Excursión con pingüinos en Isla Magdalena en barco desde Punta Arenas
Descripción
Disfrute de su propia "marcha de los pingüinos" en Isla Magdalena durante una excursión por la mañana en barco desde Punta Arenas. Tras el crucero al otro lado del Estrecho de Magallanes, llegará a esta reserva natural protegida y se maravillará ante los miles de pingüinos de Magallanes que pasean por el terreno que les sirve de lugar de reproducción. Siga a su guía a lo largo del camino acordonado que conduce hasta un faro, donde conocerá el ecosistema de la isla. Si las condiciones meteorológicas lo permiten, navegue cerca de Isla Marta y observe leones marinos y elefantes marinos.

Itinerario
Vístase abrigado y prepárese para unirse a este recorrido que comenzará en un punto de encuentro en Punta Arenas y luego viajará con el resto del grupo al muelle. Recuerda que debes estar a las 06:30 am en el punto de encuentro ubicado en José Nogueira # 1255, Punta Arenas. Suba a bordo de una gran lancha motora y diríjase hacia el norte durante unos 40 minutos en el Estrecho de Magallanes. Si tienes suerte, puedes ver delfines panda saltando de las agitadas aguas grises.
Llegue a la pequeña y rocosa Isla Magdalena, también llamada Monumento Natural Los Pinguinos, una reserva natural protegida y parque desde 1982, y un sitio de cría de pingüinos de Magallanes. Incluso antes de que el barco atraque, verás miles de pingüinos llenando las costas y escucharás sus graznidos. Durante el verano, aproximadamente 120,000 pingüinos ocupan la isla. Desembarque y pase aproximadamente una hora aquí con su guía, manteniéndose en el sendero designado acordonado para los visitantes. Estas curiosas aves, de aproximadamente 2 pies (61 cm) de altura, se cruzarán en su camino y pueden acercarse a usted, pero se le indicará que no las toque ni las alimente. A cada lado del sendero, observa cientos de madrigueras en el suelo, de aproximadamente 30 cm de diámetro, cada una poblada por un par de pingüinos. Observe a los pingüinos entrar y salir de los agujeros, donde se ponen los huevos, y otros excavan nuevas madrigueras arrojando montones de tierra con sus patas palmeadas. Su guía también puede señalar cormoranes y gaviotas andinas en la isla. Llegue al punto más alto de la isla y entre en un faro, que alberga exhibiciones que explican el hábitat de los pingüinos y los ciclos de reproducción, la historia del estrecho y los ricos ecosistemas de las islas cercanas.
Luego caliéntese con café y refrigerio en galletas (incluidas) antes de salir de la isla. En el camino de regreso, si el clima lo permite, su capitán puede pasar por Isla Marta, donde puede tomar fotos de leones marinos y elefantes marinos descansando en el afloramiento rocoso.
Después de una maravillosa mañana con pingüinos, su recorrido terminará en Punta Arenas en el mismo punto de encuentro de la mañana (José Nogueira # 1255, Punta Arenas).

Thank you for your review. We are very happy to hear you had an amazing experience and enjoyed seeing the penguins on the island. It is truly a special visit, and we are glad you had a great time.
Great tour from start to finish. Boat ride out to the island was smooth, guide was very informative. After we reached the island we had plenty of time to observe the penguins and other native birds.

It’s wonderful that you had plenty of time to observe the penguins and native birds on the island. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon!
We are on a Holland America cruise but this trip was not available from the ship tour offers. Booked thru aviator but run thru Solo Expeditions in Punta Arenas. They were aware of our time in port and easily got us back to the ship in time. Checking process was chaotic- they wouldn’t check k anyone in until start time of tour and then it was a bit unorganized. Once that was figured out, we were on buses and on our way to the boat that took us out to the island. Weather was perfect. Team on the boat were wonderful - took good care of us. Walk thru the island was wonderful - penguins were ready to show up for us! On the ride back we stopped to see the sea lions. Worth the trip, be patient with the check in process…
Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the excursion and that everything worked well with your cruise schedule. We appreciate your comments about the check-in process and will work on improving the organization to make the start of the tour smoother. Thank you for your patience, and we are happy you had a great experience with the penguins and sea lions.
Amazing guide, very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. Tons of penguins out and about. Also, had the chance to see the sea lions on Marta Island.
Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that our guide made the tour even more memorable. Seeing the penguins in their natural habitat is always something special, and we’re glad you also had the opportunity to observe the sea lions on Marta Island. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience.
Watch penguins up close. The walk on the island is a walking tour including a lighthouse. We could observe penguins, seagull geese and an ibis up close. The guide of Joselin was super bilingual, the crew on the catamaran very nice and attentive. We drove even further to a sea lion colony. We had enough time to watch the animals.
Thank you very much for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed observing the penguins and other wildlife up close. Isla Magdalena is truly a unique place, and we’re glad you were able to fully experience the walk around the island and its lighthouse. It is wonderful to know that Joselin’s guidance and the crew’s service made your trip even more enjoyable. We are also pleased that you appreciated the visit to the sea lion colony and the time dedicated to wildlife observation. Thank you again for sharing your experience, we truly value your feedback.
We really enjoyed this tour! It was very organized and punctual. They were accommodating and allowed us to leave our luggage at the office meeting point. We took a bus from the office to the dock, and then a 35 minute boat ride to Isla Magdalena (we did stop along the way to watch a whale!). We then got off the boat and spent an hour walking on the island. Be prepared for cold, very windy conditions. The boat cabin is warm and comfortable, but prepared to get wet if you want to stand outside on the boat (life jacket required). They gave us hot drinks and cookies on the ride back which was a nice touch to warm up our hands! Great for individuals, groups of friends, and families. FYI there are no stops for souvenir shopping, but there are multiple shops near the office meeting point in Punta Arenas that you can go to after.
Thank you very much for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and appreciated the organization, punctuality, and comfort of the excursion. We’re especially glad the whale sighting made your journey even more memorable, those moments are always truly special. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we sincerely appreciate your helpful tips for future travelers.

Spectacular and unmissable, I liked that there are many rules to protect animals. There are many penguins and other birds, these super close to them. The guides are very friendly and know the subject well. The boat is small and very safe, they know the deck ready to admire the landscape of the Magellanic canal
