Loved it

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.

Wonderful visit to a huge penguin colony.

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.
