Amazing Penguins Tour and experience
Amazing Penguins experience. The Punta Tombo tour is highly organized and Santiago is an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable, polite, honest and he was able to take us to the Penguins before the buses of tourist arrived. Very good lunch too. Encounters with the Penguins is an amazing experience!

Great tour with a great guide!
Great private tour! We really enjoyed our tour guide, Dori. She really added a lot to our experience. The penguins are of course, adorable. We had plenty of time with them and a nice lunch on top of it. The cost was less than the huge bus groups off the ship and we had the benefit of a private tour. Highly recommend this tour and Dori as your guide!

We were met at the ship...
We were met at the ship and were able to leave right away to Punto Tombo. We were ready to leave as the cruise ship buses arrived. And for an additional fee we were also able to go to Punto Loma.

Very good excursion
Very good and educational excursion. Excellent service from Aline in coordination and Ramiro and Laura, as driver and guide. I suggest changing the place we went for tea in Gaiman, as the specialties offered were mediocre.
