About this trip

To experience the incredible southern right whales in person, and in the water, the only place to go is Argentina.

Here, under strict government permits you can get to experience the beauty of these animals in the water. 


During the winter months of the southern hemisphere, these giants enter the shallow waters of Peninsula Valdez where we can witness their extreme curiosity towards the boats, and to us in the water. 


This expedition however, is only open to serious photographers and videographers as the permit is photographic permit. Therefor each guests needs to bring with them a dSLR or equivalent mirrorless camera in a housing, or the equivalent video set up (for example RED Digital Cinema).


No SCUBA certification needed.

Day 1. Land in either Trelew airport, or Puerto Madryn and be transferred to the hotel.
