MAGDALENA ISLAND

 
 

We sail daily through the Strait of Magellan to the Magdalena and Marta Islands. Magdalena Island welcomes more than 60,000 penguins each year and Marta Island is home to more than 1,500 sea lions. After checking in at the office we went by transfer to Bahía Laredo to embark to Magdalena Island. There we will disembark for 1 hour with the guide to learn about the natural habitat of the Magellanic penguins, in the largest colony in Chile. We continue our journey to Isla Marta to spot sea lions (if weather conditions allow), imperial cormorants and hundreds of southern gulls. If luck is with us we can also spot southern dolphins, toninas overas and Sei whales. Then we return to the pier and Punta Arenas.
