Boat trip in Puerto Pirámides – Sea lions and seabirds
I experienced a short, intense, and very Patagonian trip from Puerto Pirámides. This boat tour explores the coast of the Valdés Peninsula to observe marine wildlife in its natural habitat: a large breeding colony of sea lions and a huge variety of seabirds, all in a unique natural environment.
It's an ideal experience to add to your trip when you want to be on the water, see wildlife and enjoy the coastal scenery without taking a full-day excursion.
Excursion route
The navigation is done in a rubber boat and the tour focuses on the coast of Puerto Pirámides, with a visit to the local sea lion colony and observation of seabirds such as seagulls, cormorants, oystercatchers, among others, in addition to the entire coast.
There is a possibility of seeing dolphins if they are nearby, but you don't go out looking for them.
Departures are subject to tides and weather, so schedules may change from day to day.
