Very enjoyable 2hour boat trip to the Ballestas Islands with good commentary. Saw birds, sea lions & other aquatic life. Depending on wind/waves it's best to sit near the front of the boat, those at the back got wet.

Really enjoyed the tour of Ballestas Islands. It was very interesting and the our guide Ricardo was awesome - he was very friendly, provided a lot of great information, and offered to take any pictures you wanted. We saw a dolphin a few minutes into our trip before even leaving the harbour. We then saw sea lions, star fish, penguins, and so many birds! It was a really neat tour, and the right amount of time. Would recommend!Tolle Bootsfahrt mit Ricardo und dem Kapitän. Kurzweilige Erläuterungen auf Englisch bei angenehmer Bootsfahrt. Seelöwen, Pinguine, Pelikane, etc. alles dabei. Gerne wieder. (Isla Ballestas konnte wegen rauer See nicht angefahren werden. Dennoch eine Reise wert.)
