    Islas Ballestas

    Your adventure begins with a direct pick-up inside the cruise terminal, just metres from your ship. No shuttle, no taxis. We then take you comfortably in our own vehicles to the Paracas pier. From there, enjoy a two-hour boat tour of the Ballestas Islands, with a scenic pass by the mysterious Candelabra geoglyph, etched into the coastal hillside. The islands are a protected nature reserve, home to sea lions, Humboldt penguins and dozens of seabird species. As this is a natural ecosystem, sightings may vary and are beyond our control. Entrance fees are included. Afterwards, enjoy some free time in Paracas. Then, as a golden finish, we make a special bonus stop on the way back, just before reaching the port, and return you directly to your ship. We offer three departure times, adjusted to your ship’s schedule. Please always be at the meeting point 30 minutes before pick-up. Book with confidence: your comfort, safety and timely return are our top priorities.

    2 hours • Admission ticket free

Additional info

  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • A note about port access: You may hear an announcement on board that local operators and taxis are not permitted to enter the port, as it is a working container terminal. This is true for independent operators and taxis. We are an official agency, fully licensed and authorised to operate inside the port and collect our guests directly at the terminal. Just like the ship’s own tour operator, we complete all the necessary port procedures in advance, so your pick-up and return are fully arranged and guaranteed. Our team will be waiting for you inside the terminal, a few metres from the ship’s hangar. Simply look for our JD Adventure logo when you step off the ship. If you have any questions before your tour, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
  • In the photos you will see our company logo and the short distance from the ship to where we will be waiting for you. There is no shuttle: we meet you right at the port, so you will find us easily as soon as you step off the ship.
  • All communication is handled via WhatsApp. Three to four days before your arrival, we will message you with your guide’s details and your assigned bus and group number. Please provide a valid mobile or WhatsApp number when booking, so we can make your experience as smooth as possible. We do not check emails often, so WhatsApp is the best way to reach us. If you do not have it, we recommend installing it; otherwise, simply send us a mobile number and we will call you.
