Description
Whale-watching navigations depart from Puerto Pirámides, heading one or two miles out to sea for an up-close encounter with these majestic creatures. Along the way, the cliffs reveal bustling colonies of cormorants, their nests clinging to the rock as they breed and raise their young, alongside other seabirds characteristic of the Patagonian coast.
Once the boat reaches open waters, the engine falls silent, leaving only the calls of penguins, seagulls, gulls, and cormorants echoing over the waves. It’s a moment of pure stillness, an attentive wait. A flock of birds stirs on the horizon. As the vessel draws near, a flash of silver and white bursts from the sea, followed by the thunderous splash of a whale breaching close by. Excitement ripples through the passengers — voices rise in different languages, children’s laughter mingles with gasps of wonder. To complete the spectacle, dolphins often appear, leaping and playing freely alongside the boat.
The entire experience lasts approximately 60 minutes.
