Boat navigation
Not included: Tips and hotel accommodations in Lima
Your marine-life tour begins with an early pickup from your hotel in Lima. After a 1.5-hour drive, we arrive at the bay of Pucusana, where the boat will be ready for departure. From the moment we leave the dock, you’ll enjoy a total of 5 hours on the water. During the trip, we head out to Pachacamac Island, a natural area known for its rich marine life. Here, you’ll be able to observe sea lions, coastal birds, and several local species up close, with plenty of time for photos and observation.
As we make our way back, we follow the coastline, offering a different perspective of the area and additional opportunities to spot wildlife. Once we return to the dock, we drive back to Lima and drop you off at your hotel, closing out a smooth and well-paced day on the water.
