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.
