While you can’t reach the island by walking (in order not to interfere with marine fauna) you can take a boat that will give you a tour around it at a fairly convenient price.
I recommend wearing a pair of binoculars to observe the humboldt penguins nestling on site. The best time of year to appreciate them is in summer.

It's a beautiful experience, a must if you are in Algarrobo. It makes you appreciate more the natural life, to be more conscious about the damage the pollution does to the animals.
It's a experience for teenagers, families with little kids, eldery people too.
An thanks to the people who work on boats on a daily basis, because they are the ones that makes possible to be near the island.

We were there in what is the off season for the penguins. A lovely boat ride, but disappointing when there were no penguins.
