  • You'll go to Punta Tombo, a geographical accident that Magellan's penguin uses as habitat (entrance fee not included). It is located at 3 hours from Puerto Madryn, on the road you will have time to appreciate Patagonian lanscapes. At this stop, you'll have the chance to watch penguins in their own habitat as they scurry and play on the rocks. There, you'll have time to observe how the penguins coexist on the coast with other species, such as Gulls, Skúas, Giant Petrels, Cormorants, Ostreros and Pato Vapor and, given the extension of the area, typical species of the steppe like Guanacos, Choiques, Maras and Grey Foxes. You'll spend approximately an hour and a half at this stop.
  • Puerto Rawson
    Before going back to Puerto Madryn, you will make a stop at the Rawson's Port. If you chose the Toninas watching navigation, you'll embark to observe the Overas Toninas. The Overa Toninas are recognized for their similarity to the dolphins. They are no longer than a meter and a half. Puerto Rawson is one of the few places in the world where they can be observed in their natural habitat. These daring species usually escort ships, playing and showing their skills to the visitors who have the possibility to watch the spectacle. The navigation lasts approximately an hour and a half. The ones who didn't choose the navigation will have some free time to explore the port and why not enjoy a see food table (not included). You will be back to Puerto Madryn around 5 pm.

  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • The stop at the Rawson's Port is subject to favorable weather conditions. If canceled due to poor weather, you will be able to stay longer at Punta Tombo, main stop of this tour and you will be given a full refund of the Toninas navigation in case you payed for this option.
  • Season: From September to Mid-April
  • Please note that lunch will be taken in the car, as we won't have time to stop : the road trip will take approx. 6 hours (round-trip). We suggest you to prepare sandwiches, if not you will still be able to buy food when we stop on the road.
