We enjoyed with my wife a very beautiful day together with the agency that gave us this experience in tiptoe! Being able to see so closely and know more about Magellanic penguins, filled our souls:). Very good vibes all the staff

We did this tour a little bit by chance, because we wanted to see the whales and because of a lot of wind, we changed for the Penguin Tour in tip tomb. It was a hit. We loved seeing these little animals so close up. Beautiful

The guide was very professional and made the excursion very interesting. I would recommend Rustica and George for their skills.

Another experience we did with the agency, super recommended as well as whale watching, is this one where one can walk next to penguins in their habitat. It is recommended

We loved the possibility of going to see the penguins and sea lions, we had never had them so close. It's a wonderful experience. I recommend it if you go to that region
