Private Peninsula Valdes Highlights
Get the chance to see whales, orcas, sea lions, elephant seals, and Magellan penguins on this private day trip tour to the Protected Natural Areas of Peninsula Valdes and Caleta Valdes.
Your adventures await as soon as you leave the ship. Enjoy a private tour to "Mankind's Natural Heritage" where whales, orcas, and other great 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 Southern right whales, sea lions, elephant 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.
