Península Valdés Full-Day Tour

Pick up in Puerto Madryn

Your adventure begins early in the morning with hotel pick-up in Puerto Madryn. From there, we’ll head to Península Valdés, one of Argentina’s most important nature reserves and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On the way, we’ll make a short stop at El Desempeño, where you’ll need to pay the reserve entrance fee (not included).

While payment can be made by credit card, we recommend bringing cash in case of connection issues.

Península Valdés Reserve – Interpretation Center

Our first stop is the Carlos Ameghino Isthmus Interpretation Center, where you’ll gain insight into the region’s unique wildlife, flora, and geography. Here, you can admire a massive whale skeleton and take in stunning panoramic views of the surrounding gulfs and Isla de los Pájaros from the outdoor viewpoint.

After the visit, we’ll continue exploring the peninsula, spotting guanacos, maras, foxes, and other native species roaming freely in their natural habitat.

Puerto Piramides

Our next stop is Puerto Pirámides, the only town within the peninsula and the gateway for maritime excursions. You’ll have free time to explore the village, stroll along its beaches, or enjoy a coffee with an ocean view.

We will also visit the La Elvira Complex, where you can take a break, use the restrooms, and walk along the interpretive trails. This is the perfect moment to have lunch, whether at the resort's restaurant or by enjoying a picnic with breathtaking scenery.

Valdés Cove

The journey continues north to Caleta Valdés, a stunning coastal area where you’ll get to observe elephant seals lounging along the shore. If you're visiting between September and March, you’ll also have the chance to see a colony of Magellanic penguins in their natural habitat.

North Point (Punta Norte)

Our adventure continues as we reach Punta Norte, one of the top spots for wildlife watching on the Península Valdés Full-Day Tour. Depending on the season, you’ll have the chance to see elephant seals (September–December) and sea lions (January–April). If you're lucky, you might witness the breathtaking moment when orcas approach the shore to hunt—a rare and unique phenomenon seen only in a few places in the world.

South of the Peninsula (May–October)

If you're visiting Península Valdés between May and October, your itinerary will include Punta Delgada, where you can get closer to the shore and observe elephant seals in their natural habitat. This area offers a unique perspective of these fascinating marine mammals, making for an unforgettable wildlife experience.

Return to Puerto Madryn

After an incredible day exploring Península Valdés, observing its diverse wildlife, and admiring its breathtaking landscapes, we will begin our journey back to Puerto Madryn. We expect to arrive around 6:00 PM, giving you time to relax and reflect on the unforgettable moments you experienced in this stunning corner of Argentine Patagonia.
