Super fun tour - Super fun tour along the ballestas islands and the paracas national reserve. We have seen sea lions and penguins on the water. And then we went by bus along several stops in the paracas national reserve. We had a very nice tourguide through the national park called Barbara. She knew a lot about the area! Definitely recommended to To do!

A beautiful day in Paracas - A magnificent day between the Balesta Islands and the Paracas Reserve, two places of great diversity. Our various experienced guides accompanied us throughout our day. The rhythm is perfect to make the most of these majestic places

Ballestas yes, nature reserve no - The ballestas tour is great but i wouldn't bother with the nature reserve. Some cool views, but you just get driver to some average miradors before stopping for lunch. Not worth the time

Scam!! - This agency is not organized. I was picked up at the hotel by a staff member, only to introduce myself after 20 m to a staff member who bought 2 tickets with me and queued up at the port after 5 min. On the boat tour no guide was responsible for nothing and after 2.5 h the boat tour was over and I back at the port. I thought the tour lasted 7h?! You don't need an agency for a tour like this, you can organize it yourself. Don't fall for this scam!

Regrettable Tour - I normally don’t leave bad reviews, but in this case, I must. The trip was poorly organised, we paid €40 each online when booking which said it included entry for the boat and the national reserve. However when we arrived they made us pay extra for entry tickets. We later were told it was a mistake and our original payment included the access tickets. However we were told we would not get a refund. When the boat trip ended we were left at the dock with no guide waiting for us. We had to contact the company in order to figure out where to go next and the address they provided us with was unclear. The trip was poorly organised, it was such a shame. The positive aspect of this trip was that the tour guide for the national reserve was lovely, she was very helpful and enthusiastic. I would not recommend booking this tour.
