Encounter with Dark Dolphins. (From Puerto Madryn)

Encounter with Dark Dolphins: An Ecological Adventure in the Golfo Nuevo

I experienced an authentic encounter with the dusky dolphins (Cephalorhynchus eutropia), an endemic species of the Patagonian coasts.

From the perfect semi-rigid boat for whale watching, you will travel through the crystal-clear waters of New Gulf, while you learn about the behavior, life cycle and cooperative feeding of these acrobatic mammals.

With a Professional guide who speaks Spanish and English (check availability of other languages), this experience combines adventure, education and respect for the ecosystem.
