Today we will embark together on this fascinating journey through the waters of the Strait of Magellan to discover the enigmatic Magdalena Island, a natural paradise in the Punta Arenas region. This sailing experience will immerse us in the natural beauty and rich wildlife that inhabits this remote island.

 

We will start from Punta Arenas and check in at the South Bus Terminal in the city (Av. Colon 842). From there, a shuttle will take us to the Arturo Prat Pier, where we will begin to breathe in the anticipation of a unique experience. At the time you choose, whether in the morning at 7:00 a.m. or in the afternoon at 1:30 p.m., our team will be ready to welcome you and begin this exploratory adventure.

 

The long-awaited moment arrives with the departure from the Arturo Prat Pier. On board, our bilingual guide will share fascinating information about the Strait of Magellan and the wonders that await us at the Los Pingüinos Natural Monument. Departure begins at either 8:00 a.m. or 2:30 p.m.

 

From now on, enjoy the sea breeze and panoramic views as you sail the Strait of Magellan. The coastal landscape, with its steep cliffs and the vastness of the ocean, creates a unique atmosphere of exploration.

 

We sail for approximately an hour and a half through the waters of the Strait of Magellan, immersed in a breathtaking seascape. During the journey, we enjoy our guide`s narration, enriching the experience with interesting facts about the region`s fauna and flora.

 

One of the highlights comes when we arrive at the majestic Magdalena Island at approximately 10:30 a.m. or 5:00 p.m. Upon arrival at Magdalena Island, we will be greeted by the majesty of the local fauna. The island is home to one of the largest penguin colonies in the region, where these charming island inhabitants welcome us with their unique behavior.

 

We will walk along the island`s trails for approximately an hour, where we will come face-to-face with friendly Magellanic penguins. We will observe their natural habitats, their playful interactions, and capture enchanting moments while enjoying their coastal environment. We will also be able to observe the life of the northern gulls, black-browed albatrosses, and imperial cormorants up close. The island is a wildlife sanctuary, and every moment reveals the harmony of nature.

 

We will explore the picturesque corners of this beautiful Magdalena Island and capture the natural beauty with our cameras. From coastal landscapes to seabirds, every corner offers a unique photography opportunity.

 

After this unique experience on the island, we will embark again to return to the Punta Arenas Pier. The landing is scheduled for 12:00 am or 6:30 pm, culminating a day full of discoveries and connection with the region`s marine life. Never forget to be respectful of the natural environment and follow the guides` instructions to preserve wildlife.

Upon arrival at the pier, we will walk independently from the pier to our hotel in the city.

 

We invite you to experience the excitement of coming face-to-face with penguins at the Los Pingüinos Natural Monument. Join us and give yourself the opportunity to immerse yourself in the wonder of Patagonian nature.
