Argentina Vision, who are the largest and best tour operator in Puerto Madryn.
- Go walking with penguins – The area around Puerto Madryn is home to huge colonies of Magellanic penguins, with the largest being in Punta Tombo, and another popular spot being at Punta Norte in Peninsula Valdes. In these two places you can walk amongst hundreds of Magellanic penguins, following a marked path down to the beaches. The penguins wander freely, so you need to be careful not to step on any of their nests or get in their way.
- Just a short boat ride away from downtown Puerto Madryn is Punta Loma, which is home to a stable population of 600 sea lions.
- Peninsula Valdes from Puerto Madryn is 97 km drive
- A world class whale watching tour – From May to December southern right whales ply the coast off of Patagonia, on their annual migration to breed and calve. Can see from the beach but also a whale watching trip on a boat works well
- Visit puerto pyramides – One of the funkiest little villages we have seen in Argentina, Puerto Pyramides is the only town in the Valdes Peninsula and is well worth a stopover when looking for things to do in Puerto Madryn. The best thing about Puerto Pyramides is the southern right whales that come into the bay, meaning you can launch off on any number of boat tours, or even spot them from your balcony!
- Dolphin watching
- Visit a Welsh town – visit Gaiman and marvel at this fascinating little Welsh village. The streets are pleasant and there’s a distinct architecture that is unseen in other parts of the country.
