Snorkeling Trip - This was a great experience. While the sea lions did not interact with us, it was still very enjoyable. The proximity to wildlife and seeing them in their natural habitat was amazing. The wetsuits kept you very warm in the water.

Sea Lion Swim - We had a great time out in the water and the guides were able to get a ton of sea lions out to swim with us. The photos also were sent the same day and are really awesome!

I'd do it 1000 times more - The best experience I ever had, super recommended. Good care from the time we arrived until we left, I went with my 6-year-old baby and they took care of him incredibly in the water.

Loved it - Wow - this will go down as one of the best things we have done in a long time. The sea lions are incredible - playful and friendly as they gather round you. But all of the staff at Madryn Buceo work to make it an easy, comfortable, happy experience. Thank you, we loved it xx

A good experience - It was a very good experience! We were provided with plenty of wet suit coverage for the 59degreeF water. While in the water, we were able to easily view the sea lions on the shore and just a few entered the water. My only disappointment was that, based on the photos, I really thought we would be swimming/snorkeling amongst quite a few sea lions. But that was not the case, none of them swam near us. We still enjoyed the experience as a whole.

Will we have been unlucky? - We had this experience at the end of November , which came out early in the morning at 8am. Too bad that not even a sea lion entered the water, they were all beached on the beach .. so for us it was a useless experience .. with the wetsuite anyway we did not feel much cold. If ours was just bad luck it would have been appreciated to receive as a gift or at least in promo the chance to try again the following day

Great experience. Overpriced - It was amazing being able to swim with the lobitos. Guides were attentive, informative albeit a little sarcastic. You have about 30-40 minutes in the water with the lobitos so I think the price of 110 GBP per person (Viatour) is pretty expensive for what it is
