Dolphin Watching in Puerto Rawson
Day Trip Details
At the indicated time, we'll meet on Marcelino González Avenue, opposite the Puerto Rawson Prefecture. From this pier, we'll take a trip in a semi-rigid boat to try to spot the local wildlife.
We'll begin the trip by going along the mouth of the Chubut River. In this area, if weather conditions are favorable, we'll see the friendly single-haired sea lions. Also, from the boat, we'll be able to spot various Atlantic birds such as seagulls and albatrosses, and we'll admire the famous yellow fleet of Puerto Rawson.
Then, we'll enter the waters of the Atlantic Ocean to watch the famous Patagonian dolphins that usually swim in this area of the southern hemisphere. These cetaceans, also called Commerson's dolphins, have a distinctive whitish-black color. During the cruise, we'll also tell you other interesting facts about these mammals.
After about an hour and 15 minutes of sailing, we'll end the boat ride by returning to the dock of Puerto Rawson.
What is The Boat Like?
It's a semi-rigid boat measuring 12.75 m (41.8 ft) in length and 4.5 m (14,7 ft) in beam, powered by two 250 horsepower engines. It has a capacity for 57 people, including the crew.
Important Info
Please note that although there is a scheduled departure time, the actual departure time will depend on the tide. We'll contact you the day before to confirm the exact time.
Dolphin watching
The coast of Puerto Rawson, located next to the mouth of the Chubut River, is one of the best places in Argentina to see Patagonian dolphins. However, animals are unpredictable. The sighting of a greater or lesser number of dolphins will depend on a variety of factors such as the weather at the time or the reproduction and breeding seasons of the different species.
