Rise early to embark on an exhilarating whale-watching tour through the Strait of Magellan during sunrise. Cross Froward Cape, the southernmost point of the South American mainland, and cruise out to the sea, where humpback whales, Magellan penguins, sea lions, and more can be found.

Remember that your excursion begins at 3:30AM and you have to approach directly to the office of the local provider, located in Jose Nogueira #1255, Punta Arenas, there you have to make your check in. Then, you'll be transported to the Prat Pier where you will board your vessel. Stand on the ship’s deck as you cruise out through the Magellan Strait, soaking up the warm colours filtering up from the horizon as the sun rises over the Tierra del Fuego archipelago and the Chilean fort of Fuerte Bulnes. Sail through Froward Cape, the last point of the American continent as you admire beautiful landscapes, multicoloured flora, and enormous glaciers from the Darwin Range.

Your ship continues along through the Francisco Coloane Marine Park where you can observe humpback whales, Magellan penguins, sea elephants, sea lions, austral dolphins, cormorants, albatross, and a great diversity of sea birds in their natural habitats. There’s nothing quite like seeing a gigantic whale coming up to the surface, their blowholes spouting up water at random intervals. After enjoying time at sea witnessing such an abundance of wildlife, delight in lunch onboard before heading back to the mainland.
