The dusky dolphin lives in pods of between 5 and 20 individuals, although groups of hundreds of dolphins can also be observed in Patagonian waters.
We begin the journey by boarding near the Piedra Buena dock in the center of the city of Puerto Madryn. During the tour we will have a beautiful panoramic view of the city as well as the crystal clear waters of the Golfo Nuevo. From the sea we will be able to observe the sunken ship “Folias”, the Punta Loma Protected Area (colony of sea lions), and a diversity of coastal seabirds such as cormorants, penguins, shearwaters, giant petrels and albatrosses.
Our navigation route will be towards the south, to enter the gulf in search of these wonderful dolphins.
The times and order of the places to visit may vary, depending on the season, the weather and the interests of the group.
Itinerary
-Presentation 30 min. before departure and for the placement of life jackets.
-Navigation with the aim of achieving the closest approach.
-The approach towards the animal is never forced, but rather the motor stops and it is the animal that approaches.
-Each meeting is UNIQUE and UNREPEATABLE since the animals are in their natural habitat and in total freedom.
