Definitely an Experience
Ricardo was the guide for our boat and not only was he funny, he was very engaging. The waters were a bit rough and he made sure to check on everyone. Swimming with the sea lions was an experience in itself but be prepared, the smell omitting from the island is horrendous.

sea lions & cold plunge, too
So fun!! Beautiful day! The smell is quite bad when near the sea lions. Wouldn’t make plans afterwards if getting in the water. Will want to shower.

Better than Paracas.
Better than Paracas. I was initially hesistant to attend this tour because i thought "swimming with the sea lions" might be invasive, but in fact it was the opposite. It was actually the sea lions, who left their island to come swim with us! They were very curious, but never touched us. I'd say i stared a sea lion in the face from 6 feet away. Once in a lifetime experience. And vista tours was phenomenal with picking me up, dropping me off, and all of the tour guides on the boat were great too. Isla palomino is a must see if youre in lima. And the penguins!
