Dolphin watching (Patagonian dolphin)

The unique conditions of the geographical space allow the possibility of enjoying the beauty of the landscapes and the richness of the marine fauna that inhabits the waters of Bahía Engaño.

A few kilometers from the city of Rawson (capital of the Province of Chubut), and at the point where the waters of the Chubut River meet the sea, the Port of Rawson rises. Next to it the spa town is located Union Beach, located in the open sea and forming part of Bahía Engaño. This adventure invites us to experience a beautiful navigation in a powerful semi-rigid to spot Toninas Overas, small dolphins that have the characteristic of being sociable, active and excellent swimmers. They themselves are the ones who often approach the boat, swimming in the bow and jumping out of the water, since they like to ride oceanic and coastal waves. They are usually seen in groups of 2 to 10 specimens.
