An awesome experience - From the moment we left the port, the energy was amazing. The views of the coast were beautiful, and seeing all those sea lions up close was unforgettable. I was nervous to get in the water at first, but they were so friendly and calm. Totally worth it!

An incredible experience - I went with my family, and we all loved it! The boat was clean, and the guides gave us snacks and water. My kids didn’t swim, but they enjoyed watching the sea lions jump and play in the water. The photos we took are incredible!

It was amazing - We booked this tour for something different, and it was amazing! The sea lions were not scared of us at all , they just swam and played. The water was a bit cold, but the wetsuit helped. Our guide explained everything before the swim and stayed with us in the water.

A great time - We had a great time on this tour. The boat was fast and comfortable, and the views of the islands were amazing. We saw birds, penguins, and hundreds of sea lions. Swimming near them was safe and well-organized. I was nervous at first, but the guide made me feel calm.

A wonderful day - Such a wonderful day on the water! We hopped on the speedboat and headed toward Palomino Islands. Swimming with the sea lions was honestly a highlight of our trip in Lima 😁. It felt wild and natural, not a tourist trap at all!
