Experience an unforgettable wildlife encounter as you snorkel with playful sea lions in the pristine waters of Patagonia. This unique adventure takes you to Punta Loma Natural Reserve, home to the only permanent colony of South American sea lions (Otaria Flavescens) in the Puerto Madryn area.

Your journey begins at the dive center, where you'll be fitted with a 7mm wetsuit and receive a comprehensive safety briefing. Then, board a boat for a scenic 20-25 minute ride along the coast to the protected reserve. As you approach the colony during high tide, you'll witness hundreds of sea lions entering the water—the perfect moment for interaction.

Once in the water, your certified instructor will guide you as curious sea lions approach naturally, swimming circles around you and showcasing their incredible agility. The experience is safe, controlled, and supervised by provincial wildlife rangers who protect this special ecosystem. Optional photo and video services are available to capture your once-in-a-lifetime memories.

This activity is accessible to everyone—no prior snorkeling experience or swimming ability required. As the only center in the area that welcomes people with disabilities, we're committed to making this incredible wildlife experience inclusive for all. Children from 8 years old are welcome, making it perfect for families seeking an authentic Patagonian wildlife adventure.
