Guided Visit to Peninsula Valdes Highlights Your adventure awaits as soon as you leave the ship. On this small group day trip tour from Puerto Madryn with no more than 18 guests, you will have the opportunity to experience "Mankind's Natural Heritage," where whales, elephant seals, penguins, and other amazing creatures all share the same habitat. Take in the landscape of the region on the 35-mile drive from Puerto Madryn to your first stop at Peninsula Valdes. This amazing ecosystem brings together a variety of marine life, including orcas, elephant seals, fur seals, and Magellan penguins. After a visit to the interpretation center, you will depart once more, this time traveling 59 miles to Caleta Valdes, a 21-mile stretch of protected land. Once there, you will have a chance to encounter more area wildlife, including elephant seals, penguins, and occasionally orcas. Finally, enjoy more incredible views of the scenery on your ride back to the ship in time to depart.
