  • 5A great day from our

    A great day with Clara in Patagonia. We had a great day from our cruise ship to the north shore. We saw llamas, sheep, cows, horses, armadillos, Elephant seals and Sea lions an if course lots of birds. But the best was to catch the ORCAS at play. They hadn’t been see in 10 days. We saw a few of them. The only disappointment was that the picture made us think we would see penguins but we didn’t and they weren’t expecting us to as we would have had to go to a different area. All in all a great day though.

  • 5Fascinating sights!

    It was fascinating to see clusters of sea lions sun bathing at the beach. We were lucky to sight an orca evaluating his environment too 🐋

  • 4Small group tour to Sea Lions and other wildlife

    Clara was very knowledgeable and with all the information she gave us made a long drive to punta north to see the sea lions go by very quickly. And Eddie drove us and at the same time had a good eye to spot wildlife; lamas, all kind of birds even small owls well camouflaged. The total tour was 6,5 hours, the drive was about 325km in total and halfway we got a good lunchbox. Highlight were the Sea Lions.The only thing we missed where the Orcas, but even guide Clara had seen then twice 😀 I do recommend this tour. We had one hour spare before the all aboard time. We were traveling in a small group of 12.

    Clara the guide and Eddie the driver were exceptional. We learned much about the region and saw many animals. We are very happy with the way our limited time here was spent.

About Puerto Madryn

Puerto Madryn is a Patagonian port on a wide, sheltered gulf, and the starting point for whale watching and for penguin and sea lion colonies.

Puerto Madryn faces the calm Golfo Nuevo on the Atlantic coast of Chubut province, a seaside town of broad beaches and a long waterfront promenade. Welsh settlers landed on this shore in 1865, and the valley towns of Gaiman and Trelew to the south still keep that heritage. The town itself is small and relaxed, with diving, sailing and sea views drawing most people outdoors.

Top-ranked sights in Puerto Madryn: Punta Tombo, Playa El Doradillo.
