Cruise Shore Excursion Punta Tombo with Boxlunch from Pto Madryn

Summary: Roy was a very knowledgeable guide. He gave us the history of the area, explained where we were going and took great care of us. The experience was great.

Summary: Be prepared to walk along a boardwalk to see the penguins. Bus ride is long but our guide shared a lot of the area’s history. Box lunch was fare but filling.

Summary: Tour was as described. It is a long ride but our guide did a great job sharing interesting information along the way. We saw a lot of penguins, walking right along with them by their homes.

Summary: I cannot speak highly enough about the communications from this company. . First class! Through no fault of anyone, we did not dock until 3/4 hours after our supposed arrival time due to gale force winds and original approach was aborted at last minute. As our tour was a full day tour it could not proceed. Once the ship eventually docked, we were not only offered alternative shortened tours around town etc we were informed in writing that our original tour fee would be refunded. This is a wonderful gesture and greatly appreciated as the tour company would have had some expenses due to the last minute change. We were enormously disappointed not to have seen the penguins. .perhaps next time when we would most certainly book this tour with this company. Thank you so much for your professionalism, your patience and the communications. . We wish you well.

Summary: The highlight for me was the expectation of seeing lots of penguins up close. This was a long walk along a boardwalk to see the penguins at a distance. There were scattered penguins along the way that were close up, and we were able to see the nests with small babies nestled inside.

Summary: Our tour guide (Mariana?) was well prepared, knowledgeable and informative. Alex from the tour operator actually texted me as soon as I booked the tour and we corresponded of every changes in our cruise schedule. We saw and took pictures of cute Magellanic penguins in their rookeries. Highly recommended tour!

Summary: This was a very well organized tour, they were efficient and great in communicating thru Whatsapp on the time and meeting place. This tour started early and we got there before all the big buses showed up. Our tour guide Marcela was very good and very enthusiastic, armed with a wealth of information about the wild animals in the area. She was great in spotting and pointing out animals we encountered. We saw an armadillo!! She was a bit hard to understand sometimes, but she more than make up this deficiency with all the pluses. We did come late for this tour (March), all the penguin chicks were gone. U need to come earlier, January or February.

Summary: Great communication from the tour company before we arrived. Knew exactly where to meet them and how to find them. Tour was exactly as described and we were impressed with the guides local knowledge. Great information about the culture and Heritage of local people. Saw penguins at end of the season so not millions but still enough to be impressed. Would recommend this tour company!

Summary: Alex organized our tour booking very nicely. Our cruise was late, they waited at the port. Our guide Mariana is very nice, very knowledgeable, gave us a lot of information about the area and wildlife. We didn’t see a lot of penguins, only some juveniles.

Summary: This was a great day out in the Argentinian Patagonia. It was a long 2 1/2 hour drive to Punta Tombo but through some interesting countryside. It allowed us to appreciate the extent and diversity of this beautiful country. Once at Punta Tombo there was a long walk to reach the penguin colony. Once there we saw at close quarters hundreds of Maguellan penguins in their own environment and there were lots of good photo opportunities. Overall a good day out. Our guide was very informative and provided us with lots of information and anecdotes not only on the wild life and natural environment but also on the history and development of the area and its inhabitants.
