Highlighted reviews from other travelers
This was one of the best experiences of my life. The whole trip was well thought out and our guide was amazing and telling us about the scenery from the boat. Once we got in the water with the sea lions he made sure we all had plenty of time to interact and experience them up close. It was absolutely amazing. I would recommend it to anyone going to Lima.
Great experience! I appreciate that this agency contacted me the next day after booking and also a day before. That made me sure this tour will happen as I had a bad experience with another company earlier which cancelled everything at very short notice. Everything was good, the only thing - we arrived even a bit earlier than the established time as we’re responsible and punctual and had to wait on a shore for other participants and the guide.
