About this tour

We start the adventure early in the morning, picking up passengers from their centrally located hotels in comfortable vehicles.

Our first stop is the Rawson Port, where we embark to spot the Patagonian Dolphin, also known as the Pío Dolphin or Tonina. This small and charming dolphin is an endemic species, with males measuring less than 1.45 meters and females that can reach up to 1.52 meters. With luck, we will be able to see them in action, performing acrobatics in their natural habitat. These dolphins are very active and love to swim quickly on the surface, jump and surf the waves. This sighting is a unique opportunity as this is the only place in the world where they can be seen.


Next, we headed to the city of Trelew, where we visited the Egidio Feruglio Paleontological Museum. Opened in 1990, this museum is the most important of its kind in South America and is famous for its impressive display of unique species. It houses nearly 40,000 fossils, including replicas and originals of dinosaurs such as the Patagotitan mayorum, the largest dinosaur in the world. Here, visitors have the opportunity to see dinosaur fossils and other ancient creatures, while understanding and learning about the entire geological history of the region.

Finally, in the afternoon, we return to the central hotels, taking with us unforgettable memories of this incredible excursion that combines nature, history and culture.

Frequently asked questions

For the dolphin-watching and fossil-site exploration excursion in Puerto Madryn, it's advisable to wear comfortable clothing suitable for outdoor activities. Consider bringing a windproof and waterproof jacket, as the weather in the region can be unpredictable. Sturdy shoes or hiking boots are ideal for hiking on uneven terrain. Don't forget sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun during the hike. A small backpack can also be useful for carrying water and snacks.

Yes, hotel pickup and drop-off is included in the dolphin and dinosaur excursion, making your experience in Puerto Madryn easier. Be sure to confirm the exact pickup time and location when booking your activity. This service allows travelers to enjoy peace of mind and comfort from the start of their adventure, without worrying about transportation. If your accommodation is not within the pickup area, you will be informed of the closest available meeting point.

Indeed, the excursion includes a qualified tour guide who will accompany you throughout the dolphin-watching tour and visit to the dinosaur fossil sites in Puerto Madryn. The guide will provide valuable information about the marine fauna, as well as the historical and paleontological context of the fossils. They will also answer any questions you may have throughout the activity. Having an expert guide significantly enhances the experience, allowing you to learn and enjoy every moment of the excursion to the fullest.

While Puerto Madryn is famous for its marine biodiversity, the presence of dolphins can vary depending on the season. Generally, the best time for dolphin watching is during the spring and summer months, when sea conditions are more favorable and animal activity is more frequent. However, the success of the sighting also depends on climatic and natural factors that can be unpredictable. I recommend checking with the operator before booking to find out the most current conditions and the probability of sighting on your desired date.

No prior experience or special preparation is required to participate in the dolphin-watching and fossil exploration excursion in Puerto Madryn. The activity is designed to be accessible to most people, including children and adults. While prior knowledge of paleontology or marine ecology is not necessary, it is essential to follow the instructions and safety precautions provided by the guides throughout the tour. Travelers should be prepared to walk on rocky terrain and, in some cases, take short boat trips.

Aventure inoubliable entre mer et terre

Ce tour Dauphins et Dinosaures, c'était juste incroyable ! J'ai eu la chance d'observer des dauphins de près, un spectacle magique. Les paysages autour de Puerto Madryn sont à couper le souffle, et la visite du musée paléontologique est fascinante. On apprend plein de trucs sur les dinosaures qui ont habité la région. Franchement, l'organisation était top et notre guide super sympa et passionné. Je recommande à fond ce tour pour ceux qui veulent découvrir la beauté et l'histoire de cette région unique d'Argentine.
