Excellent Quality
Overview
Our Ballestas Islands tour is designed for cruise passengers who want a smooth, worry-free day ashore. We are an official, fully licensed operator and pioneers in cruise-ship excursions at this port, offering competitive prices without compromising on quality. We pick you up directly at the ship, inside San Martín Port, with our own modern, comfortable buses. There is no shuttle to Paracas and no meeting point to find. Departure times are flexible and adapted to your ship’s arrival, so you can relax and enjoy the experience. You will sail by speedboat to the Ballestas Islands to see sea lions, Humboldt penguins, dolphins and countless seabirds, and pass the mysterious Candelabra geoglyph carved into the hillside. Our experienced, friendly guides bring the visit to life, and we coordinate everything with you by WhatsApp. Your return to the ship is guaranteed.

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.
