Description

We will depart from Punta Arenas towards Agua Fresca Bay, where you will receive a safety briefing before boarding the Zodiac boat that will take us offshore.

During the one-hour navigation, just a few meters from the coast, you will have the chance to observe Peale’s dolphins. These playful animals often approach the boat, offering unforgettable moments for photography and nature encounters.

At the end, we will return to the beach to change clothes and then head back to Punta Arenas, closing an authentic experience in the southern seas of Chile.

*While the probability of sighting is very high, please note that nature is unpredictable, so sightings are not 100% guaranteed.
