Enjoy this amazing two- to three-hour marine shoreline cruise by Zodiac. Along the way, you may spot some of the many seabirds that make their home in these parts -- cormorants, seagulls, South American terns, shearwaters, petrels, oystercatchers and penguins. At Punta Loma, you'll spot sea lions lounging on a secluded beach, whose backdrop is a sheer cliff.
Watch for Kaiser and Paraná Beaches. At the latter, you will see the shipwrecked Folías. Unconcerned cormorants perch on its rusty hull, surveying the marine life -- their lunch -- in the sapphire waters below.
With the southern summer comes a chance of spotting a Commerson's dolphin or a dusky (Fitz Roy) dolphin. Keep your eyes peeled for these tiny, agile sub-species.
The experienced skipper guide will talk about the Welsh settlement on this coast and the visit of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid -- the true story of the famous outlaws' presence in Patagonia.
Notes:
Tour duration may be extended if dolphins are present. Tour operates rain or shine but may be canceled by the operator in the event of extremely bad weather or unsuitable conditions. It is essential that you wear warm, layered clothing to fully enjoy and participate in this excursion; outer layer should be waterproof and windproof. Bring gloves, a warm hat and a scarf. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed. Tour timing can be extended due to fauna watching reasons. Tour can be cancelled on-the-spot due to adverse weather conditions. To participate in this excursion, passengers must walk 0.6 miles from the ship's gangway to the port entrance, where they will access the boat via the beach. Passengers with walking difficulties can take the shuttle bus to the port entrance.
