💡 Good to know
- The preferred shoulder and cool-dry period for the reserve, oasis and terrestrial desert circuit. Coastal mist or wind can still change boat conditions and visibility.
- The route remains available in the warmer season, but midday heat is stronger and the Ballestas departure still depends on an authorised operator and safe marine conditions.
