Valdes Peninsula Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers

Discover one of Argentina's natural treasures when you take our trip to the Valdes Peninsula. This tour is specially adapted to suit cruise passengers arriving at the city of Puerto Madryn.

Valdes Peninsula Shore Excursion

We will meet you at the port of Puerto Madryn upon your arrival by cruise ship, before heading to the Valdes Peninsula (entry not included), a nature reserve located just outside the city.

Our journey takes us across the isthmus of Carlos Ameghino, connecting the peninsula to the Chabut province. This wilderness area covers 1,400 square miles and is home to a variety of animal species. We will arrive at the Interpretation Center, which offers views across the peninsula to both gulfs and Isla de Los Pájaros, home to gulls, herons, and penguins.

Next, we visit the bay of Caleta Valdés to see Elephant Seals and Sea lions in their natural habitat. We then proceed to Punta Cantor to observe these creatures closely and will pause for a meal if desired (not included).

Re-energized, we continue our tour. If fortunate, we may spot orcas hunting in groups.

Our last stop is Puerto Pirámides, the only settlement on the peninsula, designated a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. The area features a large colony of sea lions.

In the afternoon, we will return to the port of Puerto Madryn for your boarding of the cruise ship.
