Great experience! - We did this tour as a couple in November 2025 and loved it. The pickup was on time and everything was well organized. The guide was friendly, spoke good English, and shared interesting facts about the animals. The boat felt safe and we saw many whales very close, plus other wildlife. It was a long day but not too tiring, and it was a beautiful, romantic experience that we would happily recommend.

10/10 - It was amazing, every animal they said we would see we saw. We saw hundreds of whales with their babies, sheep and their babies, ostriches, horses, llamas, elephant seals, birds, maras, and more! It was incredible. We visited a tiny town too which was fun. We speak English and he made sure to repeat everything to both Spanish and English speakers and help us order at the restaurant and cafe. Thank you so much for this incredible experience

Great tour, super friendly guides - gladly again! - Everything worked out wonderfully - the punctual pick-up at the hotel, the Spanish/English language changeover from the guide, the pleasant transfer in the minibus, the timing of the day! We had a great driver Miguel and a great guide Fernanda who provided us with so much information about all possible occurring animals - that was really fun. Thanks for the great day!

Interesting trip - Nice trip with a good guide, Selva, that told us a lot about the region, the area and the species in English, French, Italian and Spanish. It was not whale-season, but we saw other sea-animals and birds and animals on the ground. In total more than 10 different species. Thanks to the driver, Pablo, who kept a good lookout and stopped for taking photos.

Wonderful Wildlife Adventure! - Tour Guide Valeria and driver Rouen did their respective jobs very well. About five minutes after our boat left Puerto Pyramides we saw a mom with baby South Right Whale. Over the course of the 90 minute boat ride we saw about six more, as well as a fabulously large colony of Sea Lions. Orca came at high tide! Lunch there was quite good: Langostinos and salad with langostinos😉… Magellan Penguin colony consisted of about 15 individuals, very cute, nesting. Van was comfortable. Tour is recommended!

A very nice day - An exceptional day - no wind! We saw whales not above the surface, but underwater. In Caleta valdez there were very few elephant seals because not many had arrived in September.

Fantastic day with magic moments with the whales - The day was really well organized with Vanessa our guide for the day, Claudio our driver and Stephen for the our guide for the whales watching tour. We enjoyed every moment of it. We got plenty of explanation along the day and all our questions were answered. Travelling with our 2 teenagers, they enjoyed the tour as we did. Many thanks for this beautiful day with loads of fantastic whales and their babies.

Book this company. There are a lot out there and not all are good - They were great. The bus was clean and they were so informative. I booked through get your guide and was really happy with the service. We also booked another tour via Viator to Punta Tombo and it was awful. Luckily, we took this the day before and learned everything we needed about penguins. Book this tour!

The trip to Peninsula... - The trip to Peninsula Valdes was amazing, especially the whales, but it was quite expensive and very crowded.
