MARINE ANIMALS-WATCHING: SOUTHERN RIGHT WHALES, PENGUINS, ORCAS, SEA LIONS, SEA ELEPHANTS...

Only in Chubut you will have the chance to approach huge whales and playful dusky and Commerson´s dolphins .

WHALE WATCHING
Boats trips leave from Puerto Pirámides on Peninsula Valdés every year from June through December. In this beautiful seaside resort you can choose from six whale watching companies to take you out to sea to encounter the Southern Right Whale. This whale visits the quiet waters of our Gulfs to mate and breed. To watch a female with its calf is doubtlessly one of the most wonderful shows ever. Having the certainty that they are under protection, and that their population increases steadily is just superb. The trip will last approximately one hour, according to the location of the animals. The small boats approach them carefully. Then the whale does the watching. She even ends up swimming underneath the boat: the best chance to contemplate them and take photos due to the transparency of the water.

DOLPHIN WATCHING
From Puerto Madryn there are organized boat tours to the Dusky dolphins, one of the most acrobatic on the planet. They move about in small groups from 8 to 12 animals together with other groups. Once found, they swim along with the boat with quick jumps in company of different birds, and occasionally penguins and sea lions. Enjoy these half-day trips from December through March, enjoy life freedom.

COMMERSON´S DOLPHINS WATCHING
The Commerson dolphin is the smallest dolphin in the world. Boat tours leave from Playa Unión, a seaside resort by Rawson. This mammal is black and white, approximately one and half meter long and moves in groups from 2 to 10 animals. Quick and active swimmers, they can be sighted from April through December jumping close by the boat and even surfing the waves towards the shore and in the trail left by the boat. Commerson´s dolphins are protected by environmental policies in Chubut and object of research studies. For this reason you will occasionally find biology researchers among the passengers.
