Early in the morning we will depart from Punta Arenas to begin the navigation along the Strait of Magellan, witnessing the sunrise over Tierra del Fuego and passing by the historic Fuerte Bulnes.
Along the route we will pass Cabo Froward, the southernmost point of the continent, where the Cross of the Seas stands. In the marine park, you will have the chance to spot humpback whales, as well as Magellanic penguins, cormorants, albatrosses, sea lions, and occasionally orcas.
The experience also includes a visit to the Helado Glacier on Santa Inés Island and time to enjoy a box lunch before returning to Punta Arenas after approximately 10 hours of sailing.
*While it is true that the season goes from December to March, the start and end of the whale watching is subject to change every year.

*While the probability of sighting is very high, please note that nature is unpredictable, so sightings are not 100% guaranteed.

Nevertheless, as the animal behavior can be unpredictable, the whale watching is not completely guaranteed.
