We will depart from our meeting point very early in the morning on a 50-km (approx. 31 miles) trip to the south of Punta Arenas. This Kayaking with Whales tour begins with a boat ride to the point where we will unload the kayaks to be able to paddle alongside the humpback whales that visit this place during the season. Also, we will be able to see different animals in the Francisco Coloane Marine Park, such as sea lions, petrels, cormorants, and Peale's dolphins, among others, all amidst the Patagonian landscape featuring mountains, glaciers, and forests. After this, we will start the return trip back to Punta Arenas to end our activity.
