- Puerto Madryn - The tour begins with a pickup from your accommodation in Puerto Madryn. Following a brief city tour to explore its history, the journey proceeds towards Trelew.
- Replica del Titanosaurio - The first stop is at the replica of the Patagotitan Mayorum, the largest dinosaur discovered to date. Here, you will learn about the era when dinosaurs dominated the region. This stop also offers a great opportunity for photography before continuing south.
- Playa Union - The tour continues to the beach resort Playa Union, where you will have free time to explore the coast and take photos, or opt for the 1.5-hour “Sighting of Toninas Overas” sailing trip (optional, NOT included in the final price). The boat journey navigates from the Chubut River’s mouth to the open sea, passing by a sea lion colony, in search of the smallest and most acrobatic dolphin, the Tonina Overa.
- Punta Tombo - En route to Punta Tombo, a short detour leads to Isla Escondida Beach, where the majestic Elephant Seals can be observed just 15 meters from the shore. After enjoying time to respectfully observe and learn about them, the journey continues to the Penguin colony. Along the ripio trails, the land safari offers sightings of guanacos crossing the Patagonian landscape.
- Punta Tombo - Punta Tombo is one of the most picturesque reserves in Chubut province, featuring the blue sea and Jurassic volcanic red rocks. Here, you will delve into the world of Magellanic Penguins on a 3-kilometer trail, allowing you to observe and walk among them. If nature cooperates and you remain observant, you may spot other remarkable Patagonian species such as Guanacos, Choiques, Maras, and Martinetas. After completing the trail, there is free time for lunch at “DeliStore” or to enjoy a picnic with your own food/snacks. After a day immersed in nature, the tour returns to Puerto Madryn, where you will be dropped off at your accommodation.

Excellent sighting experience of elephant seals and Magellanic Penguins. Much dedication and affection of Dos Oceanos - Wonderful experience on Escondida Island, where we could see up close elephant seals on the beach, sitting a few meters from them, with the precise explanation of the guide Daniel, who informed us about habits, behaviors, reproduction, etc. of them, even showed us a piece of skin and in Punta Tombo, an immense colony of Magellanic Penguins, also with all the explanation about them, walking a walkway between the caves of them, appreciating pigeons, eggs and adults. All this with excellent treatment, attentive to our concerns. I also highlight the driving of the Coco driver. I would certainly repeat the experience with them.

A beautiful encounter with nature - We had the guide from Lucas, who told us a lot about everything we were seeing on the tour, we loved it. We went to Isla Escondida and saw elephant seals, sailed to see toninas and then we went to the Punto Tombo penguin and we were lucky enough to see the first penguins of the season arrive, it was very exciting.

One to remember - Couldn’t have had a better guide than Diego: a lovely person and very knowledgeable about all we saw. Excellent English as well. And of course it was great fun seeing the penguins up close and watching them swim at the end of the walkway! The dinosaur museum was an awesome bonus; it’s one of the world’s best.

informative and helpful tour guide - Though the beginning communications and planning was a bit rough, not enough people joining to start the tour, so i had to change to another one with dinosaur fossils instead of real wild life, the tour went equally smooth with high quality. The guide Diego was very knowledgeable and kind, trying his best to solve even the wifi problem of the museum and took in whatever surprising along the way, such as a gaucho live.
