Explore the breathtaking Ballestas Islands by boat.
Enjoy great photo opportunities of Peru’s incredible wildlife in the islands, which are often compared the Galápagos.
We hope to spot seals, sea lions and penguins as they often play around our boat.
Wildlife Up Close
This cluster of small islands is nicknamed “the Peruvian Galápagos” because of its abundant marine life. You may see a wide variety of wildlife, including seals, sea lions and Humboldt penguins, and get close enough to capture stunning photos from the boat. We also hope to spot seabirds like the red-billed Inca tern, the Peruvian booby and the Peruvian pelican, who live here in great numbers.
This will be memorable, so bring that camera!
