Description

Whale Watching in Patagonia
Commencing at the designated hour on Calle José Nogueira in Punta Arenas, we will proceed to Carrera Bay, where we will embark on a boat journey across the serene waters of the Strait of Magellan.
As we initiate our boat trip, prepare to be captivated by the magnificent sunrise over Tierra del Fuego and the historical Fuerte Bulnes. This fortress holds the distinction of being the first Chilean establishment along the Strait of Magellan. The soft illumination from the morning sun will surely mesmerize you!
Our journey will take us past Cape Froward, the southernmost point of the American mainland. From the vantage of the boat, you will observe elephant seals and sea lions lounging on the coastal rocks. You will also have the chance to witness humpback whales that frequent these protected waters, which form part of the Francisco Coloane Marine Park. Additionally, we will get close to the glaciers surrounding Santa Inés Island, allowing you to appreciate these impressive ice formations.
By midday, we will rejuvenate with a delightful lunch served on board, before leisurely returning to Punta Arenas, taking in the stunning vistas of this secluded region of Patagonia throughout the return trip.
The adventure concludes upon our return to the initial meeting point.
