Experience a guided tour departing from Puerto Madryn, where visitors can observe penguins in their native environment at the renowned Punta Tombo Magellanic Penguin Colony, one of the largest such colonies globally. This exclusive opportunity allows for shared tours among cruise ship passengers.

The Punta Tombo National Reserve, situated as the world's largest colony of Magellanic penguins, beckons visitors eager to explore the vast Patagonian aridity en route. Commencing the journey from Puerto Madryn, a 170-kilometer expedition unfolds, leading one to Punta Tombo.

Upon arrival, immerse oneself within the Interpretation Center, meticulously designed to elucidate the lifecycle stages of the penguins and their native habitat. Proceeding into the park, embark upon a 1.5-kilometer trail that begins amidst the Patagonian steppe and culminates in the coastal zone where penguins traverse from the ocean onto the land.

Engage in observing this species as they diligently construct their nests, ensuring the fulfillment of their reproductive cycle and nurturing their offspring. Marvel at the expansive colony, its nest sites scattered throughout each quadrant of the expanse.

Witness the harmonious coexistence between these enchanting creatures and their rodent companions and seabirds like kelp gulls. Occasionally, guanacos and choiques may also grace the scene. Post-tour, return to the port for a timely disembarkment prior to the ship's departure.

This excursion is exclusively reserved for cruise passengers visiting Puerto Madryn aboard the Norwegian Cruise line (Norwegian Star), Celebrity Cruise line (Celebrity Eclipse), Princess Cruise Line (Sapphire Princess), or Holland America Cruise line (Ms Oosterdam).
