The guide walked with us through the penguin colony, was informative. During the walk a sea lion was on the beach an we sat down to watch him. A great experience. They also offer an amazing lunch in the restaurant.

It was a magical experience to walk amongst the penguins! We were able to get up close to the penguins. There were penguins everywhere and as far as the eyes can see. The admission is pricey but well worth the money especially since the estancia does a great job caring for and protecting this colony. This penguin tour was the highlight of our time on Peninsula Valdes.
The service is very expensive, the penguins divine, but the service poor. You have to go with your car up to 1000 meters before the place. The guide was very good when he talked about the penguins, but in the middle of the talk, he started a political speech that had nothing to do with the penguins. The bathrooms at the place were dirty.
Being able to meet the penguins in their natural habitat was a unique experience. Furthermore, the guide was very informative and passionate, always seeking the conservation of local fauna. Beautiful excursion!
