Meeting with the Overas Toninas: A Unique Experience in Rawson

Dolphin Watching: Sail with Patagonian Dolphins in Engaño Bay

I had a unique encounter with the Comfrey's dolphins, small dolphins endemic to Patagonia that live in Engaño Bay.

This nautical tour starts from the Port of Rawson, where the waters of the Chubut River blend with the ocean, creating an ecosystem rich in marine life. You'll see these sociable and playful creatures freely approach the boat, leap out of the water, and ride waves alongside it.

With a Professional guide who speaks Spanish, English, French, Italian or Portuguese (check availability)This experience combines adrenaline, nature and unique landscapes.
