After a short drive from the pier, You will board a Zodiac for the approximately 2-hour navigation heading north into the Strait of Magellan.

Enjoy a guided walk for approximately one hour on marked pathways of this island observing the Magellan penguins in their natural habitat. This island is also home to cormorants and seagulls and since this is a wildlife reserve, no tourist facilities can be found here.

During the sailing, it is possible to spot Dolphins and Comerson’s Dolphins. In order to protect the wild life, we compass Marta Island to admire, photograph the colony and the many sea birds inhabiting the area; in Magdalena Island it is possible to disembark for an hour and interact with the colony.

These Magellan penguins return every year to this spot between October and March to lay eggs and raise their young. They bury their eggs in the sandy burrows and under shrubs. At this time of year most of the chicks will have hatched.

These animals are naturally curious and untamed and, if approached too quickly, they will scamper into their burrows or try to reach the water. Do not attempt to touch them as their bites can inflict serious wounds.

Walk back to the Zodiac and sail back to Punta Arenas, where your bus will be waiting to take you back to the pier.

Notes; There are iron steps on the Zodiac that may be slippery when wet.. A windbreaker and warm clothes are recommended, including comfortable walking shoes for uneven and slippery terrain.

INCLUDE ALL THE FEES.
