What you can expect

  • Experience the Ballestas Islands with South Americans Secrets, a local tourism operator in Paracas.

    Your adventure begins at Marina Turística, the departure point for your boat trip to the Ballestas Islands.

    Before reaching the islands, we make a scenic stop to admire the famous Candelabra of Paracas, an impressive prehistoric geoglyph carved into the desert peninsula and best viewed from the sea.

    Continue by boat toward the Ballestas Islands, where you can observe an extraordinary variety of marine wildlife. Depending on the season and natural conditions, you may see Humboldt penguins, South American sea lions, cormorants, pelicans and other marine birds.

    Your bilingual English/Spanish guide will provide information throughout the experience and help you discover the wildlife, landscapes and history of the Paracas coast.

    The tour lasts approximately 2 hours, including the boat ride to and around the Ballestas Islands and the return journey.

    For your convenience, you can choose between:

    Meeting Point Option: Make your own way to Marina Turística and meet the South Americans Secrets team before departure.

    Hotel Pickup Option: Add pickup from selected hotels and designated locations in Paracas. If your accommodation is not included in the pickup list, choose the Meeting Point option.

    South Americans Secrets prioritizes a safe and well-organized experience. Life jackets are provided, and a backup boat is available when required for operational purposes.

    After the tour, you return to Marina Turística. If you selected the hotel transfer option, return transportation will be provided according to the selected pickup/drop-off service.
