This was a once in a lifetime experience! The local agency Tembeta is going above and beyond to make it happen, to see the Humboldt penguins. Christobal and Martin are really taking care of their guests! It was magical to watch the penguins swimming and on the small island. Also all the other wildlife was just amazing to watch. Beautiful place for lunch with a stunning view of the fisher boats and the ocean. Food was delicious! Thank you so much for this outstanding day, we will never forget!

This was a great day out to experience local wildlife. Be careful of the day you book as not all days are allowed for docking at Isla Damas. We were only told this out after we had booked (although found out through a different tour company before booking, so we knew what to expect). It was fairly annoying to wait for over an hour at the dock to see if other "may" show up for them to fill the boat. Not obvious when you have small children to entertain. The included lunch was great.
