Penguins, sea lions, crabs, pelicans, and the Candelabra all in a scenic boat ride
Hollie_G, Apr 2024
The boat you ride on is a covered speed boat. The ride was pleasant although I would recommend wearing sunscreen. We saw the candelabra, pelicans, just 3 humbolt penguins, many cute baby sea lions, crabs, vultures, and the island with all of its arches and caves. I would recommend that you sit on the left side facing the front since that is the side with most of the views. They did turn the boat around so both sides could see but I wished I had been on the opposite side. Many of my photos have heads in them. I booked this as a cruise ship shore excursion and we docked in General San Martin. The ship provided a free shuttle into the town of Paracas which is where the boat tour began. Due to some miscommunication on the ticket we missed the tour shuttle. It said to meet at 9 on the pier and I thought that meant the cruise pier but they said that was the boat pier in Paracas.They still made it work so that was fine but I think it would have been cheaper to just book a ticket from the dock. Definately worth the tour however it is booked. Such a fun day!
Boat sightseeing.

we saw penguins and other wide life.
We also saw the Candelabra. It is important to get a seat in the middle or back of the boat. I you are forward in the boat you need to stand to see outside of the boat.
