Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Thousands of Magellanic penguins return to the shores of the Punta Tombo Nature Reserve every year. From September through the end of March, they spend their time courting, mating and hatching a brood of chicks. By April, both mature and young penguins are ready to migrate to warmer climates. Quite unfazed by human company, the penguins allow you to get in close for an unparalleled nature viewing experience. Complete your moderate full-day tour with a scenic, 2.5-hour drive back across the Patagonian steppe to your ship.
