Reviews

Reservé el avistaje desde la web y la atención fue muy clara: me respondieron rápido por WhatsApp, incluso para ajustar la fecha por mi cumpleaños. El traslado desde Puerto Madryn resultó cómodo, con asientos reclinables y una botella de agua incluida. En Puerto Pirámides, la tripulación explicó todo con paciencia y vimos ballenas cerquísima. Volví feliz y agradecido.

Ballenas, comodidad y una atención cercana para festejar mi cumpleaños frente al mar patagónico

After a year of nonstop work, my friend and I took a break in Puerto Pirámides, and this whale watching trip was a highlight. Booking was easy, but what impressed us was the quick help from Best South America Tours; they answered our questions about pickup times and weather within minutes. Our guide, Martín, knew the bay like a local: he pointed out a sea lion colony before anyone else and explained why whales favor the sheltered water near Punta Pardelas. The boat felt relaxed, not rushed, and we had unforgettable close encounters. Great choice for curious travelers.

Whales, Local Stories, and Zero Stress

Eu e minha esposa fizemos o passeio com a família durante a baixa temporada e foi um dos momentos mais marcantes da viagem. Saímos de Puerto Pirámides exatamente às 9h, depois de uma explicação bem clara da equipe, e navegamos por águas tranquilas, cercadas pelas falésias douradas da Península Valdés. Vimos várias baleias-francas, inclusive uma mãe com o filhote passando bem perto do barco. A organização foi impecável: confirmação na véspera, embarque sem filas e retorno no horário prometido. O vento estava forte na volta, mas a tripulação distribuiu capas e cuidou de todos com muita atenção.

Nach einer Geschäftsreise habe ich mir zum Geburtstag diese Walbeobachtungstour ab Puerto Pirámides gegönnt – und sie war jeden Peso wert. Die Abholung lief pünktlich, der Minibus war sauber, klimatisiert und hatte angenehm viel Beinfreiheit; sogar meine 1,5-Liter-Flasche passte problemlos neben den Sitz. Die Fahrt zur Küste war ruhig, mit kurzen Infos unterwegs. Auf dem Boot konnten wir die Wale aus nächster Nähe sehen. Für den Preis fand ich Organisation, Komfort und Dauer sehr stimmig. Die Crew gratulierte mir sogar mit einem kleinen Geburtstagskuchen. Würde ich wiederholen.

Éramos um grupo pequeno, só oito pessoas, e isso deixou o passeio tranquilo. A equipe foi simpática, sem correria de excursão lotada, e sobrou tempo para rir e fotografar. Saímos de Puerto Pirámides com o mar azul, passamos pelas falésias da Península Valdés e vimos duas baleias-francas bem perto do barco; uma até bateu a cauda três vezes. A paisagem árida encontrando o oceano foi linda. Voltamos salgados, felizes e com biscoitos a bordo.
