Emotion Tour Ballestas Islands Seabird Tour

The Ballestas Islands, often called the "Peruvian Galápagos," are a series of rocky islets off Paracas that host some of the largest concentrations of Humboldt Current seabirds and marine life on the planet. Emotion Tour Peru runs daily guided speedboat excursions from the Paracas pier to the islands, where towering cliffs are draped with colonies of Guanay Cormorant, Peruvian Booby, and Peruvian Pelican, while Humboldt Penguins nest in the rock crevices and South American Sea Lions haul out on the ledges. The tour also passes the famous Candelabro geoglyph carved into the coastal hillside, and the Inca Tern and Peruvian Tern are reliably seen throughout the two-hour circuit.
