What to bring to Snorkeling with Sea Lions in Puerto Madryn tour

To make the most of your sea lion snorkeling tour, we recommend bringing the following:

  1. Comfortable and light clothing: Wear comfortable clothing for the activity and the ride. Keep in mind that it can be a bit chilly on the boat, so a light layer is ideal.
  2. Swimsuit: A swimsuit is essential to wear under the snorkel gear. If you're sensitive to the cold, you can bring your own wetsuit (they usually provide one, but you can ask if you'd prefer to bring yours).
  3. Towel: After the snorkeling, you'll want to dry off. Bring a compact towel that you can easily store in your bag.
  4. Sunscreen: Even though you'll be in the water, the sun can be strong on the surface. A water-resistant sunscreen is perfect for protecting yourself from UV rays.
  5. Sunglasses: Sunglasses are a good option to protect your eyes from the sun when you're out of the water.
  6. Comfortable shoes or sandals: Since there may be rocks near the beach, sturdy sandals or comfortable walking shoes will be helpful.
  7. Waterproof camera (optional): If you have a waterproof camera, feel free to bring it to capture the moment. The guide usually takes photos, but if you'd like to take your own, it'll be useful.
  8. Water and snacks: Bring a reusable water bottle and some snacks to keep yourself hydrated and energized.
  9. Dry clothes: After swimming, you’ll appreciate having dry and comfortable clothes for the return trip.

Remember that all the necessary snorkel gear will be provided for you, just make sure to bring the essentials to stay comfortable and ready to enjoy the experience!
