Great Day to the Peninsula! - We had an amazing day with Sergio. From pick up, to sight seeing, everything was wonderful. We were able to see elephant seals, penguins, and tons of land animals also. I highly recommend this experience!

Long dusty road that proved worth it - The variety of wildlife that we managed to see in the time available was great.
The pick up was spot on time and place. Our guide/driver, Serge, was chatty and informative. He also managed to avoid the crowds and cover a lot of ground.

Way too much driving to see so few animals... - Our guide was really good. Very well spoken, knowledgeable. He was passionate about his job. The problem with this tour is definitely not the guide. It's the distance you have to cover in a 6-7 hour timeframe (more than 400 kms, at least half of which is on dirt roads... and the fact that you will only see a few penguins and sea lions very far away. Better have a good camera lenses for pictures!
