Must do in Lima (unless seasick) - The tour is spectacular and one of the best things in Lima (including dining at Central). The thousands of sea lions are magnificent and it’s also wonderful to see the Humboldt penguins. The landscape is beautiful too. The boat ride is bumpy—a lot of fun if you are not seasick and maybe some pain if you are. The guides are very nice and friendly.

Amazing. - The truth is that this excursion was something impressive, super friendly Jerson super attentive. Both me and my partner loved the experience, we felt safe at all times and above all excited to be able to swim with sea lions in their natural habitat. Super, I recommend the experience and also super recommend that you choose as Guide Jerson for his kindness, closeness and excellent treatment. I would repeat without hesitation 💯

Such a fun experience! - Seeing the sea lions, penguins and other birds was the best part. The ride itself was pretty smooth. My friend gets motion sickness pretty easy and she was fine! The driver and tour guide were kind and informative! Exactly as advertised

The sea lions barking and... - The sea lions barking and some showing interest and swimming near were the highlights. Nice guides. It would have been great to gather on shore after to formally end as we were a little uncertain where to go and what to do. Got yelled crude names by passing bus passenger. Eventually found taxi home using cabify.

amazing experience - 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.

Regular experience - Regular experience, the view was good, the animals were very pretty, but the time to swim was very short and the boat driver was not friendly, he rushed people to jump into the water.
