Shore Excursion Punta Tombo Cruise Passengers

Very relaxing bus ride to our destination. Not too much to see on the trip but worth the drive to see penguins.

Choose this one! Once in a lifetime experience! This was a Bucket List for me! So glad we had an extra afternoon on our cruise (Thanks, Captain Leo!) Because the other excursion we picked was just "okay". CHOOSE THIS ONE!!

Great excursion and great value! Valerie was our tour guide. She’s was very knowledgeable, friendly, and overall great. This excursion truly allowed you to get up close with the penguins keeping a courteous distance. Overall 5 ⭐️

It was a long ride, but very comfortable. Valerie was pleasant and informative. She made the ride go by more quickly

We were able to literally walk with the penguins in the reserve of Magellanic penguins. The provider contact, Romina provided WhatsApp communication in addition to communicating via Tripadvisor to ensure we get clear understanding of where and how to meet, address questions, and get our diet restrictions as she provided lunch that included ham and cheese sandwich, empanadas, sweets, apple, and water. We ended up booking a second tour with this company as our cruise ship docked one day in advance of schedule. Romena addressed our needs immediately and even gave us a private tour of Peninsula Valdez with a wildlife photographer! That was such a treat!

We arrived at Punta Tombo well before alll the other cruise passengers travelling on the more expensive cruise deals ……some were arriving whilst we were finishing our walk so got great photos before the big crowds arrived. Do consider your choices when making this trip highly recommend

wonderful excursion . excellent guide who was very knowledgeable. nice packed lunch . had a wonderful time with the penguins. highly recommended

The tour was exactly what was explained in the itinerary. Please realize it is a 2 1/2 hour mini bus ride (kind of cramped) to get there. We had to take time to buy our tickets and use the restroom, etc. We ended up having one hour at Punta Tomba. We saw a lot of penguins, but if you’ve already been to Magellanic Island, that would have been enough for us. Nothing was wrong with the tour, but realize you do spend five hours in the mini bus. We got back to the port on time, but we did not have any time to tour the city.

wonderful tour guide. small group, we had 16 people in our group. comfortable, AC equipped van. We had a box lunch on the way back. though I wish we had more time (1hr 45 min ) in Punta Tombo to see penguins.

They worked with the cruise ship and made sure we were back in time but also ensuring we had the most time w the penguins The lunch was a nice treat and the information our guide Valerie shared was interesting.

Go to the end of the penguin trail and work your way back. There is a tendency to take so many pictures at the beginning you may end up not having time to make it to the end. Great guide and very nice, substantial lunch.

Great for cruise ship passengers. You will see the most penguins doing more things while you are walking. Within 2 min from your drop off location, you will start to see them.

This tour was well-organized and perfect for cruise ship passengers. There was good communication with the company and they picked us up and returned us with plenty of time to the end of the very long pier where our Princess ship ported in Puerto Madryn. The drive to Punta Tombo was quite long, however it was well-worth it to get to see the large colony of Magellanic penguins nesting there. It was exciting to see so many penguins up close and learn how they live. Our guide talked about them on the drive so we were informed ahead of time. There were many guanacos in the preserve as well. Beautiful views of the ocean and the Patagonian desert. The bus was mid-sized and comfortable and there were plenty of bathroom stops on the way.

Great trip - beautiful coastline and so many penguins and sea lions. It is a long bus ride but worth it,

Daniel was an excellent guide! He met us at the pier & off we went for a 2 hour drive to Punta Tombo to visit the Penguins. He was a wealth of information on the history & culture & economy of the area. He accompanied us on our walk through the park & pointed out the best places to see the penguins & take photos. He also showed us some of the other animals around the park. He was very aware that we had a certain time to return to the ship & made sure we got back in time. Wonderful excursion!

Enjoyed the trip to the reserve, even if it was a long way. Many penguins were visible, close and far. It's a must see if in Puerto Madryn.

We were scheduled on our cruise to go to Las Malvinas/the Falklands and had planned an excursion there to see some Penguins up close. Bad weather caused our cruise line to skip that stop so they add an extra day in Puerto Madryn but all of the ships excursions were sold out. So we tried Viatour and found this firm. They were exceedingly helpful at arranging a last minute tour for us. It wound up being just the two of us getting a private tour and so much better than an excursion with a huge bus full of people! Our driver and guide Sergio, was awesome and spoke very good English. He was also very good at spotting things to see and pointing them out or we never would have seen the Ostriches on the beach! A much better value, service and experience than the excursions offered by the ship! Highly recommended! Punta Tombo was an amazing experience and should not be missed! Romina who handled the booking was great too and checked in on us at arrival.

Excellent excursion. Had booked the excursion from the cruise port. The guide was waiting at the beginning of the pier with a sign with my name on it. Driven with a Van together with 2 others to Punta Combo. Guide gave clear information and the driver drove excellently. Journey there took over 2 hours (including short pee stop) as well as back. In between stopped for other animals. Experience with the penguins was excellent. Seeing the animals up close in their natural environment. The lunch box with water after the visit was also good. All in all an excellent excursion and is well worth the price!
