Lima’s Pacific coast presents excellent kayaking and canoeing opportunities.
Small-group tours, typically lasting 2-3 hours, are the smartest way to explore these waters. We especially like the morning paddle tours from Miraflores – the water’s calmer and you’ll often spot sea lions and local birds.
For beginners, the guided tours in La Punta offer steady waters and include all necessary equipment. These water adventures work well for both fitness enthusiasts and casual paddlers.
