“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 👌”

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

Travel from La Serena through fishing villages and desert valleys to Punta de Choros. Cruise around Choros and Damas islands for Humboldt penguins, sea lions, seabirds, dolphins, and possible whales, then enjoy lunch in Los Choros with bilingual guides such as Christopher or Martin.

“El lloc és magnífic. Els guies bona gent (més o menys preparats ja és qüestió de sort). Val molt la pena: lleons marins, pingüins, aus pescadores, rapinyaires (dofins si tens sort) i de camí guineus (que s'acosten!), guanacos i ases salvatges.”
