Approximately 150,000 penguins live on the island, and you will have
the opportunity to walk among them. It’s an extraordinary experience.
Magellenic penguins are highly social and monogamous for life. The
ones looking for mates typically bray loudly like donkeys.

You can expect to see the penguins tottering about, tending to their
young, interacting with each other, and hunting small fish in the strait. A
group of penguins floating in the ocean is called a raft; a group on land is
sometimes called a waddle because of their awkward walk.

Next, you will cruise toward Marta Island. Wildlife here is protected and
coming ashore is prohibited, but the sights are extraordinary. The shores
are covered with Magellenic penguins, cormorants, sea lions, Arctic
terns and other species. Your boat will cruise close enough for you to
easily see them in their natural habitat, completely undisturbed.

Following the circumnavigation of Marta Island, you will return to the
pier in Punta Arenas.
