Q: What should I bring to protect myself from the cold water?

Bring a thick wetsuit (usually provided), thermal gloves, a cap, and a rash guard to combat the chilly Humboldt Current.

Q: How much motion sickness should I expect on the boat ride?

The ride from Callao can be choppy. Take motion sickness medication 30 minutes before boarding if you are prone to seasickness.

Q: Is swimming with sea lions safe for beginners?

Yes, with a guide. However, maintain a respectful distance and avoid sudden movements to ensure both your safety and the animals'.

Q: What is the best time of day to start the tour?

Early morning tours are best to avoid heavy sea fog and to see the sea lions most active before the midday sun.

Q: Are there facilities available on the Palomino Islands?

No, the islands are protected reserves. There are no bathrooms or shops; all facilities are available back at the pier in Callao.

Q: What happens if the sea conditions are too rough for the tour?

Tours are subject to weather. If canceled due to high waves, most operators offer a full refund or a rescheduled date.
