Are there age or health restrictions?
The tour is suitable for children aged 3 and above and for adults without severe mobility issues. It requires basic mobility for boarding and swimming but is not physically demanding.
What marine animals can I see?
In addition to hundreds of sea lions, you may see Humboldt penguins, guano birds, pelicans, boobies, and gulls. The Cavinzas Islands are especially rich in marine life.
Do I need to know how to swim?
Tell the crew about your swimming ability before deciding to enter the water. Follow their requirements and instructions; you may remain on the boat. A wetsuit is not a substitute for swimming ability or crew-approved safety equipment.
What if the weather is cold or rainy?
The tour operates year-round, and Lima’s coastal weather is mild. We recommend wearing swimwear under a light jacket. In case of rough seas, the operator may reschedule for safety reasons.
Can I take photos or videos?
Yes. You may bring your camera or phone, though we recommend using a waterproof device or protective case if you plan to enter the water. The wildlife and scenery are perfect for photography.
Do I need to book in advance?
Book ahead so the team can confirm space for your preferred departure. Daily departures are advertised with a minimum of 2 travelers; sailing remains subject to conditions.
