We went at end of march, so no chicks and we were told that there would be fewer magallenic penguins than usual. But there seemed like a hell of a lot to someone who has only seen a few in Colchester zoo! Amazing experience getting up close and personal with these endearing little birds who seem as interested in you... More

Before the trip we were also considering other penquin tours, since I have seen photos of other tour groups landing on the island. I don't know whether the landing by other groups is legal or not, but I can now confirm that this is the only tour that can land on the island and walk among the penquin colony. It... More

If you like (or love) penguins, this is a must. You take a quick boat ride to the island where there are thousands of penguins. Your guide takes you for a hike (actually a slow walk so you don't scare the birds) around part of the island where you see the penguins eating, sleeping, swimming, walking, and... A great, great...

This tour us a combination bus and boat excursion. The bus portion is a total of 3 hours (1.5 in each direction)...almost two on a bumpy dirt road. This uncomfortable portion is interrupted by a stop to sle and photograph trees which have been deformed by the wind. Not sure why this stop is included at all...it was too quick... More

Imagine walking on an island surrounded by hundreds of penguins! Sounds pretty awesome, right? The Penguin Rookery Visit with Pira Tour was easily one of the best experiences I have ever had. After a scenic bus ride and a short boat ride, you have about an hour to walk around the island, take pictures, and watch the funny little birds... More

We almost didn't do this but am glad we made the effort to do the penguin walking tour as it is def one of my top experiences in Argentina!

What an amazing experience, even the bumpy hour and a half mininus drive was worth it, great scenery. Found the museum very interesting too. But the best was yet to come! After a short boat ride out to the island we were close up to the penguins which was one of the highlights of our whole trip, especially as we... More

We did a tour to walk with the Penquins through Pira Tours. Our guide Anna was excellent and the tour is highly recommended for anyone going to this part of Argentina.

The dang penguins are SO cute and yes this tour is expensive when you 1st look at the Pira website, but when you see these cuties up close and personal, it is so worth it. I booked the tour online with Pira and since they don't have a secure online payment thing I decided not to give out my credit... More
