Itinerary and highlights
Our snorkeling with sea lions tour is an utterly unmissable part of any trip to Puerto Madryn.
This activity is only possible in three places in the world, however the proximity of the sea lions to the coast makes it particularly memorable in Puerto Madryn.
The sea lions bob around in the water as they wait for us to hop in, the whole experience making for an unforgettable trip.
The tour starts in Puerto Madryn where you will receive your equipment to snorkel. Once equipped, follow your guide and board a boat to reach the Punta Loma Provincial Reserve. We will be sailing past a collection of beaches, cliffs, shipwrecks and we may observe whales or dolphins regarding the season.
When we arrive at the reserve, our professional guide will explain us what we’re going to do: how to snorkel, our kit and its floatability, any important do’s and don’ts within the reserve.
You will be able to move in the water to observe sea lions in their natural environment during approximately 50 minutes. A light wetsuit, mask and snorkel will be of use to watch these nice members of the Patagonian sea fauna.
