Traditional Whale Watching

Sailing with Southern Right Whales: A Unique Experience in the Nuevo Gulf

I experienced one of the most magical encounters of nature: sailing just a few meters from southern right whales, in one of the world's most important destinations for this activity.

This boat sighting is carried out in semi-rigid boats, ideal for getting close to the whales' habitat safely and respectfully. Unlike large boats, these vessels allow for a more intimate, quiet, and flexible experience.

With a professional guide on boardYou will learn about the whale's biological cycle (mating, birth, rearing), its behavior, and the ecosystem of the Golfo Nuevo.

And most importantly: the approach is never forced. The engine stops, and it is the animal who decides to approach. Each encounter is unique and unrepeatable.

📍 Navigation itinerary.
