DETAILED DESCRIPTION

We will meet at 09:45 AM at El Nakary Restaurant, Calle La Mar 229 Callao - Front of Real Felipe where we'll depart to the islands. During the first part of the tour you will see yachts, war ships and merchant ships. Then we will pass by "El Camotal" and Isla San Lorenzo, where you will see fishermen’s boats at sea, and also dung birds and Humboldt penguins.

After 1 hour and 30 minutes, we will arrive at the Palomino Islands, where there is a large colony of sea lions. Here you will see some of them swimming, jumping and diving below the boat. Wearing a wetsuit, you can jump into the water with life vests and swim with them. Sometimes the younger ones come up and touch us out of curiosity, but the older ones usually keep a 5-metre distance from us. They live in comfort because there are no predators. Being in the water in such close proximity to the colony is an amazing experience for anyone who likes nature and wildlife.

At 12:30 pm we’ll start the return trip to the dock; the boat will pass by amazing cliffs and islets where you will see many bird colonies. Then, we will have a snack.

At 1:00 pm we will arrive at the dock.
