Whale Watching in El Doradillo

After pickup from your hotel in Puerto Madryn, we will proceed to the El Doradillo Nature Reserve, a thirty-minute drive from the city. From the coast, we will observe the Southern right whale in the ocean waters, with the unique chance to see them as close as 25 meters. At this distance, you may hear the whales breathing.

El Doradillo is situated in the Golfo Nuevo bay, connecting to the Valdes Peninsula, known for its diverse ecology, particularly whales and dolphins. You will learn about their feeding and reproductive habits while enjoying the view of these marine mammals.

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

Collection times

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