What is the best time to see whales in Puerto Madryn?
The whale season in Puerto Madryn runs from June to December, with the best months between September and November, when southern right whales come closer to the coast. We organize boat tours from Puerto Pirámides so you can experience this unforgettable encounter up close.
What excursions can't I miss in Puerto Madryn?
Some of the most recommended excursions are:
- Whale watching (in season).
- Peninsula Valdés, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
- Penguin watching at Punta Tombo (from September to April).
- Snorkeling with sea lions at Punta Loma.
Do I need to book in advance?
We strongly recommend booking well in advance, especially during the high season (September to March), as availability is limited and last-minute reservations may result in missed tours or inconvenient transfer schedules.
Can I pay by credit card or in installments?
Yes, we accept payments by credit card, debit card, bank transfers, and other electronic methods. We also offer interest-free installments on certain tours or special promotions.
What clothes should I bring for the excursions?
Depending on the season, we generally recommend:
- Comfortable, warm clothing, especially in winter.
- Waterproof or windbreaker jacket for boat excursions.
- Closed, non-slip footwear.
- Sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses (even in winter).
Can I take the excursions if I'm traveling with children or older adults?
Yes, many of our tours are suitable for all ages. Some activities have restrictions (such as snorkeling with sea lions), but we always look for alternatives to ensure everyone in your group enjoys the experience. Please let us know if you're traveling with young children or people with reduced mobility so we can offer the best options for your needs.

Besides whales and penguins, you can also see:
- Sea lions and elephant seals.
- Orcas (especially between March and April).
- Dolphins, guanacos, maras, rheas, and various seabirds.
Is it necessary to rent a car to get around Puerto Madryn?
Not required. Numerous excursions depart directly from accommodations or the Madryn city center. Should you prefer greater flexibility for independent exploration, we can assist with coordinating vehicle rentals.
