It's a magic place

The boat excursion for bird watching costs $46,000, if it is high season it is better to book in advance, in November you can do it there directly, the entrance to the park costs $3,000, the cheapest way to get there is with a bus $1,300, renting a car cost us $60,000 plus gas, a tour charges you $46,000 per person.

Unique

We went to whale watching it's amazing... But it was a very windy day and there were very big waves. The whole decomposed vessel vomiting we had to become... conclusion before going a Dramamine I would have avoided such a situation.. amazing scenery something to do no doubt
