Palomino Islands Boat Trip

On this cruise around the Palomino Islands, we will sail along the coast of Callao and observe the wildlife of the Peruvian capital, including penguins and seabirds, and swim with sea lions.

Boat Trip Details

We will meet at the Club Canottieri dock in Callao's La Punta Bay. After providing life jackets, we will board the boat and sail towards the Palomino Islands.

Our journey begins with a view of San Lorenzo Island, the largest island in Peru, which hosts a naval base. We will then pass by Frontón Island, where you can see remnants of an old prison, and spot the Cavinzas Islands, a refuge for seabirds like pelicans, blue-footed boobies, and red-legged cormorants. Additionally, we will observe an ecological area inhabited by Peruvian gulls and Humboldt penguins.

The highlight of the tour is the Palomino Islands, home to nearly 8,000 sea lions. We will spend 20-30 minutes swimming with the sea lions before we begin our return to the meeting point, concluding the tour 3 to 4 hours after departure.

Animal Sightings

The Palomino Islands are ideal for viewing sea lions, penguins, and other species. However, animal sightings may vary due to unpredictable factors such as weather and breeding seasons.
