Elephant seals, penguins, sea lions! - Our guide, Mary, was excellent with the ability to tell us all about the region, the history, the wildlife etc. We stopped at the visitors center and moved on into the wildlife refuge. Saw a ton of guanacos and some mara as well. Our driver, Pablo, had eagle eyes and could spot them pulling the van over so we could see. At the shore we saw a couple of Magellanic penguins (most penguins had migrated from there already). We continued on to the elephant seal colony which was impressive. Lastly they added on a trip on the way back to a sea lion colony. Overall a great day. Bagged lunch/snack/water provided.

Excellent tour - Mary as guide and Pedro as driver were an excellent team pointing out the varied wildlife we saw. This is a very beautiful area and the tour was excellent. Highly recommended.

Wonderful adventure with an informative guide to a very unusual place - Our guide, Santiago, is also a nature photographer, so he was always able to spot the animals, birds and even insects that we saw along the drive through Peninsula Valdes. He brought us to see unusual animals like maras and rheas, as well as the sea lion colonies. In addition, we stopped at a hugh salt flat created by an old tide pool when the area was covered with sea water. It was a wonderful trip, a very nice bag lunch and entertaining and informative conversation with a guide who is very knowledgeable of the area.

Excellent Tour, Guide and Driver - We had excellent communication with the tour operator, which was essential since weather impacted our itinerary. The meeting point at the end of the pier was easy to find, and we left with our guide very efficiently. Our visit to the area was at the end of summer, and much of the sea begun their migrations. Still, we saw penguins, seals, sea lions. Just not as many as you would expect in a higher season. Along the way, we saw many guanaco, and mara, and a hawk. Our guide Diego spoke excellent English, and made sure that we had enough time to visit the important sites and get back to ship with time to spare. Some things that you should know. This tour involves a long drive - about 2.5 hours each way - and half of that drive is over gravel road. Any tour from port to see wildlife will have similar travel times. If you are prone to motion sickness you might want to ensure you have a small tour. Ours was a group of 12, so 14 people including driver and guide in a 15-seat tour bus. There was not too much walking on this tour. We made a number of stops and at each one there was a short walk. In short, this is an excellent tour with a well run tour company with knowledgeable and experienced guide and driver. I would book with them again without hesitation. Thanks!

Interesting tour - Excellent guide Emilia. Saw penguins up close, seals and sea elephants from the cliff, also saw owls and other animals.

Excellent Tour and Very Experienced Tour Guide - Sentir Patagonia Travel is an Excellent Tour Group. I highly recommend them for any tour or cruise shore excursion you may choose. They were organized, communicated well, start to finish and the tour was exactly as I expected. Having said that, it is important that if you choose a tour to Peninsula Valdez, you understand where you are going and what you MAY or MAY not see. The roads are rough and the animals are wild. So to get anywhere takes a long time (as the reviews, our guide and I knew before) and wild animals show up whenever, wherever (as the reviews our guide and I knew before.). So for me, the tour was exactly as expected with an amazing tour guide Carolina Garcia, exceptional well-prepared, knowledgeable and talked about the animals whether we saw them or not. We had a great driver that stopped and wiggled the bus best as possible to help us see whatever animals we could. But we went at the end of the season, on a very windy day and so we saw LOTS of Guanacos, no penguins and LOTS of Elephant Seals and one scurrying armadillo. We saw a great deal of Peninsula Valdez. It was what I expected. But you will enjoy it, appreciate it and rate it highly if you understand exactly what you are choosing. Sentir Patagonia Travel has lots of choices and will work with you to get what you want. The buses were smaller size and in GREAT shape, far better than many other places we have toured.

Nature viewing - Nice guide and driver. Did their best to take us to the best areas to see sea lions. Penguins were scarce due to time of year.

Excursion 08 March 2024 - review - Excursion was ok but far too much time spent sitting on a coach. To begin with was about 40 minutes from the dock to the first visiting point with about 20 minute stop time. We then set off for another 1 hour 30 minutes (minimum) before a five minute stop to see the penguins. It was only five minutes because there wasn’t any to see. We then continued for about ten minutes to see the seals which was about an hour stop. After this hour we returned the same journey back to the cruise dock with a five minute stop. Lunch was provided on the coach eating as we drove along. I acknowledge it’s not the companies fault for no penguins being seen but all in all for a seven hour excursion we were sitting on a coach for over 5 hours. However we were informed there was only two seen the day before - maybe another option could have been offered. The whole experience is based on seeing the penguins.

Boring tour - Not good for visiting penguins, just wasted time, though the guider is not bad. The food is not good either
