It was great fun to walk among the penguins and to see sea lions in their isolated habitat. It was quite a boat ride to Magellanas Island.
This trip was awesome!...

This trip was awesome! Great boat ride out to Marta Island to see the thousands of sea lions and then another boat ride to see the penguins and lighthouse on Magdelina Island. There we were able to get out and walk among the many baby penguins! It was so cool to see! On the boat they gave us hot chocolate and cookies! Everyone was so nice, knowledgeable and accommodating.
Poorly planned but lots of penguins.

The tour operator was disorganized, not allowing people to check in until the listed tour time, and then overselling the space. Four of us had to be taken in a pickup truck, and we got no tour info along the way. Once on the boat, it was a normal tour that showed us many penguins, but then we returned by truck.
Went to see the Penguins!

This was a great tour. It was very cool seeing Magellanic penguins up close. The meeting point was only a few blocks from the cruise ship. We road a bus out of town to a boat dock where we boarded a boat to Magdalena Island. Once we arrived at the island we were allowed to walk around for a little over an hour. We skipped the second half of our tour because the water become extremely rough and the wind was blowing strong. It was a wise choice by the tour operator. We have gone on this tour previously with the same tour operator and they were fantastic! Highly recommend this tour with this operator. Make sure you bring something for motion sickness if you have issues on small boats and definitely bring rain gear because you will get soaked if it's raining. Overall it was fantastic!
Slow start.

The check in process was a mess. It took over an hour to wait in line just to get a bus number. Vendor should have someone outside checking off those that are fully registered. We got back 1 hour 15 minutes late, and had no time to see the city. The boat ride and islands were good. The staff attempted to serve hot drinks as we left Magdalena island, A few fola were splashed allover them.
Wonderful day

A fantastic experience, the team could not have been any more attentive. The weather was perfect which added to our enjoyment. The sea was choppy around the second island which made for an uncomfortable 10 minutes on top of the boat looking at sea lions etc. which wasn't the crews fault of course. Overall I would definitely recommend the trip and the company.
An adventure!

It is a very nice walk but with very windy and cold, it was disappointing that we did not visit the sea lions because according to this the weather conditions but in my opinion was why they left late and did not give them time, I think they should warn you when you hire and not surprise you. The guide was a super nice boy and provided us with information and help at all times.
A unique experience with...

A unique experience with penguins, seals, sea lions, and many types of birds. Well organized and great guides.
Great boat operator & crew, not so much 3rd party provider.

Great boat operator and crew. The conditions of the sea changed drastically after the first stop so we were not able to see sea lions on second island. But no worries since due to many passengers getting sick by rough seas and the crew being very capable we all made it back on time. The third party provider though performed poorly, having very poor communication and treated everybody differently regarding return transfer. Two separate couples in our tour arranged with third-party provider to be sure bus driver returned them to cruise port as first stop. We were on same Cruise, and same cruise port and told the third party provider and they just insisted that we tell the bus driver to take us back to cruise port upon return. Instead the bus driver arranged for the other two parties to have private transfer vehicles take them directly back to the cruise line (had no edit cost). We were left having to wait until others were dropped off before returning us to the cruise line very close to our deadline. Bottom line is the communication with third-party provider is terrible and the way they treat their passengers is not consistent nor equal. For anyone following the instructions they've received from this third party, they all will not be treated the same.
Crew on Boat was great. Tour operator has communication issues

Seeing the Penguins was great, but to no fault of the tour company we had very rough waters coming back and a few people throwing up. The crew was very accomadating. I will say there was some miscommunication with the crew and getting back in time. If we didn't have rough waters that ended it early, we would have missed our ship. I aske 5 people to make sure we would be back at a certain time and they all said yes, no problem. Lucky for us there was bad weather or it would have been a disaster.
