Great few hours in Paracas from a cruise ship - Pick up from the cruise ship was easy. Another 2 pax from the ship didn’t show up (rude) so we waited 20 mins. Nice of him to wait for them (they never turned up) but I did worry we’d be late for the boat however all was ok. Van to the office in Paracas and then a quick walk to the boat at the pier. Lots of people (Sunday) so a bit chaotic but it moved quickly. Lifejackets in great condition, Captain/tour guide had a sense of humour. His English was ok BUT he is Peruvian so why should he speak better English? I am not one of THOSE people who think the world should speak English! We saw the candelabra and the sea lions, boobies and other wildlife at Balleatras. Great little trip. Only issue was that the listing for this cruise says that drop off is same location as pick up which is not correct. No issue really as the pier is 1 block from the local shuttle bus back to the ship. Just be aware of this though. Great few hours

2 amazing hours watching wildlife - I had a fantastic time on the 2-hour Ballestas Islands boat tour. We saw a variety of wildlife and our guide was incredibly friendly. Be sure to dress warmly, as it can get chilly on the water.
