Before departure, you will receive your boarding pass and all the necessary information via WhatsApp so that you can travel with peace of mind.

We will set sail on a modern catamaran bound for the legendary Isla Magdalena, sailing for 1 hour and 30 minutes through the historic Strait of Magellan. During the crossing, you may spot austral dolphins, sea lions, and even whales that visit these southern waters.

On Magdalena Island, you will walk along an 800-meter path that crosses the largest colony of Magellanic penguins on the continent. More than 60,000 pairs live here alongside cormorants, seagulls and other seabirds. The hike ends at the Magdalena Island Lighthouse, built in 1902, one of the region's heritage symbols. The time spent on the island is approximately 1 hour.

At the end of the experience, we will return by catamaran to the Prat Wharf in Punta Arenas. The estimated arrival time is 12:30 PM for the morning sightseeing tour and 6:30 PM for the afternoon departure.
