“To be able to get close to pengiuns without harming them is a real treat. We got to see Gentoo and Megellanic pengiuns and 1 King. The tour guides were excellent. The only problem with this tour was the lack of communication on where to meet which we found out from the tourism office. Also the description of this excursion didn't mention it was a 90 minus ride each way. But it was still worth it The”
Walk among Magellanic penguins on Magdalena Island from Punta Arenas, with bilingual guides, boat views, wildlife, and practical meeting-point tips.
“The island and the penguins were great but the trip was terrible. First off since it was advertised as shore excursion we assumed that we would have transportation. Nope After having their information translated by a taxi man we found out that we needed to take a taxi to the car ferry port We did get there on time but no one was there to help us. Someone else told us what to do. The car ferry cost $50 the taxi costs $10 and we paid $230 for what????? Don't waste your money.”
