Dolphin Watching in Puerto Rawson

On this excursion to Puerto Rawson from Trelew, you'll enjoy a RIB boat ride to see Patagonian dolphins.

Day Trip Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet on Marcelino González Avenue, opposite the Puerto Rawson Prefecture. From this pier, we'll take a trip in a semi-rigid boat to attempt to spot local wildlife.

The trip begins along the mouth of the Chubut River. If weather conditions are favorable, we'll see single-haired sea lions. Additionally, we'll spot various Atlantic birds such as seagulls and albatrosses, and admire the yellow fleet of Puerto Rawson.

Next, we'll enter the Atlantic Ocean to observe Patagonian dolphins, also known as Commerson's dolphins, recognized by their distinctive whitish-black color. We will provide interesting facts about these mammals during the cruise.

After about an hour and 15 minutes of sailing, we'll conclude the boat ride by returning to the dock of Puerto Rawson.

It's a semi-rigid boat measuring 12.75 m (41.8 ft) in length and 4.5 m (14.7 ft) in beam, powered by two 250 horsepower engines, with a capacity for 57 people, including the crew.
