We sail daily through the Strait of Magellan in Chile, heading towards Magdalena and Marta Islands. Magdalena Island welcomes over 120,000 penguins each year, while Marta Island is home to more than 1,500 sea lions.
Itinerary
We begin this incredible experience with check-in at our office, followed by a transfer to Bahía Laredo. From there, we board speedboats and navigate for 45 minutes to Magdalena Island, where we will explore for an hour alongside our guide, discovering the natural habitat of the Magellanic Penguins in the largest colony in South America. Next, we continue to Marta Island to observe sea lions (weather permitting), imperial cormorants, and a great variety of austral gulls. Finally, we return to the dock and Punta Arenas, with the chance to spot Southern Dolphins, Peale’s Dolphins, and Sei Whales if luck is on our side.
