Just a Great Day - An excellent tour, great, very-full, itinerary of an amazing area - scenic and fascinating and a comfortable vehicle. Our guide Pamela was just fabulous, knowledgeable, efficient and very friendly. Our driver Alonzo was awesome, we hit a complete traffic standstill (due to a major accident) on the highway on the way down from Lima and he managed to maneuver and navigate via side roads to get out of and around the bottleneck. Lima Highlights was very communicative and responsive during and after the booking process, as well as when we had a delay getting back to Lima that threatened us making it back in time for the tour.

Absolutely recommended! - Fantastic opportunity to see some amazing animals up close in their natural environment. Our guide was excellent. We saw sea lions and cute penguins jumping out of the water while getting to the Island. It was a surreal experience seeing all these animals. This is very interesting and worthwhile a boat trip!
The Paracas Reserve worth a visit, too. The landscape is quite impressive. One highlight was the cathedral, but also the red beach was very beautiful.
All in all, we had a great time and definitely recommend it!
