Description

We sail daily through the Strait of Magellan to the Magdalena and Marta Islands. Magdalena Island welcomes over 60,000 penguins each year, and Marta Island is home to more than 1,500 sea lions. We'll kick off this unique adventure after check-in at our office. We'll head to Bahía Laredo by transfer to board speedboats for a 45-minute ride to Isla Magdalena. Once there, we'll spend an hour with our guide to discover the natural habitat of the Magellanic penguins, in one of the largest colonies in South America. We'll continue our journey to Isla Marta to spot sea lions (weather permitting), imperial cormorants, and hundreds of southern seagulls. Then we'll head back to the dock and Punta Arenas. If we're lucky, we'll also get a chance to spot Peale's dolphins, Guiana dolphins, and sei whales.
