Day 1 Puerto Madryn
We will start our tour around 07:30 hs leaving from our selected hotels in Puerto Madryn.
Day 2 Union Beach + Toninas Watching
When you finish touring the area, if you choose the option with toninas, you will board a small boat to go see dolphins. You will be able to get close to the Toninas, the world's smallest dolphin. We will sail until we see the playful dolphins in their habitat. This excursion lasts 1 hour.
Day 3 Punta Tombo
After this magical experience, you'll go to Punta Tombo, a geographical accident that Magellan's penguin uses as a habitat (entrance fee not included). It is located 3 hours from Puerto Madryn, on the road you will have time to appreciate Patagonian landscapes. At this stop, you can 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.
Day 4 Gaiman
In case the dolphin watching cannot be carried out or the Gaiman option has been chosen, we will carry out a historical circuit in this old Welsh colony where there will be the possibility of tasting the traditional Welsh Tea (not included).
Day 5 Puerto Madryn
We will return to Puerto Madryn around 18:30.
