It was amazing - We booked this tour for something different, and it was amazing! The sea lions were not scared of us at all , they just swam and played. The water was a bit cold, but the wetsuit helped. Our guide explained everything before the swim and stayed with us in the water.

A great time - We had a great time on this tour. The boat was fast and comfortable, and the views of the islands were amazing. We saw birds, penguins, and hundreds of sea lions. Swimming near them was safe and well-organized. I was nervous at first, but the guide made me feel calm.

A memorable experience - Palomino Islands were a hidden gem near Lima. The guides were helpful and made sure everyone was comfortable in the water. Swimming alongside sea lions in their natural habitat was something I’ll always remember!

A wonderful day - Such a wonderful day on the water! We hopped on the speedboat and headed toward Palomino Islands. Swimming with the sea lions was honestly a highlight of our trip in Lima 😁. It felt wild and natural, not a tourist trap at all!

What a great experience - Omg what an experience!! 🦭🤩 I swam with sea lions, people!! They were so funny ,like dogs in the water! The speedboat ride itself was already a blast, but swimming with these curious animals took it to another level. My friends were freaking out in the best way. If you like something not boring, do this.

A fun day - We started from Callao port, and after a smooth ride, we reached the Palomino Islands. The sea lions were everywhere! You get a wetsuit and life jacket if you want to swim. The water was cold but manageable. It’s safe, fun, and very different from typical Lima activities.

Nature at its finest. - Floating in the ocean, surrounded by the sounds of barking sea lions and the soft splash of waves… it felt like a dream. These animals are not afraid , they come close, look at you with curiosity, and even spin around in the water. There’s a moment of connection that’s hard to describe.
