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 specifically adapted for cruise passengers arriving at Puerto Madryn.

Valdes Peninsula Shore Excursion

We will meet you at the port of Puerto Madryn upon your arrival by cruise ship, and head 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, connecting the peninsula to Chabut province. The wilderness covers an area of 1,400 square miles and is home to diverse animal species. We will arrive at the Interpretation Center at the entrance to the reserve, featuring an observation point with views across the peninsula to both gulfs and Isla de Los Pájaros, home to gulls, herons, and penguins.

Next, we will visit the bay of Caleta Valdés to see Elephant Seals and Sea Lions in their natural habitat. At Punta Cantor, you can get even closer to these animals. We will pause in our itinerary for you to have something to eat if desired (not included).

Afterward, we continue the tour, with a chance to spot orcas hunting in groups. Our last stop is Puerto Pirámides, the only settlement on the peninsula, which is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. The area is home to a large colony of sea lions.

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