5.00This tour was absolutely awesome. Fernando got us there safely and was very pleasant to chat with and knowledgeable about his home area. Diego met us right at the pier holding a blue balloon just like he said. Would highly recommend.
Punta Tombo was superb

5.00Nelson and Sol were great We weren’t allowed off the ship for over an hour due to formalities but they were patiently waiting at the port. Punta Tombo was great fun seeing all the penguins in their natural habitat. Sol was an excellent tour guide with a lot of knowledge.
