Sailing run by a partner maritime operator

Turismo Paisaje Austral checks availability and conditions with the maritime operator before confirming the booking and payment. This is wildlife watching and sightings cannot be guaranteed.

The sailing follows the Strait of Magellan towards the Francisco Coloane area. Humpback whales come to these waters to feed during the southern summer. Islands and channels form the backdrop as the crew looks for wildlife.

What the experience involves

This is a long excursion, approximately from 04:00 to 17:00, including breakfast, lunch and coffee during the day. We check availability and arrangements with the maritime operator before confirming your booking.

Before you travel

The published season runs from December to March. These are wild animals, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. Bring warm layers, waterproof clothing and a camera with zoom; the boat follows the required viewing distances.

Are whale sightings guaranteed?

No. The crew looks for whales in their natural habitat, but their presence and behaviour vary. Weather can also change or prevent the sailing.

How the booking is confirmed

  • If direct payment is enabled for the tour, you can pay immediately.
  • For tours requiring confirmation first, send your date and passenger count. We coordinate with the team or sailing company and send payment instructions once your place is confirmed.

Sending an enquiry does not trigger an automatic charge or secure a seat until we send confirmation.
