We saw lots of humpback whales!
The boat was comfortable but it was hard to see when people crowded the bow and the upper deck.
Beautiful scenery

Excellent tour to see incredible views and marine life. Best whale watching tour I have had, and seeing the magallanes penguins was amazing. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend this a “must” tour while visiting Punta Arenas!

Wonderful full day tour with plenty of wildlife sightings: whales, sea lion and penguins. Super friendly staff, well organized and very informative. Captain gave us an up close glacier experience. Highly recommended.

DO NOT BOOK THIS. The tour company had absolutely horrible communication. We got into Punta Arenas the day before the tour and just happened to stop in at the meeting place for the tour. We were told it would be starting at 730am instead of 4am the next day. We received no external communication about this, only found out by talking to the representative and she mentioned it. The next day we showed up at 730am ready to go, only to find out the tour had been completely cancelled. Again, no external communication had been sent out to let people know it was cancelled, so many angry customers were there trying to get refunds or re-book the tour. Don't waste your time. This company is awful.

Amazing! Takes a few hours to get to the whales but wow was it worth it. The weather was rainy but that didn’t impact the experience. Boat was larger and did well in the choppy waters. I recommend to anyone traveling to Chile!

We saw so many whales, seals, birds, and even dolphins! The crew was very informative and did their best to make the experience memorable. The coffee and tea was much was very needed with the early start and it being a chilly, and 2 other meals were included as well

Rodrigo was our tour guide for both the Whale/Glacier tour as well as the Penguin Island tour the day before and he is such an incredible guide and person! I am always the person to ask a hundred questions during a tour, and he patiently, enthusiastically and knowledgeably answered all of my questions. The Captain and the crew on the catamaran were so friendly and fun as well! I even got to sit in the Captain's seat, which was thrilling. On the tour we were lucky to see so many whales!! We got so close to the glacier and had our lunch there as well. This tour is absolutely worth the cost.

This trip was amazing experience, we had lunch next to the glacier, drinking pisco sour /whiskey with ice cubes from glacier and travelling around fjords watching whales, pinguins, sea lions and different types of birds

Une superbe journée, nous avons vue et approché beaucoup de baleines, un personnel présent et sympa ,très bien

Experiência única.
Avistamos famílias inteiras de baleias jubarte, leões marinhos, pinguins de Magalhães, gorgorões, até um condor.
Visita também ao glaciar Sarmiento.
Navegação em catamarã muito confortável, com uma equipe super atenciosa, desde o embarque, durante a navegação, ajudando nos avistamentos das baleias. Acompanha um guia que explica todo o trajeto, os animais, os detalhes da região, em espanhol e inglês.
Ótima experiência. Recomendo muito.

O passeio é lindo, nos leva a locais impressionantes, ao encontro de baleias, pinguins e outros amigos!! O barco é moderno, organizado, limpo. A tripulação é muito simpática, eficiente e amistosa. Todos estão sempre disponíveis a nos ajudar. Aprovadissimos!
Apenas o check in foi muito lento no escritório. Chegamos pontualmente, porém saimos após 1,5h
