Outstanding Tour of Patagonia! - Excellent full day tour of Patagonia with an outstanding driver & tour guide Pierre! He is very knowledgeable, understands so well the history and culture, has a wonderful personality, professional, kind and we had a terrific tour learning so much on different levels. Seeing sea lions, penguins and so many other animals in their natural habitats was memorable and Pierre’s narration made it even more special. A must do in beautiful Patagonia!

Swiss recession - The whole day was beautiful and we couldn't get away from wonder. We were picked up on time by Fernando. He was very friendly, accommodating and chatty. Where we needed Help center he helped, where we had questions he answered them. The choice excursion was beautiful. The captain and his team give the safety of the passengers top priority! Could see and experience everything except orcas. Punta Norte has a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean. The Reserva Natural Estancia San Lorenzo is worth every penny! Cannot be compared to Punta Tombo. You are in small groups and much closer to the penguins. However, this trip is very costly. In addition to the price for the tour guide, there was also admission to the Península Valdes 30'000ARS(For foreign tourists), 125,000ARS for the choice excursion and 50'000ARS for Estancia San Lorenzo. But is a must for anyone who wants to experience something!

great opportunity to see penguins - We had a fun day going out to Punta Norte to see the sea lions and penguins. The elephant seals were already gone by March but the sea lions were still visible, although not very close. We did not see orcas, but that was not unexpected. However the experience with the penguins was amazing as there were hundreds and very up close to view. We had a very nice lunch at the ranch, delicious sausages.

Lunch Estancia San Lorenzo - The food was horrible, lamb overheated, Service lousy, bathrooms dirty and in bad shape. He rescued the visit to the Penguin Reserve and especially highlighted the Excellent Guide Claudio
