Full day: Whales and glaciers
Navigation to Francisco Coloane Marine Park
The humpback whale is the star of this expedition. During the season, we sail to the areas where they are found within Francisco Coloane Marine Park, where every encounter depends on the animals' natural behavior and the day's conditions.
Whales may approach the boat, remain at a distance, or display various behaviors at the surface. As they are wild animals, every excursion offers a different experience.
