Celebrity & Oosterdam: Puerto Madryn City Tour & Punta Loma｜Argentina

This exclusive shore excursion is designed for cruise passengers who want to explore Puerto Madryn in a deeper and more comfortable way than standard city tours allow. You can choose to enjoy this experience as a regular group tour or as a completely private service, available in your own language and fully adjusted to your ship’s arrival and departure times for a stress-free day.

Your journey begins with a direct pickup at the pier to start an extended city tour through the northern part of the city. You will discover historic buildings like Chalet Pujol and Casa Toschke, which show the true origins of the town, and drive past important local sports facilities. As you continue along the coast, you will enjoy panoramic views of both the industrial Almirante Storni Pier and the Luis Piedrabuena Pier where your ship is docked.

The tour includes a brief stop at a beautiful mural dedicated to the Malvinas War near the ALUAR plant, where you will learn about the industry that drives the region. Next, you will head into the city center to see the main square, the first church, and the historic first general store.

The route then takes you south toward the Tehuelche Indian Monument, an incredible viewpoint that overlooks the entire Golfo Nuevo bay and offers the perfect spot to take photos with the famous Puerto Madryn sign. Before reaching the nature reserve, you will make a special stop at Playa Paraná to view the remains of the sunken ship El Folías, a scenic spot that most basic tours usually skip.

Finally, you will arrive at the Punta Loma Natural Reserve for a complete visit to observe a permanent colony of South American sea lions and local seabirds living freely in their natural habitat. At the end of the day, you will be driven back to the pier with plenty of time to board your cruise ship safely.
