We will pick you up from your accommodation in Puerto Madryn at the scheduled time, embarking on our journey south toward the port of Rawson.

Upon arrival at the port, a boat will be prepared to take you into the open waters to observe the enchanting Patagonian dolphins. For approximately an hour and a half, you will sail the Atlantic Ocean while witnessing these magnificent creatures showcasing their impressive acrobatics.
