Ballestas Islands Boat Tour from Ica

We pick you up at around 6:30 a.m. from your hotel or the bus terminal in Ica and drive to Paracas. At the pier, we board a motorboat for the Ballestas Islands. On the way, look for the Paracas Candelabra on the hillside. At the islands, you may see sea lions, Humboldt penguins and seabirds, depending on conditions.

After the boat trip, we return to the pier and take the road transfer back to Ica. The scheduled drop-off is near the main square.
