• 1Very uncomfortable

  There were 6 passengers, the driver and guide in a low roof van. I was in the very back in the middle seat. I have low back discomfort and this was so uncomfortable we spent 3-4 hrs in the van and most on gravel roads. Couldn’t see out of the windows or take photos The guide speaker didn’t work well so hard to hear from the back The lunch was homemade sandwich

• 5Fun day touring the peninsula

  When I booked this tour, I thought we would be on a bus in a small group. However, this is an individual tour. Our guide, Sergio, picked us up outside the cruise port and we started the day, just the 3 of us. He was an incredible guide and was very knowledgeable about the area and everything we saw in the peninsula - which was breathtaking. I highly recommend this tour if you are in port for just the day.

  One stop had a distant view of Sea Lions. Our guide did not speak English well. The trip was long and a disappointment.

• 5Peninsula Valdez guided by Marcela with Odisea Patagonica

  It is always challenging to organize a shore excursion when passenger on a cruise. On one hand there is the possibility of going with the official cruise-arranged trip with the perspective of being funneled into a comfy AC-equipped bus with tons of people, shuttled to a place and brought back with minimal interaction with locals and little contribution to the local economy. On the other hand, arranging an independent excursion with a local compan, carries on top of the usual quality risk the major risk of timing: a sloppy organizational mistake and the ship leaves without you. I took the chance with Odisea Patagonica because in the few hours that we were docked in Puerto Madryn I wanted to maximize my chances of experiencing the best of Peninsula Valdez, an ecosystem unique in the world, and the trip Odisea Patagonica offered was heading to Punta Norte, its farthest point, famous for orcas observations. I could not have been happier. The organization was a breeze, thanks to Romina who was always quick in replying on WhatsApp, adapting plans as the sea conditions delayed the mooring of the ship and waited for us at the dock. Thanks to the driver who drove safely and efficiently, making the several hour long trip mostly on dirt roads a breeze and bringing us back to the ship with a large safety time margin. And, especially thanks to our amazing guide Marcela. She is not only passionate and knowledgeable, speaking multiple languages. She has such a vast and interesting life experience traveling through the whole of Patagonia, and South America in general that one could spend days on end listening to all her stories. Highly recommended as a guide for anyone who wants to explore these areas, as there is nothing she does not do from guiding land tours, to leading scuba diving trips to be the captain of a sailboat or catamaran through the intricate channels of Tierra del Fuego. Thanks for making a trip of a few hours into such a unique learning experience, Marcela! I’ll be back for sure in Patagonia and look forward to have you show me more of its magic!

  Had a truly fabulous time. Our Tour guide was awesome, Informative, pointed out the different land wildlife. When arrived at various areas, he pointed out the sea life, how to identify the species, the gender of some. Driver great, safe driving and kept us in comfort with air conditioning. Also stopped for us to see the wild animals as we were on route. Fully recommend this tour.

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.
