It’s a long drive to the Nature Reserve from Puerto Madryn, but the experience is well worth the drive!
Thank you Kenton !
Very good tour. The tour guide Mariana was excellent, knowledgeable, well prepared and organized. They provided lunch and water for us, unlike other tours. We went in March, so there were not that many penguins there, but still enough to make it worth the 2½ ride each way. Marina kept us entertained. The largest dinosaur was a bonus site to see as well. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you miss the opportunity to see the penguins 🐧 elsewhere on your trip to Patagonia
Hello! Thank you for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and appreciated Mariana’s guidance. We’re glad the penguin colony visit made the journey worthwhile. Hope to see you another time
