Ganztägiger Punta Tombo – Wandern unter Pinguinen – Madryn

Driver was courteous, knowledgeable, patient and attentive. English was ok. Penguins were cute and sea elephants amazing. Got to see the sea elephants up close with no one else around. Great say

Everything was excellent we have seen penguins in nests, walking, in community all very beautiful.The very friendly guides, the very good vehicles.

Maxi the guide a genius, his knowledge, the enjoyment of his calling in each story made us have a great day out. Ariel a bonnet behind the wheel and very comical collaborated in this phenomenal day that we spent, thank you, both. Fabiana and Norberto.

We had a beautiful time! Mariana, the guide is a sweetheart. Super recommended. The visit was very nice, even though there were few penguins left because most had already migrated.

The Punta Tombo tour with Sussanich Turismo is a must-do penguin tour when cruising through Puerto Madryn—five stars! It was one of the highlights of our cruise ship journey around Cape Horn. The booking process was quite easy, and even though we needed to reduce the number of people going on the tour from six to four just two days before the excursion, everything went smoothly. (The change required switching from a van to a four-door vehicle.) It was no problem at all. When we arrived at the port, our driver-guide Marianna was waiting at the boat pier with our name on a poster—punctual and prepared! We immediately departed for Punta Tombo, which is a fairly long ride, approximately 1.5 hours each way. Because we left right away, we were among the first visitors to arrive at the park that day. Marianna, our driver-guide, was excellent. She was a great driver, and her English was outstanding. As a local, she shared her knowledge and deep understanding of the area’s history and wildlife. We reached Punta Tombo with plenty of time to walk around and see the penguins and guanacos (llama-like animals) before the large tourist and cruise ship buses arrived. We also wanted to stop at the dinosaur museum in Trelew, Museo Paleontológico Egidio Feruglio (MEF), so after spending 1 hour and 45 minutes at Punta Tombo, we headed back toward the ship with a 10-mile detour to the museum. Along the way, we enjoyed healthy snacks and juice drinks in the car while listening to Marianna talk about the region. This museum in Trelew, Argentina, houses a replica of the Patagotitan mayorum. At 100 feet (31 meters) long, it is one of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered, a member of the plant-eating Patagotitans from around 100 million years ago. The museum’s numerous other dinosaur exhibits are also very impressive. I highly recommend this small, intimate excursion with Sussanich Turismo, where you get to meet wonderful locals like driver-guide Marianna. It adds so much to the experience and creates special travel memories. On cruise ship itineraries, Punta Tombo and the dinosaur museum are two separate excursions, but Sussanich Turismo made our travel dream come true by taking all four of us to both places. Doing it this way makes for a long all-day excursion—about 8 hours door-to-door (or pier-to-pier). Pictures are included. Thank you, Sussanich Turismo, and our fantastic driver-guide Marianna, for a wonderful, magical day with guanacos, penguins, and dinosaurs!

Amazing experience. The guide was knowledgeable and helpful. We saw many penguins up close. Even though you are officially required to keep 3m distance from the penguins, in reality they have their nests and resting places really close to the tourist path, so you’ll be walking may be 0.5-1m from them. Also there are 2 observation points where you can see penguins swimming and if you are lucky hunting the small fish (the water is crystal clear, so you’ll be able to see them underwater). And after that we’ve gone to a beach where we were able to watch elephant seals from just meters away. And we were there alone (just our group).

What an excellent tour! The penguins are so ridiculously cute and such fun to observe. Rest assured, you will see a ton of penguins. On the tour we also saw many sea lions. My guide Cecilia was stellar. She was very knowledgeable, very kind , friendly, and genuinely interested in myself and the rest of the group. If you are looking for a great way to connect with this very unique ecosystem and want a reliable tour company that is committed to you having a great experience, then look no further!

Excellent experience. Never saw so many penguins and also several other fauna which really surprised me. Santiago was Excellent - awesome tour with plenty of useful information and a great and unforgettable chat!! Also elephant seals addition was very surprising and amazing. Thank you so much and looking forward to do a tour with you again!!

Fantastic experience, and expertly coordinated by the tour guide Mariana. The penguins are a must see, and we got to see some elephant seals too which was amazing.

An almost tailor-made excursion: we were three tourists with a guide (Mariana), with whom we toured with enough time and without hurry Punta Tombo to see penguins and the beach of Isla Escondida to be meters from the elephant seals. At all times the guide told us about the fauna and history of the place and stopped several times along the way as the animals approached. An unforgettable experience and that we would do again.
