Customer Reviews
Amazing experience with them. Very responsive on Whatsapp. We were able to reserve through Whatsapp and then pay on the day of the tour. The pier is closeby so you are picked from your hotel in a car and brought to the office (2 min drive), then you walk to the pier. The tour lasted an hour or so and we saw penguins and sealions and lots of birds. The rock formation and the colonies are amazing! Carlos also gave us a small souvenier at the end!! He also checked-in to see how the tour was going. Amazing service and tour worth taking with them!
Good company. Only 40 soles for adults and 20 for kids. Have to pay an additional 12 for adults and 8 for kids for the entrance to the reserve. Picked up at our hotel and walked us over to the entrance. There was a bathroom at the location to go before boarding the boat.
It is amazing, we could see lots of animals. The ride to the Islas is around 30 min and it is really worth it
