Fun and informative - Excellent service. I was contacted by WhatsApp the night before to confirm my reservation, which was super helpful because my taxi dropped me off at a different marina, so I was able to call them and get to the correct meeting spot. The tour is so much fun and very informative. My six year old got her fill of sea lions and a wonderful variety of birds. Tip: take a scarf, blanket or towel for the boat ride. It can be a chilly ride! I should have bought the head covering they were selling before we boarded.

Easy Meetup and Awesome Tour - We exited the cruise shuttle at Marina Turistica and the agent was right outside with a sign. We were even able to switch to an earlier tour time. Awesome tour - saw penguins, sea lions and lots of birds. Included the entrance fee, unlike other more expensive providers. 100% recommend
