Nice tour with good guide - The tour was interesting and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We went in June and didn’t see too many animals. But it was still a good experience.

A must do in Paracas - Absolute worth doing this tour. Our guide was really good. Wish they would have speakers further backnin the boat as well. Super interesting to see this mini Galapalos Islands. The boat is safe and in a good condition. The skipper was really good to and maneuvered us close to the rocks but not too close. All over a great experience.

Eduardo is dope! - Eduardo was an awesome guide. He answered every question we had and provided a lot of colorful detail. When he saw I had a giant camera lens for wildlife he helped me find the best seat on the boat so I wasn’t smacking anyone in the head. He referred to me by my first name throughout the trip and helped me get some great photos. Highly recommend!
