Beautiful experience - It was a fantastic day! We had the privilege of spending the day with our guide Lukas in a group of four and had a very good time. Lukas had extensive knowledge of the region's flora and fauna and was a competent and friendly guide who always looked after us. Many thanks for this outstanding experience!

Respect and warmth - We went to celebrate 80 years of my mom, and it is very remarkable the patience and the predisposition of the guides regarding their age, all the wisdom they transmitted to us of the fauna and flora was terrible. The most remarkable thing is the human warmth and respect for the fauna, I would definitely hire them again

Wonderful excursion!! You can see the passion and care with which they approach it. Recommended - Beautiful excursion, in contact with nature, having the possibility to see very close the whales, tour the peninsula seeing other species, such as elephant seals, magellanic penguins, sea lions. With the guide’s thorough explanation, Daniel, with informative material of each species, with a friendly and warm treatment and the perfect driving of the vehicle, of Coco. I'd do it again with this company. Highly recommended.

Excellent 1-day tour of Valdez Peninsula - We only had 1 full day in Valdez Peninsula because of flight rescheduling but Dos Oceania and Danny (our eagle-eyed driver) made sure we saw virtually every major site on the island. In addition to great stories about the development of Puerto Madryn, Valdez Peninsula, and their history, Danny showed us guanacos, maras, penguins, birds, a grey fox, hares, bird life, and more. The whale watching trip was phenomenal with very close up views and the varied scenery throughout was fantastic! Highly recommend!

Southern right whale sighting - It was amazing and above all very respectful of the fauna. The only thing that I feel unlucky to be there under an algae outcrop and nothing looked like when the water is crystal clear, those things should be taken into account.
