Loop naast de pinguïns op het eiland Magdalena en vaar naar het eiland Marta
Beschrijving
Wandel tussen de pinguïns op Magdalena-eiland en observeer de diverse fauna van Marta-eiland. Vaar door de Straat van Magellan richting de eilanden Magdalena en Marta. Magdalena Island herbergt jaarlijks een van de belangrijkste pinguïnkolonies, en Marta Island is de thuisbasis van meer dan 1500 zeeleeuwen. We beginnen dit unieke avontuur. Na het inchecken op ons kantoor, gaan we per transfer naar Laredo Bay om aan boord te gaan van speedboten. De tocht duurt 45 minuten naar Magdalena Island, waar we aan land gaan voor een uur met onze gids. Daar leren we meer over de natuurlijke leefomgeving van de Magelhaenpinguïns, in de grootste kolonie van Zuid-Amerika. We vervolgen onze reis naar Isla Marta om zeeleeuwen te spotten (als het weer het toelaat), keizerlijke aalscholvers en honderden zuidelijke meeuwen. Daarna keerde ik terug naar de aanlegsteiger in Punta Arenas. Met een beetje geluk hebben we ook de kans om zuidelijke dolfijnen, Commerson-dolfijnen en seiwalvissen te spotten.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Magdalena Island is de thuisbasis van een van de grootste kolonies Magelhaense pinguïns, ongeveer 50.000 exemplaren arriveren eind september op het eiland om hun kuikens te krijgen en vertrekken de eerste dagen van april. Op het eiland kunnen we een uur wandelen langs het pad met de pinguïns.
We zullen rond Marta Island varen om de gevarieerde fauna te observeren die de Straat van Magellan ons biedt, zoals zeeleeuwen, aalscholvers, stormvogels, albatrossen en als we geluk hebben, kunnen we walvisslagen observeren tijdens het zeilen.

Everything about this trip was magical especially the people on the boat who make the trip really memorable.
The walk throughout the penguin colony was excellent and seeing the Southern Sea Lions was unbelievable. A comfortable trip! The guide on the boat was so knowledgeable and wanted everyone to understand the area and what we were seeing. We arranged a similar trip 2 days later as we enjoyed it so much.
A wonderful experience, the guides super attentive and friendly. Not only do they make the tour of the islands but they also tell you stories and information about the penguins. Highly recommended 10/10
This excursion was wonderful!! Our guide provided us with a lot of helpful information about the penguins and what would happen at each island that we visited. He also answered any question we had along the way - on the boat and on the island. The staff were helpful in getting on and off the boat and served us warm drinks (coffee, tea or hot chocolate) after our visit to Magdalene Island. They even reminded us to make sure our phones were safe as we got off and on the boat. The penguins and sea lions were amazing to see. We are very glad that we took this trip. The only tough part is the early departure time but it was worth it. And if we had been traveling in Patagonia a few weeks earlier, we probably would have seen a lot more penguins. One suggestion - bring binoculars if you have them
Check in was time consuming as there was only 1 person to check 2 busloads. The trip itself was great, the guide knowledgeable and the crew was outstanding.
The most amazing weather. The guides were very knowledgeable and spoke good English !! Highly recommend the tour. We saw penguins, sea lions , dolphins and many types of birds.
Joseline is very prepared. The experience is one of a kind, walking alongside the penguins, seeing where they live, listening to the deafening sound of sea lions... Everything is great!
The tour was cancelled for weather conditions with few forewarning, when we already came in Punta Arenas just to see the penguins. Had we been notified (at least about the risk) earlier we would have spent our time better. Weather forecast are accurate within 48 hours precisions to issue risk warnings. Only positive thing the reimbursement was fast.
It is worth getting up early! Arrive a few minutes early to select a good seat on the bus. Both the penguins and sea lions were wonderful to view. Rafael was a terrific guide!
This was a great trip. The check in was simple, the crew were super helpful, informative and genuinely friendly. The guides made sure to explain things in English for us non Spanish speakers. The team also made sure we were suitably fed and watered throughout the trip. (There are toilets onboard which was a plus). Fantastic views from start to finish. I’d very much recommend this trip for not just solo travelers but also for couples or groups.
