Punta Tombo Trip + Dolphin Spotting

Encounter the fascinating Patagonian dolphin and meet lovely penguins and other birds native to the Punta Tombo Nature Reserve, when you take our amazing trip from Puerto Madryn.

Punta Tombo Trip + Dolphin Spotting

We will collect you from your hotel in Puerto Madryn and head south towards the port of Rawson.

At the port, a boat will take you out into open seas to discover the Patagonian dolphins. For approximately an hour and a half, we will drift along the Atlantic Ocean and watch these mammals performing acrobatic leaps.

After returning to dry land, we will continue our journey south for around 65 miles to the Punta Tombo Natural Reserve. This location is home to the largest continental colony of Magellanic penguins in the world.

The tour of the reserve begins at the Interpretation Center, where you will learn facts about the penguins. In summer, the colony exceeds one million in number.

We will explore the 2 miles of wooden walkways along the coastline, observing many penguins and other bird species, as well as their nests.

After the tour, we will return to the vehicle and take you back to your hotel in Puerto Madryn, with a total duration of 10 hours.

Important information

Although dolphins are common to the area, please note that the animals are unpredictable. We cannot guarantee how many we will see on the day of your trip.
