Half day – Pucusana wildlife kayak tour

Pucusana half day

Our half-day kayak tour to Pucusana offers abundant marine life, and beautiful scenery. Being located just an hour drive away south of Lima, this 3 hour kayak adventure fits even in the tightest travel schedule. By kayaking around the small island off the fishing port you will be amazed about the wildlife:

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 even 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 encounter the local bottlenose dolphins or see one of the endangered Humboldt penguins, as well as 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.

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!
