The pristine waters of Puerto Madryn offer some of Argentina’s most rewarding sailing experiences. From the historic waterfront, boats depart daily to explore the protected Peninsula Valdes, where sea lions lounge and whales breach during mating season.
I particularly recommend the shore excursion tours – they’re well-organized, include meals and refreshments, and smartly combine sailing with wildlife viewing. The guides are knowledgeable, the transportation comfortable, and the scheduling flexible enough to accommodate cruise ships.
Among the standout options, the private Peninsula Valdes tours give you the most bang for your buck, with personalized attention and no rushing between sights.
All tours offer free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance – a nice safety net for travelers.
