In the southern direction of the mouth of the new gulf, 75 km from Puerto Madryn, there is Punta Ninfas, the first stop where you can see the breeding sites of elephants and sea lions, we will continue the path to El Pedral, an authentic Patagonian stay helmet, which It constitutes a museum in itself. After visiting the interior of the house we will go to the Magellan penguin colony, a guided tour between their nests will allow them to get to know these animals better. At noon you will have a delicious Patagonian roast lamb accompanied by salads, side dishes and house wine. During the afternoon you can enjoy the stay that has a swimming pool, board games or walk around with beautiful landscapes, as well as take walks around the property or have tea with Welsh black cake before going back

Not worth it, I'm afraid. Too expensive to get to see just one of the glaciers, the Spegazzini one. (The Upsala glacier can only be seen from afar, as it's deemed too risky to approach). The journey was too long and quite uncomfortable (the ferry I took was the Quo Vadis). Too many people travelling. The ferry was 80% full in Covid times, which I found unsensible and irresponsible. We could not choose where to sit or change seats afterwards. The Spegazzini refuge is partly open. You can take a (rather short) walk in the woods, but the café/restaurant/toilet area is (still) closed and looks quite derelict. I've taken other tours in the area (Perito Moreno Glacier/ Canal Beagle/Full day at Chalten) and they were less expensive, better organised and far more enjoyable than this one.

My rating is poor because not only was this entire excursion awful, but the tour guide didn't act like a tour guide. First, the excursion out to Peninsula Valdes was just way too long and we didn't get to see anything. In fact, all of us on the bus stood around for an hour, while the tour guide and 2 passengers "watched" the elephant seals. Mind you, the elephant seals just looked like rocks because you were too far away to actually see anything. The fact that Peninsula Valdes was awful was not the tour company's fault, BUT we did get to go to Puerto Pyramides at the end and it was very pretty, but because we wasted so much time in the other areas (where there was nothing to see) we didn't get much time there. Also, the tour guide did not give specific times of when to be back on the van and did not keep the excursion moving. The fact that 8 people stood around for an hour to leave and she didn't notice was a problem. Then we would ask when we needed to be back onboard and she would say 10 minutes - an hour later we would leave. This was super frustrating. Finally, this tour was expensive and 100% not worth it. The Peninsula was not good at the time of year we went. We basically saw nothing and for 2.5 hour drive (1.5 on gravel), it was a horrible experience and I would not recommend it.

We enjoyed spending time watching the seals and sea lions. Our driver was good and our guide was a lovely young lady who spoke excellent English. It was interesting speaking to her and getting an insight into the way of life in Puerto Madryn. The tour itself whilst enjoyable was expensive for what it was.
