Snorkeling with Sea Lions
Snorkeling with Sea Lions (half day)
This tour is the new attraction for our visitors, as it is something that can be experienced only in 3 places in the World!
Puerto Madryn is one of them. The area chosen for snorkelling with Sea Lions is Punta Loma, a natural reserve located approximately 15 km away from the city of Puerto Madryn, and getting there will take us 25 minutes by ship.
All passengers will receive a Snorkelling training course that includes previous practice of snorkelling. It will be carried out at the FOLIAS shipwreck. Once it has been completed and the skills have been learnt, we will approach the protected area of Punta Loma to enjoy this exciting activity.
Existing regulations allow us to spend an hour in the area with a maximum of 18 people, apart from the Instructor.
It is not necessary to know how to swim !
Available: All the year round, from Monday to Sunday
Departute time: 09.00hs (The departure time corresponds to the environmental cycles and habits of the sea lions)
