Penguin Expedition: Marta and Magdalena Islands Navigation from Punta Arenas｜Chile

We sail daily through the Strait of Magellan to Magdalena and Marta Islands. Magdalena Island welcomes over 60,000 penguins each year, and Marta Island hosts more than 1,500 sea lions.

We'll kick off this unparalleled adventure by checking in at our office and then taking a shuttle to Bahía Laredo to board speedboats. We'll ride for 45 minutes to Magdalena Island, where we'll disembark for 1 hour with our guide to discover the natural habitat of the Magellanic Penguins in one of the largest colonies in South America.

We then continue our journey to Marta Island to spot sea lions (if weather conditions allow), imperial cormorants, and hundreds of South American seagulls. Then we return to the pier and to Punta Arenas. If we're lucky, we'll also have the chance to spot Peale's dolphins, Commerson's dolphins and sei whales.

MEETING POINT: José Nogueira #1255, Punta Arenas 6:15 a.m.
