See the penguins for a wonderful experience - I only booked the day before and was worried I would not be picked up. No issues there communication was great and Cecilia and Marten were waiting at the pier entrance of Porto Madryn. We travelled about 2 hours stopped at the largest dinosaur replica and the Welsh town sign of Trelew. The penguin colony was amaizing we walked through the colony on wooden decks and were able to view and photograph the penguins in front of us. We were given a generous 1:30 hours which was enough to walk all the way to the sea where we watched the younger penguins frolic whilst their parents were shedding their feathers in preparation for their migration. We were given a generous lunchbox on the way back freshly made. I encourage you to do the trip if walking is an issue you can do half the walk which is enough to see most of the penguins. Just loved it my best trip on this holiday for wildlife. Our guide Cecilia was generous with her time and very informative. The travelling time was well worth it.

Penguins - a lot of them - Was a long drive (2.5 hr one way) but had a great time Our guide, Mariana was enthusiastic. Lunch was great but two sandwiches per person was a bit too much.

Ship trip full so used Animal Travel - Booked last minute as cruise trip to penguins was full. Very efficient immediate confirm with time to meet the group at the end of the pier which was ahead of time the ship groups left and reassured about being back in time. The guide was super excellent, very knowledgeable and went the extra mile with a city tour on way back. We'd already done the Welsh tea trip as ship arrived early as Falklands too windy to land and so glad we binned on the sea lion trip to see the penguins and gaunacos instead.

Enjoyable informative trip - Mariana our bilingual guide very informative interesting and jovial throughout. This was important as we knew drive was two and half hours there and same back including brief comfort and other visiting stops. Two hour stay at Nature Reserve enjoyable and not overly crowded

An excursion of a lifetime! - It was amazing! One in a lifetime experience. We thought we were going to see only a few penguins but we ended up seeing hundreds. We also saw guanacos and other animals that are unique to this region. For weather reasons, we arrived one day earlier than planned so Animal Travel were nice enough to move our reservation up and it was a gift! We were in no rush so we had time to really absorb the place and all the magical fauna in the area. Adriana, our tour guide, and René, the bus driver are amazing and they always went above and beyond. We stopped to see a replica of the largest dinosaur ever lived and take pictures. This excursion is a must for sure and it is worth every minute of the five hour trip (2.5 hours each way).

Our guide with Animal... - Our guide with Animal Tours did a very good job of explaining not just Punta Tombo, but the areas that we passed on our way there like Terlew and the dinosaur statue. She knew we were tired on the way back, so she gave us some quiet time. The box lunch was very good. The journey to get to Punta Tombo and back is quite long (five hours), but that couldn't be helped.
