Take this tour to learn more about Paracas! - We were pleased with this operator. The speaker offered narration in both English and Spanish and was easy to understand in both languages. The tour operator explained each location we visited, answered questions from the audience, and provided multiple opportunities for pictures. I’d recommend bringing sunblock, a hat, and water since Paracas is typically very sunny and hot. We recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the Paracas Peninsula and its natural beauty and history.

Enjoyable - The trip to Ballestas Islands was amazing and well worth it. Overall the experience was like two separate trips and to be honest, the Paracas National Reserve was also included free on Peru Hop. Had I understood this I would only have booked the Islands.

Great tour, wish we had more time at Ballestas - This is actually 2 tours one after the other - you take either the boat tour first, then 1 hour free in town approx., and then you go on a bus with another group. The bus thing is really nice and you get to see the reserve and maybe bathe, and the boat tour is nice too, but too short. You see dolphins and maybe whales on the way, but you don't have time to stop. Wish it was a bit longer.
