This scientific and nature-focused experience invites you to explore the Eastern Islands of the Strait of Magellan on a meaningful navigation that blends science, biodiversity, and cultural heritage. This is not a traditional full-day tourist excursion—it’s an expedition designed to observe, learn, and actively contribute to wildlife monitoring.Along the way, you’ll spot Magellanic penguins, sea lions, Sei whales (increasingly common in this area), and a great diversity of marine birds, such as skuas and southern gulls. You’ll also dive into the rich history of the Strait, once navigated by canoe peoples who connected the continent with the great island.The trip is led by bilingual guides and marine and birdlife scientists. The goal is to record data, track migration patterns, and census key species, contributing to long-term ecosystem conservation. It includes an onboard lunch, hot drinks, snacks, a guided walk on Isla Magdalena, and an interpretative briefing at Río Seco Natural History Museum.An enriching experience for families, nature lovers, and those seeking a conscious and collaborative journey.
