It was a great choice to take our trips to Península Valdés and Punta Tombo with Sussanich Turismo. Organising things before we arrived with Natalia was all very easy, very clear on things like the daily itineraries and the price. We were given advice on booking our whale watching trip on the first day in case bad weather caused a delay. Very useful information that we had not previously considered. For both of our trips we were taken out by Mati who turned out to be the perfect guide for us. Looking after a group with ages ranging from 5 years old to 67 years old is not always easy, but Mati was great. Very knowledgeable on the all the wonderful flora and fauna we were seeing as well as the history of the region. I’d recommend for anyone to take a trip to Puerto Madryn and the surrounding areas of Chubut province, and I’d recommend for fellow travellers to use Sussanich Turismo to help them get the most out of their trip.

We did this as a shore excursion and we booked it directly with El Pedral. The El Pedral team at the Puerto Madryn port were well signed and we found our way to our guide, Rodrigo who directed s to the small 'bus we went touring within. Rodrigo was well spoken and an excellent guide giving us great information on the excursion. We saw some wildlife on the journey to El Pedral property. Our first stop was to observe a small nmber of Elephant Seals laying below our cliff top observation point and then we proceeded to the area of the light house. Then came the reason for our journey - the walk, maybe 1500m or more, to the area where the penguins were located. First we saw moulting birds and then more and more and finally we reached the pebble beach where there were many penguins close to the line of surf. A few walked close to us while we stood upon the beach. After we returned to our bus we went to the El Pedral buildings where we had a lunch which included Argentinian style BBQed lamb and wine. This was the best excursion we have ever been on in our 6 cruises.

Five hours in a bus, two and a half each direction, should have a payoff worth the time spent. This wasn't it for us. Bring sunscreen, a head covering and water for the very long, hot trek to the end of the boardwalk. There you'll see the penguins swimming in the distance. Binoculars will help. Otherwise you may see a few penguins up close as they make their way to the welcome shade of the boardwalk. These will be surrounded by tourists taking pictures. In the words of Roseanne Rosannadanna, "I thought I was gonna die!"
