About this activity

Walk alongside penguins on Isla Magdalena and watch the diverse fauna of Isla Marta

Cruise the Strait of Magellan to the Magdalene and Marta Islands. Magdalene Island hosts one of the most important penguin colonies each year and Marta Island hosts more than 1,500 sea lions. We begin with this unique adventure, after checking in at our office, we head towards Bahia Laredo by transfer to embark on speedboats; for 45 minutes towards Magdalena Island, where we will disembark 1 hour with our guide to know the natural habitat of the Magellanic Penguins, in the largest colony in South America. We continue our journey to Marta Island to see Sea Lions (weather permitting), imperial cormorants and hundreds of southern seagulls. Then return to the pier and Punta Arenas. We will also have the opportunity if luck accompanies us to be able to see Southern Dolphins, Toninas Overas and Sei Whales.
