Peninsula Valdes Tour From Puerto Madryn With Hotel Pickup
Discover the wild landscapes and unique wildlife of the Peninsula Valdes on a stress-free full-day tour from Puerto Madryn, including hotel pickup and an optional whale-watching experience. Learn about Patagonia’s native flora and fauna from your expert naturalist guide as you heighten your chance of spotting elephant seals, penguins, and sea lions along the coast. Keep your camera handy and look out for guanacos, armadillos, maras, and skunks as you drive through the UNESCO-listed national park.
Highlights
- ✓Go beyond the guidebooks with facts and insight from your guide
- ✓Observe local fauna and flora including penguins and sea lions
- ✓Check off plenty of the area’s highlights in just one tour
- ✓Hotel pickup and drop-off are included so you don't need to find a meeting point
What you'll see & do
- ✓The first stop is the interpretive center Carlos Ameghino Isthmus, where you'll learn about the flora, fauna and geology of the peninsula. Also, you'll enjoy the panoramic lookout point of Golfo Nuevo, San Jose and the Island of Birds. Don't forget to bring your camera for unforgettable photo opportunities!
- ✓Once in the town of Puerto Piramides, the ones who chose the whale watching navigation will get on the boat. You will be guided by our specialized and bilingual personnel, who will provide you with more information about the exclusive ecosystems of the coast and the sea, while you sail to meet the whales. Once you meet them, magic will start. The boat will stop the engines and silence will begin to reign, interrupted only by the sounds of the sea and the occasional bird. In this scenario, the whales will appear next to the boat and you will manage to live together in harmony in the same space for as long as they decide. It will be a unique moment where, if you are lucky, you will be able to see them very close.
- ✓The time has come to explore the famous Peninsula Valdes. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, the peninsula is renowned for its rich marine life and diverse terrestrial ecosystems. On the road, look out for some of the wild Argentinean land animals, including guanacos, rheas, foxes, maras (Patagonian hare), armadillos, and skunks.
- ✓Depending on the season, weather and the tides, you'll be visiting the following places in a different order or combined with other stops: Caleta Valdes, Punta Norte and Punta Cantor to observe elephant seals, penguins and sea lions. At sunset, you'll arrive back at Puerto Madryn and conclude the tour.
