Yellow Submarine: The Most Exciting Underwater Cruise in Puerto Madryn
I experienced the sighting of southern right whales in a unique way: I climbed aboard the Yellow Submarine, a semi-submersible that takes you beneath the surface of the Nuevo Gulf to see the whales from below, as they float just a few meters from the boat.
This cruise combines the best of both worlds:
- From the upper deck: Watch whales on the surface, slapping the water with their fins or lifting their tails, just like in traditional whale watching.
- From the submarine cabin: Look through submerged windows and discover how they move underwater, as if you were diving alongside them.
With a Professional guide on board who speaks Spanish, English, French, Italian or PortugueseYou'll learn about their behavior, migration, and the ecosystem of the Golfo Nuevo, while enjoying a unique spectacle: tail slaps, fin flaps, and whales that approach the boat of their own volition.
🚤 Why choose Yellow Submarine?
He Yellow Submarine It's a modern, stable catamaran, specially designed for responsible whale watching. Its underwater viewing window allows you to see the whales moving beneath the surface, while your guide explains their behavior, migration, and the ecosystem of the Golfo Nuevo.
It's an experience intimate, safe and different to traditional boats.
