          Not worth the time this time of year
          Very long travel time to not see much. Wrong time for elephant seals. We saw a few juvenile elephant seals. Then went to a small penguin colony which was lovely. Guide was good lunch was awful!

          A perfect tour
          It was a perfect arranged trip. Sol was such a great guide, and the driver Nelson drove safe. I and my 8 year old son had a perfect day, and we came back in good time before ship departure back to Buenos Aires. Thank you so much!!

          Great experience for our family!
          Amazing guides and experience! Highly recommend! So many penguins and they were so close. It was great for everyone in the family and they got us back on time as promised. They also got us there ahead of all of the cruise line buses. Amazing!

          Great trip
          The guide was knowledgeable and explained a lot. We got very close to penguins and had amazing views elephant seals, sea lions and orcas. The lunch wasn’t great but we didn’t care about that! The group was small - 6 people which was nice too!

          Great Patagonia wildlife tour
          Patagonia is vast, and impressive. Guide Mary was wonderful, fluent in English and extremely knowledge about the area and its wildlife. Long drives, some on a bumpy gravel road, were needed, but getting to see penguins up close, and young elephant seals basking on the shore were worth the drive. We also got an overview of Puerto Madryn, with info about its people and industry. Definitely recommended.

          Up close Penguin Experience
          We got to get so close with the Penguins and see them in their natural habitat. It was amazing to see that many penguins. Nacho was a fantastic tour guide. He gave us all the background we needed on the penguins themselves and we felt prepared to interact with them and understand when to give them space. The only reason I didn’t want to give it five stars is that the description said we would have the option of choosing the museum or welsh tea service and we could decide on the day of. We learned the evening before that was not the case and the only option was the museum. Unfortunately, this was after we had went to the museum on our own.

          Fun to see so many Penguins
          We took this tour while on a Viking Cruise and it was an awesome tour. The Penguins were amazing to see so many. It was easily thousands of Penguins on the beach. Many taking dips in the water to stay cool and some trying to hide in the sand as it was about 97F that day. The one thing that we were told and also signs informing us, is the Penguins have the right way to cross the path, so stop and let them through. One spot 2 Penguins were coming to the path, and a few of us stopped and were waiting for them to cross. It was funny, as they kept looking like they were waiting for us to cross, looking to the left and right. They were more polite than some humans.

          Great experience of the local wildlife
          Great day with different opportunities to see the wildlife of the area. Christian, the guide, was excellent in coordinating it all and in providing extremely detailed information about the area and its wildlife. Dolphin boat trip was really worth doing but was an extra cost on the day - need to budget for that.

          Awesome experience
          Got to see so many penguins and sea lions! We began with a hotel pick up and we stopped somewhere for a bathroom stop and then headed over to a beach that had sea lions that we got to get close to. Afterwards we headed to a small restaurant to have lunch before going to see the penguins!

          Great tour, good value, and the best whale watching!
          This was an excellent tour, and reasonably priced. The tour guide really knew all about the area and explained everything very well. The driver also kept a keen eye for wildlife so we didn’t miss a thing. The group size was small and the van was comfortable. I was picked up exactly on time. The whale watching trip was AMAZING! Hundreds of whales and the best boat captain. He was passionate about his job and obviously loved the whales. I would highly recommend this tour.

          Thank goodness for the Blue Balloon!
          We literally booked this via email direct with Diego about 12 hours before we arrived. Gosh! It was as smooth as silk meeting him on the mile long pier(thank goodness for that blue balloon! Roberto was our driver/guide and he was warm, friendly, well versed and just a delight to travel with. His knowledge was incredible on so many levels. I highly recommend this company!

          Great tour
          It was a long drive from the port of Puerto Madryan but we saw a lot more than penguins on the ride! Amelia was a great guide, she was fun and knowledgeable.

        Fabulous excursion with Sentir Patagonia.
        Imagine celebrating New Years Eve with a million Magellanic Penguins and sea lions in their natural habit. We also got to see Maras, Guanacos and Choiques on beautiful Peninsula Valdes. Thanks to Sentir Patagonia, who took on this excursion, we got to see up close Magellanic Penguins and learn about their mating habits and migration. We also got to visit Estancia San Lorenzo, a working sheep farm. While there, we had an exquisite barbeque. From Estancia San Lorenzo we drove to Punta Norte which was the crown jewel of our trip. The ocean was a beautiful topaz blue, and the beach was bathed in sunlight with hundreds of Sea Lions basking in the sun. We didn't want to leave. Thank you, Sentir Patagonia!

        I contacted this company directly for 9 of us from the cruise ship, everything went to plan for meeting up, nice clean van, and knowledgeable guide Nora who spoke great English, no whales about this time of year but plenty of close up penguins and elephant seals & seal lions.
