DOLPHINS WATCHING

Dolphins in Madryn

From January to mid-April, we set sail every day on a rigid inflatable boat to observe marine wildlife and admire the scenic landscapes of the Golfo Nuevo.

All trips are guided by a specialist who helps us interpret the marine ecosystem and learn about the local wildlife.

We provide an interpreter for English speakers.

All departures are subject to weather conditions.

Boat Tour in Puerto Madryn

Searching for Dolphins!

We navigate the Golfo Nuevo with a maximum distance of 3 nautical miles from the coast, focusing on searching for Dusky Dolphins, one of the most acrobatic dolphins that can jump several meters above the water’s surface.

Other species of dolphins can also be spotted, such as the Common Dolphin. We also observe sea lions and birds in the Punta Loma reserve, offering a unique perspective of the city from the sea.

Please note that sightings are not guaranteed, as these are wild animals that swim quickly over a vast area. We also cannot guarantee the show they might put on when we encounter them.

The vessel is authorized to transport up to 60 passengers, but for comfort, we limit the number to 40-45 people. It is equipped with three environmentally certified four-stroke engines.
Located just 14 km from Puerto Madryn, the Punta Loma sea lion colony is the oldest wildlife reserve in Chubut. Created in 1966, it was one of the starting points that made the province a leading destination for nature conservation and protection.
In the Golfo Nuevo, there are 18 species of aquatic birds, such as flamingos, ducks, and herons; shorebirds like oystercatchers, sandpipers, and Antarctic pigeons; and seabirds like petrels, cormorants, and various species of gulls and terns.
