Snorkeling with Sea Lions｜Argentina

Snorkeling with single-fured sea lions at the Natural Reserve of Punta Loma, Puerto Madryn, is a MUST DO if you visit our city. An stable population of around 600 single-fured sea lions live at Punta Loma all year long. We will reach the place after a 25 minutes very interesting boat trip enjoying the particular patagonic landscapes. Be prepared to live an unique experience. We will be snorkeling along 40 minutes waiting for an approachment of the animals. This activity is carried out all year long as the sea lions colony is stable. The highlight of this excursion is that the interaction that can be achieved here is unique and this is given for three facts: single-fured sea lions are the most friendly among all sub-species of sea lions, they live permanently at the Natural Reserve which gives the animals a familiarity with human beings, there are no predators in the area which increases their confidence in water. The most important and beuatiful fact is that these animals are absolutely free and they don´t suffer any manipulation from our side.
