★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 111 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $95Our pick

Review of the Peninsula Valdes shore excursion from Puerto Madryn, with wildlife sightings, long drives, price details, and practical booking advice.

“First thing you need to know is that the peninsula is BIG, really big. And covered with nothing but scrub and guanacos, so not too much to look at. It is a long drive to get anywhere, and you will spend most of this tour in a vehicle. That said, we got great views of penguins, seals and sea lions (didn't see anything else but that was just unlucky). Our guide Fernando was very helpful and accommodating and we had a nice day.”

“The guide was very nice. But it’s not worth taking a tour, better just find a way to get to Punta Tombo as you basically just walk in the reserve by yourself. They take you to a tea house after, note that you can just not go and go for a walk as it’s the experience is so-so. 8k for tea + a (very very big) spread of butter toast, cakes and scones.”
