Embark on the Magdalena and Marta Islands Speedboat Navigation and discover the incredible wildlife of the Strait of Magellan, with sea lion colonies and thousands of Magellanic penguins in their natural habitat.

We will meet at the designated point to begin the journey aboard the speedboat. The first stop will be Marta Island, home to a colony of sea lions that you can observe and photograph from the deck.

We will then continue to Magdalena Island, where we will disembark to walk along a marked trail leading to the historic lighthouse. Along the way, you will be surrounded by more than 30,000 Magellanic penguins, an unforgettable experience in Patagonia.

Finally, we will return to the boat and navigate back to Punta Arenas, closing a unique activity that combines nature, photography, and adventure.

*If it’s not possible to visit the Magdalena Island because of weather conditions, once sailed, we will make a 50% refund of the activity’s price.

FAQ

• In what period of the year the navigation is made?

The Magellan penguins are migratory birds and are in the island from the beginning of October to the beginning of April, period in which the navigation is made.

• Which time of the year is it possible to see a bigger number of penguins?

The larger number of penguins is seen in December and January, months in which the colony is formed by about 40,000 specimens.

• How far can I see the penguins during the walking in the Magdalena Island?

The penguin colony in the island is big. As this is a small island, it is possible to see penguins with a less than a meter distance during the walking. It is common that the penguins enter to the track while you are walking. However, it is strictly forbidden touching the birds.

• What type of boat is used for the navigation?

The navigation is made in three boats of different sizes, with capacity for 33, 46 and 66 passengers, respectively. The boat that we will use for a specific departure will depend on the size of the group.
