Get the real contact with Perus marine wildlife. Starting from Pucusana port by boat we will drag our kayaks to the southern end of Chilca beach about 10 miles away. There we start kayaking slowly back to port while looking for the local bottlenose dolphin group. Although in nature there is never a guarantee we have more than an 80 % chance to encounter the 30 strong dolphin pod. You will be amazed having the dolphins accompanying your kayak side by side while paddling along the beach.

Come and experience the spectacular landscape of Pucusanas coastline: long unpopulated beaches and mighty cliffs with seabird colonies glued onto the steep walls. South American sea lions will rest just a few meters away from you on the rocks or pop up aside your kayak. During our bird-feeding activity dozens of the famously beautiful and endemic Inca terns will hover over your kayak while catching their bits of fish in flight. The endemic band-tailed gull will land on your kayak to get her fish and the pelicans will come paddling up-close. You can observe all three Peruvian cormorant species, a number of other seagull species, the endemic Peruvian sea side cynclodes, the blackish oystercatcher and a number of other marine and shore-bird species – we listed more than 30 bird species in the port area. With a little bit of luck you will see one of the endangered Humboldt penguins, as well as the endangered Peruvian diving petrel.

The waters around Pucusana are challenging enough for kayakers to come away with a sense of accomplishment yet plentiful enough to keep you exploring the vast array of wildlife that inhabit this area. On this tour the breaking waves are too high to get on the beach. For our safety and our paddle breaks the boat will wait for us at half the distance back to port and will be in permanent communication with the group.

No previous sea kayaking experience is required: We begin each of our sea kayak tours with a thorough safety/kayak lesson to familiarize you with your equipment and adequately prepare you for your adventure. The lesson includes paddling technique, sea kayaking safety, familiarization with our safety gear and providing other helpful and necessary skills for our kayak tour.

Our excellent knowledgeable and friendly naturalist kayak guides: We strongly believe that an outstanding guide can make the difference between a good trip and a fabulous kayak vacation. We choose our guides carefully. Our guides are skilled, friendly, and knowledgeable, they have a positive attitude and are passionate teachers but most importantly, they love what they do.

Small personal groups: Providing an excellent kayak trip involves a combination of many factors. One key aspect is the group size. A smaller group is safer on and off the water, allows for more interactions between the guide(s) and guests as well as gives our guests a chance to get to know each other. We adjust and modify each trip to the individual desires and interests of the group.

Our kayaking tour is a special and memorable activity

that will surely be the highlight of your vacation!
