Our Ballestas Islands tour starts with pick-up directly at San Martín Port, just metres from your ship. From there, we’ll transfer you to the tourist pier in Paracas for the boat tour to the Ballestas Islands, including a view of the famous Candelabro geoglyph. During the boat ride, you'll observe incredible wildlife such as sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and a variety of seabirds. Please note this is a natural reserve, and wildlife sightings are not controlled or guaranteed. Before boarding the boat, there is a mandatory tourist entrance fee of $7 USD per person. After the boat tour, we’ll take a short 40-minute break for restrooms and refreshments.
The Paracas National Reserve land tour lasts approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes and begins after a short break following the Ballestas Islands tour. We’ll explore the most iconic sites of the reserve, including ancient marine fossils, the dramatic Supay viewpoint, the remains of the famous Cathedral rock formation, the panoramic Isthmus of the Peninsula, and the stunning Red and Yumaque beaches. You’ll also have the option to visit the Paracas museum (entrance not included). This tour involves some light walking, so please inform us in advance of any physical limitations. We guarantee a timely and stress-free return to San Martín Port.
