This whale watching option offers the possibility of observe them from the inside and abroad of their habitat. This navigation is carried out aboard the semi-submersible Yellow Submarine.
Observation from inside (underwater) has a completely different perspective, being an experience comparable to diving with them. On board the Yellow Submarine, passengers can move freely and observe the whales on the surface from the upper deck (above), as in a traditional whale watch, or from the underwater cabin (below), being able to see them through 40 underwater observation windows. , each with its own seat.
The species that can be observed are Southern Right Whales, Single-haired Sea Lions, typical birds of the Patagonian territory and Dusky Dolphins (depending on the time of year). Passengers may choose at any time, according to their preferences, to stay in the underwater cabin or on the outside deck. In both cases you will enjoy sitting comfortably and accompanied by the explanations of a whaling guide, while observing the different animals. Throughout the tour our guides will help interpret the behavior and dynamics of the animals, answering different questions that arise during the sighting.
The combination of underwater watching with the panoramic views from the outside deck will be an unforgettable experience!
