With a guide who at least appreciates the country of Argentina and gave a little greeting in Spanish would have been perfect.
The excursion is beautiful because the place is beautiful. The city is beautiful, Punta Loma is a paradise of sea lions and birds. What made me UNPLEASANT the excursion is that the guide did not know Spanish. I understand and speak English without problems, but “Andrew and I am Welch” didn’t give an answer in Spanish. I was hoping for a guide that Argentina would like at least. This Mr. Andrew criticized Argentines who believe that only ae eats beef and seafood and everything else is ornaments. I'm going back to Wales and you're happy
Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de compartir tu experiencia. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de Puerto Madryn, Punta Loma y de la hermosa fauna del lugar. Sin embargo, nos sorprendió mucho leer tu comentario, ya que no encontramos ninguna reserva a tu nombre y todos nuestros guías hablan español.

City Tour and Sea Lions at Punta Loma from Puerto Madryn: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Madryn.
How much does City Tour and Sea Lions at Punta Loma from Puerto Madryn cost?
+
Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Madryn usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does City Tour and Sea Lions at Punta Loma from Puerto Madryn take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Madryn is not rushed.
Is City Tour and Sea Lions at Punta Loma from Puerto Madryn worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Madryn, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule City Tour and Sea Lions at Punta Loma from Puerto Madryn?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is City Tour and Sea Lions at Punta Loma from Puerto Madryn suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book City Tour and Sea Lions at Punta Loma from Puerto Madryn?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Madryn can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Madryn and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does City Tour and Sea Lions at Punta Loma from Puerto Madryn start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Madryn within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puerto Madryn?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Madryn experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best of Peninsula Valdés in one day, Shore Tours Punta Tombo Cruise Ship Passengers Puerto Madryn, Full Day Peninsula Valdes Experience - optional Whale Watching. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Madryn?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Madryn?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in City Tour and Sea Lions at Punta Loma from Puerto Madryn?
+

+
