Tour Options
Itinerary
The journey to the Valdes Peninsula takes about 1 hour to the first stop, crossing Patagonian steppe landscapes. You will make a stop at “El Desempeño” (entrance fee is not included in the tour price). Then, you will enter the Carlos Ameghino Isthmus Interpretation Center, an educational and panoramic stop where you can observe the skeleton of a southern right whale, informative panels on the fauna, flora and geography of the peninsula, and also access the viewpoint. From there, you can simultaneously see the New Gulf, the San Jose Gulf and Bird Island. The total time includes one hour transfer from the city plus the visit to the Visitor Center.
It is the only village on the peninsula and the starting point for boarded whale watching (optional and at extra cost). If you don’t make the sighting, you can tour the village, the beach and the souvenir shops. Restaurants, bars and confectioneries are available for self-catering.
After your visit to Puerto Pirámides, you will explore the Punta Pirámides barbershop, a beautiful sea lion puntadero that also offers some of the best panoramic views.
Visit Playa Doradillo, famous for whale watching from the coast, especially between July and October. Extensive and quiet beaches, ideal for walking and enjoying the scenery. The guide usually chooses the best point according to the tide and the presence of whales.
Return to the city, we will drop off all passengers in their corresponding accommodation.

It is the second time I have gone on excursions with Animal Travel and I would choose them a thousand times more. The guides are super friendly, cool, and are predisposed to whatever we visitors need. I did Solo ballenas with Hugo and it was the best. He explained a lot of things to us and is very nice. The girls in the office are also very friendly and if you are not sure what to do, they advise you according to the weather what is best for each day. I recommend it 100%
Muchísimas gracias por volver a elegirnos y por dejarnos una reseña tan linda 🥰Nos alegra especialmente que hayas disfrutado de la experiencia de Solo Ballenas también agradecemos mucho tus palabras para nuestras chicas de la oficina. Nos encanta poder asesorar a cada viajero según el clima, las condiciones y lo que más quiera disfrutar durante su estadía. Gracias por recomendarnos y esperamos volver a verte en Puerto Madryn!
It has truly been an unforgettable experience! I recommend it 100% The experience itself is spectacular, but the day has been unbeatable, especially thanks to Hugo and Nico, who made the atmosphere perfect and put in all their effort for us to see as much wildlife as possible. When people put passion into what they do, it shows, and today was the case. We were able to see hundreds of whales just a few meters away from us, with calves, jumping... it was wonderful. I also recommend taking the boat, as if you are lucky, you will be able to almost touch the whales because of how close they are.
¡Muchísimas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de compartir tu experiencia! 😊 Nos llena de alegría saber que viviste un día tan especial y que el avistaje de ballenas fue inolvidable. Hugo y Nico disfrutan muchísimo de su trabajo y de compartir la pasión por la fauna de nuestra región, así que les haremos llegar tus palabras. Gracias por recomendarnos y por confiar en nosotros para vivir esta experiencia.
In addition to visiting the peninsula you have a guide who talks about the place history, ranches , native animals , sea lions .... And whales if you're in season.
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire! Nous sommes ravis de savoir que vous avez apprécié la visite de la péninsule et toutes les informations partagées pendant la journée. C’est toujours un plaisir de pouvoir montrer la faune, les paysages et l’histoire de la région. Merci de nous avoir choisis pour votre visite!
It was an unforgettable experience and everything went perfectly. I honestly have no suggestions to make as the organization of all the steps of the tour and the times were very well planned. We left super happy and I congratulate you on the work you do. My congratulations to Hugo and René who accompanied us throughout the tour. We will surely come back soon to make more excursions and we will choose them again
Muchísimas gracias por tus palabras y por elegirnos 🧡 Nos alegra saber que todo salió perfecto y que disfrutaron tanto del recorrido. Le vamos a hacer llegar tu felicitación a Hugo y René. Los esperamos cuando vuelvan para seguir compartiendo más excursiones por acá.
We did the whale watching excursion and it was an amazing experience. We had them very close. It was beautiful, it is an activity that if or if it should be done. Attention a 10, all very friendly and attentive.
Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaron del avistaje de ballenas y que la atención de nuestro equipo hizo la diferencia. Es realmente un momento único poder verlas tan de cerca. Gracias!
We loved the excursion, my niece was traveling for the first time and she was fascinated... And in love with Pyramids port. The girls at the agency are very attentive.
Muchas gracias Nerina por elegirnos nuevamente. Nos alegra muchísimo saber que tu sobrina disfrutó su primera visita y que Puerto Pirámides la dejó fascinada. También nos pone muy felices que hayan sentido la atención de nuestro equipo. Te esperamos nuevamente!
The company was excellent. With good options and recommendations. Hugo, the guide who accompanied us during the day a phenomenon! Fully recommended.
Muchas gracias por tu reseña y por recomendarnos 🧡 Nos alegra saber que las opciones y recomendaciones fueron útiles y que disfrutaron del día con Hugo, es un fenómeno. Ojalá podamos recibirlos nuevamente por acá.
Super recommended. The extra to see the whales on board is worth every peso. I know it's expensive but it's a unique experience. The rest of the excursion was also good, seeing the whales from the beach is very nice tb. Same as the walks. The guides were super friendly and were telling us the story and animals that appeared along the way.
Muchas gracias por tu reseña y por recomendarnos 🐳 Nos alegra un montón que hayas disfrutado tanto el avistaje embarcado, las ballenas desde la costa y el resto del recorrido, así como la compañía de los guías. Ojalá vuelvan pronto para seguir viviendo experiencias así en la Patagonia.
Excellent experience both with the Animal Travel Enterprise and with nature as we lived an incredible sighting where we had the whale glued to the boat offering a show for 15 minutes.It excites to tears.And the gte of the agency are a luxury, prior to the excursion they communicated with us and provided us with all the necessary info. The same thing during the tour we felt careful and very good the information that the guide gave us, giving rise to our questions.
Muchísimas gracias por tu reseña tan linda y emotiva 🐳 Nos alegra saber que vivieron un avistaje increíble y que se sintieron bien informados y cuidados en todo momento. Un lujo haber sido parte de esa experiencia, ojalá vuelvan pronto.
Excellent experience. Contemplating all our needs and sharing interesting information. The day lent itself to a unique experience.
Muchas gracias por tu reseña y por elegirnos 🧡 Nos alegra mucho saber que se sintieron acompañados, cuidados y que el día se dio perfecto para una experiencia única. Ojalá volvamos a vernos por Puerto Madryn.
