Deseado Estuary Speedboat Tour

At 3 pm, we'll meet at the Puerto Penacho pier for a boat trip to the Deseado Estuary.

While sailing in these waters, we'll admire the landscape that has been declared a Natural Reserve, and learn about the local fauna. If conditions are favourable, sightings of Commerson's dolphins or Peale's dolphins may occur. The turquoise waters of the estuary are ideal for wildlife viewing.

First, we will head towards Chaffers Island to observe its colony of Magellanic penguins. The tour continues to Elena Island for birdwatching. The boat will then proceed to Larga Island, home to sea lions.

Our next stop will be Bird Island, where we'll disembark to see Patagonian penguins up close. You'll also have the opportunity to taste a homemade pudding with your choice of coffee, tea, mate, or chocolate milk.

The boat will return to the departure pier at 5:30 pm.
