An unmissable excursion! Pablo is a genius! He picked us up right on time and took us to visit places that we would not have been able to go to otherwise. Spectacular!

Description
This experience combines adventure, nature, and those secret spots that make the Patagonian coast unique. With our 4x4 vehicles, they will traverse hidden trails, dunes, and cliffs that are totally inaccessible to traditional tourism, experiencing the adrenaline of real off-road while discovering unique landscapes and natural viewpoints that even many locals do not know. The tour includes a visit to the Punta Loma Reserve, home of the country's first colony of sea lions, where you can observe them from a privileged panoramic point and connect with the marine fauna in its natural environment. To close the excursion, we will share a snack by the sea on a quiet beach, ideal for relaxing, enjoying the scenery, and absorbing the energy of the place after a day full of adventure and discovery.

Great Fun and Very Interesting.
This is a great way to spend three hours in Puerto Madryn. Eduardo was not only a fun and informative guide he is also a very skilled 4x4 driver. Great places visited on the way and all at a competitive price.

Great 4x4
This 4x4 experience was great fun and the guide Paulo was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. I highly recommend it
T
A good off road fun time with lovely views and seal sanctuary visit
A group of 8 off the cruise ship had an enjoyable visit out of Madryn to witness lovely views, some off roading in the dunes to the various beach locations and ending at the seal reserve. An enjoyable few hours out of Madryn with some history on the way before walking around the sites in Madryn itself. An excellent stop with very good coffe and fab views as well. Highly recommended.

4x4 fun in Puerto Madryn
Wonderful 4x4 experience with Edward. Excellent guide and knowledge of area. Recommended
J
Exciting adventure
A bit uncomfortable due to the size of the vehicle. I started in the very back on a bench seat sitting sideways. It was hard to see anything. I moved to the middle seat and it was a bit more stable. Driving through the dunes was a lot of fun. Pablo was very nice and knowledgeable. Sites were stunning and one stop, we were provided a pastry and coffee and tea.

We loved riding in the 4...
We loved riding in the 4 x 4 and getting to see so much of Puerto Madryn up close. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic to show us the area. He’s also a skilled 4 x 4 driver, taking us into the dunes for an exciting ride. I highly recommend this tour!
H
Amazing ride!
The thrill rides is amazing, especially when we drove along the cliff, the feeling is like riding roller coaster, ups and downs, twist and turns, super fun! You not only need a strong “back” but also “heart”!! Our tour guide is a handsome charming guy, very experienced and professional!
P
Fun tour!
Eduardo was a wonderful guide and driver. It was fun going over the hills and dunes along the coast and seeing the sea lions at Punta Loma.
R
A great trip for those who like something a bit different
We had a great time. There are some hills, some thrills, and some great information about the history and geology of the area. There’s a visit to the national park to see sea lions too. As others have said, the cake at the end is really good. We had a lady on our trip who struggled to get in and out of the Land Rover. It’s not a strenuous tour, but you need to be able to get up and down from the vehicle.
