It's a magic place - The boat excursion for bird watching costs $46,000, if it is high season it is better to book in advance, in November you can do it there directly, the entrance to the park costs $3,000, the cheapest way to get there is with a bus $1,300, renting a car cost us $60,000 plus gas, a tour charges you $46,000 per person.

Excursion to be taken - From Puerto Madryn to the peninsula, a very interesting trip looking at some of the fauna of the Patagonian steppe. Once there, visit the small penguin colony and elephant seal colony. And then, the golden clasp!! Sailing near whales that swim alongside their whales and offer a show that cheers the soul!!

Unique - We went to whale watching it's amazing... But it was a very windy day and there were very big waves. The whole decomposed vessel vomiting we had to become... conclusion before going a Dramamine I would have avoided such a situation.. amazing scenery something to do no doubt

Group trip, to know the place, to which I returned twice more. - Nice excursion, with expectations that are fulfilled after boarding. They provide lifeguards and information. On dry land, lots of stalls to buy, look at, have a drink. You admire the beauty of the surroundings and there are other points to visit. Recommended walk.

Watch the season! - The whale season is between July and October. If you don’t want to see them from afar and/or for ten seconds, you have to go during those months.
