Excursion with are beautiful landscapes. Great swimming experience with sea lions although a little short. Good meal on a beautiful beach with turquoise water.
It was very very good! We saw the whales several times, it was very nice the walk, the guide Magy was very friendly. We swim with the lions. And the beach was very nice. Lots of food offered. All you have to consider is that it is very cold and windy along the way, especially the first, it was very long. (It is advisable to wear warm clothes)
Excellent crew. Excellent experience. Worth every minute and every dollar spent
This trip was like Paradise for me. The wild life abounded , and our guide and captain always slowed down for us to see pics of dolphins, or leaving sting rays, birds and more. I knew the centerpiece for me would be swimming with sea lions. Amazing, and the snorkeling equipment was excellent. Mid day we had an excellent healthy meal with a variety of choices. I easily met the tour guide Peter at our start location and met our other travelers. I did go solo, but think this would be a great trip for couples (my husband had to miss the trip).
Prior communication with tour managers was smooth, we found the meeting point easily, as did the guide. They care about passenger safety. They explain how to safely perform each activity. The snorkeling with sea lions is spectacular. Lunch was very delicious and was enough. They fulfill what they mention before.
