南フィヨルドとマグダレナ島へのナビゲーション

The organizer cancelled the excursion: bad weather!! We would have liked to visit the penguins!

The crew was great! Very friendly and answered all questions. The island is beautiful and so interesting to see how the penguins live.

I can definitely recommend the trip. We have seen a lot of penguins and different birds. The guides take their time and explain a lot about the region and the animals. We found the tour relatively expensive.

Cancelled and lied about the reason - basically cruise ship came in and sold out and dumped us all off for the cruise line!!!

Very efficient operation. No time wasted. The crew was very professional and knowledgeable. Learned a lot about Patagonia, the Pinguins and the Magellan passage. Strongly recommend.

Great tour, the staff of the boat very friendly and explain very well from geographical and historical data, warned us that there was bad weather but still the tour was achieved, because it improved, we saw many magellanic penguins nesting.

The tour was well organized and friendly helpful excursion. Avoid a windy day if possible. Great to see the unique pilgrims!

After reading the reviews, we were hesitant in booking and worried that we would miss the checkin point; however the checkin details were correct with a giant sign indicating isle Magdalena penguins. One thing I will note is that it’s not a specific tour noted on the sign, but there are many guides able to help out. The tour guides themselves were amazing and very knowledgeable.

I was assured that I could go on this tour off the ship and return in time for boarding. After 5 different answers in port, it was concluded that we would not be back in time. I tried to cancel on that day and was told to call back because they could not bring up our booking. We contacted tour operator the day prior and was told where to meet and that everything was fine. Your policy says non-refundable, but we were told wrong information from your team and would like $330.76 refunded, and were extremely upset because this was to be the highlight of our trip.

As others said, it is very confusing to find this tour. Google directs you to one part of the port, but the pedestrian entrance is a block over. At that location, the only signs are for Fiordos del Sur, which is not a name that appears on the ticket (you just see Viator and Tangol) but it is actually correct, since FdS are the actual operator of the boat. The people who met us at the entrance to the port were unsure if we were in the right place. But once they were starting to check people in for the boat, our ticket worked just fine. The trip itself was great - an hour and a half ride through the desolate Strait of Magellan, where we got to see some seals and dolphins beside the boat, and then an hour on the island. There were penguins and other sea birds everywhere there. Since it was early summer (late December) all the different types of birds had their babies with them, and a few of the penguins were doing an amazing honking display. Even when it’s summer, be prepared for it to be chilly and rainy, but what do you expect when you are seeing penguins?
