When we arrived they told us that sea conditions would not allow us to visit the islands we paid to see. They took us to another island instead. It was nice but not what we paid for. While we saw the candelabra and good birds we could not get out of the boat or see a variety. They should refund some of the money if the tour cannot deliver what it promised.
We are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify that the sea conditions and the closure of the Ballestas Islands due to high waves were circumstances beyond our control. This decision was made by the Port Authority, whose priority is the safety of all passengers. Before the tour began, we informed you that the Ballestas Islands were closed because of the rough sea conditions and offered the alternative tour to White Island instead. You accepted this alternative voluntarily, without any obligation. We would also like to clarify that landing on the islands is strictly prohibited, both at the Ballestas Islands and at White Island. The excursion is designed as a boat tour for observing the wildlife, the Candelabra geoglyph, and taking photographs while remaining on board, as both areas are protected natural reserves. We regret any inconvenience caused by the weather and sea conditions, but these are circumstances entirely beyond our control. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us provide clearer information to future travelers.

A very good experience, along with the agency's excellent service came an unforgettable tour, with a totally different experience, from the boat trip to the quad bike tour. I hope to return to this city someday and have this experience again.
It was an excellent experience, brought me more about Peruvian culture, everything was amazing and the service of high quality.
An incredible experience, from the service to the tours, which were beautiful and lots of fun. Unique experience!!!!!
The boat trip was great, the guide was very good, she explained everything, we saw a lot of things. Then they had us waiting for an hour for the bus, which was very old, the guide was very good. What was left was going to Lagunillas to eat, being 10 minutes from the town, we only ate and they didn't explain anything to us.
