Look for humpback whales, Magellanic penguins, sea lions, dolphins, birds, waterfalls, and glaciers. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, and hot drinks are included.

“You see amazing things in one day. The cost is really high but worth it in my opinion. With this price I would expect it to have less persons as a limit. Food is not good but average to cover your daily hunger. The stuff is nice 👌”

2.Whales & Humboldt Penguins: Chañaral or Damas island hiking

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 10 reviews · 10 hours · from $280Best value

Travel from La Serena through fishing villages and desert country to Punta de Choros. With a bilingual guide such as Christopher or Martin, you’ll cruise around Choros Island, look for whales, dolphins, penguins, sea lions, otters, and seabirds, then hike on Damas Island before lunch.

“Helt fantastisk dagstur! Vi fik en masse information på turen hen til havnen og spændene stop hvor vi bl.a. så lamaer. Bådturen var magisk, med både søløver, pingviner, oddere, rovfugle og ikke mindst hvaler! Bagefter fik vi lækker frokost og fik besvaret alle vores spørgsmål. Guiden var virkelig dygtig og meget engageret i at vi fik en god tur. Kan varmt anbefales.”
