Amazing experince. Towels must be included and not for sales and the diving suits should be for all sizes, including children. But still a unique adventure.

What a wonderful and unforgettable adventure! We saw birds, penguins, and of course sea lions! Man, did we see sea lions! The water was cold but not worth skipping. The meeting place, a cafe, felt completely safe and we were not bothered by the guano smell while on the water. This was an amazing experience, and I’m glad we got to share it as a family. Thanks to our guide, Julio, for everything!!

We are all very well traveled and have been on a lot of excursions, this was easily one of the top ones we have ever been on. The tour guide Diego was amazing and took very good care of us. The experience with the wild life, especially the sea lions was one of the very best I have ever had‼️ If you are in Lima, this tour is a MUST‼️‼️‼️

It is impossible to say how many emotions the tour with the sea lions caused, it was so sensitive, interesting and funny to swim near sea lions babies 👍👍👍

It was the best trip of my life! As a life-long seal enthusiast I could not be happier to swim with them. What is extremely important is that the excursion was ethical in its every aspect - no one fed the seals and we were warned not to pet them or come too close. I believe that the price was reasonable and that it made every side respect the other.

This was a fabulous trip! Well organized and very safe! Swimming with the sea lions was just magical and we won't forget it! Would highly recommend anyone to go on this tour. We booked this rather than doing the cruise ship option, so great value for money!! If you do decide to do this double check the shuttle service from the cruise ship first, we had to go into town as you weren't allowed to get off at the gates, and no taxis or Ubers could enter the port, we then had to come all the way back! We nearly missed the tour as this took 1 1/2 hours even though it was only 5 mins down the road.

Captain and tour guide were really nice and gave clear instructions. Water is really cold even during summer so be prepared. Take your own towels and a hoodie for the way back.

This was amazing! Too see the sea lions so close up and be in the water close to them!😍 Noice and smell from them was a surprise, consider yourself warned😜 Drinks before and snacks after was included and much appreciated!

We chose this adventure because it was affordable and offered the opportunity to see penguins and swim with sea lions. It absolutely did not disappoint! I highly recommend it, but there are a few notes worth mentioning. The tour starts in Callao, where cruise ships dock. We thought that meant we would be able to go straight from the ship to the tour, but that's not the case. Due to port rules, you can't go from the ship into Callao. The bus will take you to Lima, but you can't get off in Callao. Callao is a rough place. Likewise, you can't go back to the ship except by taking the shuttle bus. We took the cruise shuttle to Lima, took an Uber to Callao (about $8), then took a taxi back to Lima and shuttle to the ship. It can also be tricky to find an Uber or taxi that's willing to drive you between the two cities. Be sure to give yourself some time. The address from the tour company takes you to a corner cafe. Our tour guide met us at the car and asked if we were there for the Palomino Island tour. The boat ride was pleasant and the tour guide gave us lots of information about the sea birds and islands we passed. The first two islands had an interesting history, with a prison on one and a presidential home and Navy base on the other. After that, we passed an island with many birds, including a few Humboldt penguins. Don't expect a huge flock of penguins, but there are several. The big attraction was the island covered with sea lions. Our guide gave us tips on how to behave in the water. They had a good range of wetsuit sizes, including one to fit my *healthy* American-sized husband. These are shorty wetsuits, so be prepared for COLD water. That first plunge took my breath away, but I did acclimate to the water within a minute or so. We stayed in the water for about 15 minutes and I never felt the urge to get out of the water early. Sea lions did swim around us and checked us out, but I don't believe any of them actually touched the swimmers. I wish I had my waterproof camera, though, since the sea lions did come within a foot or two of me. Overall, it was an exciting, memorable experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

So much fun. Hilarious and felt really looked after by the guides, Julio was so passionate and caring. Thanks a lot! Highly recommend

One of the coolest experiences on my life and the staff was super professional and kind. Worth every penny. Highly recommend . There are no words to describe the special experience we had with nature from this tour. Gracias a todos

Excellent adventure - one to remember for a very long time. Well organised. Rodrigo is an absolute star. Gives you great insights into Lima and is funny, thorough with safety procedures and a good host. Took memorable photos and videos for us on our GoPro - certainly goes out of his way. Glad that we signed up with these folks.

This was such a nice and exciting experience despite the low temperatures. Rodrigo, our guide, was amazing and jumped into the 16degree water with us so we could get closer to the sea lions. Definitely worth it! Thank you, Rodrigo!

The water was beautiful as we sailed out to the rocks where the sea lions live. Some people jumped in and swam near the sea lions with the guide’s help.

The activity was very fun, entertaining and educationnal as well. The guide was quite easy going and would make us feel safe and confortable. Being that close to the sea lions is something special even if the water is cold (after 2-3 minutes your body will acclimate to the temperature of the water). We recommend 100% as this was one of our best experience in Peru! Feel free to book a tour with them with your friends or family you will enjoy it very much.
