Yellow Submarine Whale Watching

This whale watching offers the possibility of observing them from inside and outside their habitat. This navigation is carried out aboard the Yellow Submarine semi-submersible.
Observation from inside (underwater) has a completely different perspective, being an experience comparable to diving alongside 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 combination of underwater viewing with panoramic views from the outside deck will be an unforgettable experience!

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 outer deck. In both cases they will enjoy being comfortably seated and accompanied by the explanations of a whaling guide, while they observe 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.
