This is followed by another stop in the town of Puerto Piramides where, depending on the season, you can take a whale watching tour (optional, own expense) or a snorkeling trip (optional, own expense).

Depending on the season, weather and the tides, we'll be visiting the following places in a different order or combined with other stops: Caleta Valdes, Punta Norte and Punta Cantor to observe elephant seals, penguins and sea lions.

The killer whale can be seen from Punta Norte, but the best times to spot them are in March and April or during September from Caleta Valdes (less frequently).
