Description
Begin your experience at an exclusive dive center, ideally located just 500 meters from the pier in the heart of the city, with direct access to the beach. Upon arrival, be personally welcomed by a professional team and provided with premium-quality equipment, including high-performance wetsuits or drysuits during the winter season.
In the comfort of the facilities, prepare for your adventure in a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere. Once ready, take a short walk to the shoreline, where a spacious, fully equipped boat awaits. Designed for comfort, it offers heating and a covered area to ensure a pleasant journey in any season.
Set sail across the pristine waters of Golfo Nuevo. During the 20-minute navigation, you may be fortunate enough to witness southern right whales (July to November), adding an extraordinary touch to your journey.
Before entering the protected sea lion reserve, receive a detailed and personalized briefing from expert guides, ensuring you feel completely confident with the equipment and fully informed about safety protocols and respectful wildlife interaction.
At the colony, be assisted individually with your fins and mask before you gently enter the crystal-clear waters. Then, the extraordinary unfolds. Floating effortlessly thanks to the full buoyancy of your suit, become part of the marine environment. Wild sea lions — curious, agile, and entirely free — approach on their own terms. They glide, spin, and play around you in what can only be described as a privileged and intimate wildlife encounter.
They are never fed. Every interaction is natural, respectful, and authentic. Spend approximately 40 to 50 minutes immersed in their world, always accompanied by a professional guide who ensures both your safety and the well-being of the animals.
After your swim, return to the warmth and comfort of the boat, where a selection of hot or cold beverages awaits you. During winter, thermal jackets are provided, and the heated vessel guarantees maximum comfort even on the coldest Patagonian days.
Back at the dive center, unwind with a soothing hot shower, the perfect conclusion to an exceptional marine experience.
