If you are looking to see whales at two meters respecting the environment and especially the animals, look no further the best is Animal. - 100x100 recommended, amazing everything , we went to the whale watching and from the entrance to the agency they were in charge of clearing all doubts and even gave us several tips of what to do and what routes to take within peninsula highlighting our safety , the girl who attended us very kindly gave us a lot of information , then once on the excursion from the operator hydrosports the cordiality of the attention , and not to mention the guides and the impressive photographer all very friendly and always well prepared to make you feel comfortable and finally a paragraph apart the captain of the boat who was a guide more and the closeness with the animals respecting them and always explaining very warmly everything , emphasizing respect to the animals and the environment . That's why even the whales feel comfortable because they've been within 3 meters of us, really exciting, really just words of thanks for the warmth , responsibility , seriousness and above all professionalism of all involved. If you are looking for where to get the whale watching do not hesitate it is here, this is the agency that does not fail and that above all has responsibility with the environment.

Unforgettable experience not to be missed - One of the most beautiful things I've ever done. The close encounter with whales both by boat and from Doradillo beach was an incredible experience. The guides of the agency are local and know the territory and the habits of the animals very well. The captain of the boat and his assistant Marisa very experienced sailors and it shows. Everything was conducted with the utmost respect for animals, without any aggressive attitude. Hope to be back next time in November in spring or April in summer

A super complete tour with whale watching, Hugo as a guide a genius, lots of info, talks, laughter, coffee on the dordillo with the whales at 3 meters. An amazing day! Personalized attention and super willing to remove doubts. More than recommended and I'll clearly be back for more. Thank you to the whole Animal Travel team. A luxury all. 👏🏻

Animal Travel, a company to hire 100% - We did three tours with Animal Travel, Puerto Pirámides with navigation EN yellow submarine, Dique Ameghino and Dolavon and the last Trelew with MEF and Gaiman. Excellent DE Maca attention in his offices and we also highlight Hugo the guide who accompanied us on the three tours.

The best experience - We did the trip Península Valdez and it was so great that the next day we returned POR la DE Solo Ballenas. We got two great guides: Cecilia first and Hugo later. They knew a lot, they shared and accompanied us with joy and EN-a-voda at all times, they gave everything. We had a very nice time and were enriching experiences. Recommended!

A very nice agency. - It is a small agency, they are very reactive, available, professional. They make me think of a family where everyone, the office girls, the drivers, and the guides do everything they can to make you have a good time. One gave me his WhatsApp so I could ask for anything if I needed to, and he told me about the restaurants near the hotel. They visit the city, tell you their story, tell you about the animals, and adapt to the visiting group and what people want. The whale watching was amazing. I've wanted to see them for dozens of years and I saw them, as far out of the water with the yellow submarine as they are on the dordillo beach where they're about a hundred meters away. Well, I recommend this agency. Thanks to them I spent a very pleasant stay in Patagonia.
