Whale Watching in El Doradillo

On this fantastic trip to the El Doradillo beach, you will witness the true kings of this magical stretch of coastline - the Southern right whale.

Whale Watching in El Doradillo

Once we collect you from your hotel in Puerto Madryn, we will head directly to the El Doradillo Nature Reserve, a thirty-minute drive from the city.

From the coast of El Doradillo, we will observe the Southern right whale swimming through the ocean waters. This southern Atlantic area provides the opportunity to see these marine mammals from as close as 25 meters, allowing you to even hear them breathing.

El Doradillo is located in the Golfo Nuevo bay, the ocean gateway to the Valdes Peninsula, which features rich ecological diversity and a wide variety of wildlife, particularly whales and dolphins. You will also learn about their feeding and reproduction.

The trip concludes with a guided tour of Puerto Madryn before returning to your hotel.

Important information

Southern right whales are unpredictable creatures. The number of whales you will see depends on various factors, including sea currents, weather conditions, and wind direction.

Collection times

To maximize whale sightings, the departure time will depend on the sea tide for that day. After booking, the tour provider will contact you to confirm the exact pickup time from your hotel in Puerto Madryn.
