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 has been specially adapted for cruise passengers arriving in 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 will take us across the isthmus of Carlos Ameghino, which connects the peninsula to the Chabut province on the mainland. This wilderness area covers 1,400 square miles and is home to a high number of animal species. We will arrive at the Interpretation Center, where visitors can enjoy views of the peninsula, the gulfs, and Isla de Los Pájaros, home to gulls, herons, and penguins.

Next, we will visit the bay of Caleta Valdés to observe Elephant Seals and Sea Lions in their natural habitat. A short break will be made for refreshments (not included).

Afterwards, we will continue our tour of the peninsula with the chance to spot orcas hunting in groups.

Our last stop is Puerto Pirámides, the only settlement on the peninsula, recognized as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve due to its biodiverse ecosystem and home to a colony of sea lions.

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