to enjoy some snacks on board .

Let the boat take you back to the harbour and enjoy spectacular views of secluded islets and towering cliffs along the way.

    Our guides did a great job of making sure we kept a safe distance, but also helped us get closer if we wanted one to touch our feet.

    This was a great experience. Everything was timely and fun. We started the trip on a boat and our tour guide gave historical facts about our surroundings.
