Esta opción de avistaje de ballenas brinda la posibilidad de observarlas desde el interior and exterior de su hábitat. Esta navegación se realiza a bordo del semisumergible Yellow Submarine.
La observación desde el interior (bajo el agua), tiene una perspectiva completamente diferente, siendo una experiencia comparable a la de bucear junto a ellas. A bordo del Yellow Submarine, los pasajeros pueden circular libremente y observar a las ballenas en superficie desde la cubierta superior (arriba), como en un avistaje tradicional o desde la cabina submarina (abajo), pudiendo contemplarlas a través de 40 ventanas de observación submarina, cada una con su propio asiento.
Las especies que se podrán observar son las Ballenas Francas Australes, Lobos Marinos de un pelo, aves típicas del territorio patagónico y Delfines Oscuros (según la época del año). Los pasajeros podrán optar en todo momento, de acuerdo a sus preferencias, por permanecer en la cabina submarina o en la cubierta exterior. En ambos casos disfrutarán cómodamente sentados y acompañados por las explicaciones de un guía ballenero, mientras observan los diferentes animales. Durante todo el recorrido nuestros guías ayudarán a interpretar el comportamiento y las dinámicas de los animales, respondiendo diferentes dudas que van surgiendo en el avistaje.
¡La combinación del avistaje submarino con las vistas panorámicas desde la cubierta exterior resultará una experiencia inolvidable!
