Puerto Madryn, Argentina

Whale Watching Expedition

Venture Out to Sea to View Southern Right Whales Experience the thrill of an encounter with one of nature’s largest mammals during a whale-watching expedition. From June through December, southern right whales arrive in the waters off the coast of Argentina to mate, give birth and raise their calves—they can reach lengths of 55 feet and weigh up to 99 tons. Drive to the Valdéz Peninsula, where you will visit the visitor’s center before meeting your vessel in Puerto Pirámides and cruising to your whale-watching site. Southern right whales are active at the surface of the water and their natural curiosity brings them close to boats. Watch these impressive creatures as they frolic—you may even have the pleasure of seeing one breach or slap its tail against the water. Cap your unforgettable experience with a visit to Punta Pirámide, where you will view a sea lion colony from a cliffside viewing point before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
