Adventure Tips

Bring binoculars for wildlife

Enhance your whale watching and sea lions viewing with a good pair of binoculars to catch distant action.

Wear layered clothing

Patagonia's coastal weather can be unpredictable; layers help you adjust to wind and sun exposure aboard the boat.

Arrive on time for pickup

The tour operates on a fixed schedule; promptness ensures you don’t miss departure from Puerto Madryn or the port.

Protect against sun exposure

Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat for the open deck during sailing—sunlight reflects off the water intensifying UV exposure.
