Description
We sail daily through the Strait of Magellan towards the Magdalena and Marta Islands. Magdalena Island receives more than 60,000 penguins each year and Marta Island is home to more than 1,500 sea lions. We begin with this unique adventure, after checking in at our office, we head to Bahía Laredo by transfer to embark on Magdalena Island, where we will disembark for 1 hour with our guide to see the natural habitat of the Magellanic Penguins, in the largest colony in Chile. We continue our journey to Marta Island to see Sea Lions (if the weather allows it), Imperial Cormorants and hundreds of southern gulls. Then, we return to the dock and to Punta Arenas. We will also have the opportunity, if we are lucky enough, to spot Piebald Dolphins, Commerson Dolphin and Sei Whales

Ideal para conhecer a cidade
Não poderia ter sido melhor. Comparando com fazer por conta própria, compensa. A região de Isla Magdalena à noite é outra coisa. Que bom seria se todos os tours fossem assim.
Micaela O.
Una experiencia redonda. El guía fue un capítulo aparte: sabía muchísimo y contestó todas nuestras preguntas. Tuvimos buen tiempo en Magallanes para sacar fotos tranquilos.

Ótimo atendimento
Faria de novo sem pensar duas vezes. Tudo pontual e bem organizado. Recomendaria a qualquer um que visite Punta Arenas.

Gostamos
Faria de novo, mas mudaria algumas coisas. Comparando com fazer por conta própria, compensa. A parada em Magallanes foi o que mais gostamos. Uma das paradas estava fechada naquele dia e não avisaram. Boa opção, principalmente na primeira visita.

Superou o que esperávamos. Vir com guia profissional em espanhol deixa mais completo. Gostamos muito da parte de Estreito de Magalhães. Cinco estrelas mais que merecidas.
