Great trip - Great experience, I would recommend going on this trip in December when more penguin are still there. We went on March 9, 2025 and most of the penguins were gone. Our driver was awesome and he gave use alot of Information about everything of the area.

The lovely Magellanic penguins - The penguins were amazing to see and watch. There are so many and so close to the walkway. Easy to photograph and video.

Great tour to see... - Great tour to see penguins. Tour guide was great also. Only downside is that we waited for over an hour for 2 people that never came, so we had 1 less hour with the penguins. Taking into account that we only had 2 hours to see penguins, 1 hour would make a big difference. They could have a better system for people who do not show. But the tour itself was awesome.

Penguin Paradise - Our guide was waiting for us at the end of the pier. We thought we might be part of a small group but we’re delighted to discover it was just the two of us. The car was functional rather than luxurious bit we got to Punta Tombo ahead of the coach crowds which was a huge bonus. Our guide was knowledgable and fun. We had a great trip and saw thousands of penguins. At our request he dropped us back in town so we could explore before boarding the ship in plenty of time before we set sail. It’s a two hour drive across barren land to the nature reserve but worth it to be so close to the penguins and to learn all about them.

Amazing tour with amazing, knowledgeable staff - It was an amazing tour. Daniel (our tour guide) and Lucas (our driver) were amazing. Daniel talked about Pinguins and Patagonia the whole 2.5 hours. When we got to the Pinguin colony we were awarded by hundreds and hundreds of Pinguins and chicks. Daniel had provided to many valuable information that we knew what to expect and how to behave around those funny birds. He was always close by to answer questions. Lucas, our driver, brought us back safely to the cruise ship drop off point. It was a trip of a lifetime.

The visit was worth the long drive - The 2.5 hr drive to get there was tough, but we had a very good guide. It's a pity our ship's stay wasn't long enough to have more time at the Penguin reserve

Saw thousands of Magellanic Penguins - Our guide met us as soon as we got off the cruise ship and was able to get us out to the Penguins well before all the buses arrived. He was informative and and social during the entire trip out as well as back. We were able to experience this without the crowd and that is so appreciated. Saw thousands of Magellanic Penguins
