Great tour with many wildlife sightings.
We saw sea lions, birds, penguins and beautiful scenery. Staff was wonderful

I can not fault this trip at all. We were met literally at the bottom of our cruise ship gang way, coach was air condition. The boat ride itself on the Bertioni 11 was amazing the captain went out of his way turning boat round where he could so both sides got a great view, also spotting a whale blow hole racing off course so that we got a view of a whale! Once back there was time for a wonder before returning. We were ready to leave bit early so Jose escorted us the short walk to where the cruise ship shuttle bus. The whole trip definitely one of the highlights of our holiday and can not recommend highly enough.

Awesome boat ride to beautiful Ballestas islands, saw plenty of penguins, sea lions, some dolphins, pelicans and a lot of cormorants.
Unfortunately, the pick up wasn’t well organized. Nobody met us at the port gates, we had to find transportation to a meeting point ourselves and pay for it separately. Once we got there, we couldn’t find the company as there were plenty of other tour operators. After finally finding our tour - everything was fine.
