Description
Whale watching from the beach is done at high tide, when the waters become a magical setting.
El Doradillo is a sanctuary for the Patagonian ecosystem, home to fascinating species such as guanacos, rheas, foxes, maras and a wide variety of seabirds. However, between June and October, the real protagonist of this reserve is the Southern Right Whale. During these months, these impressive creatures come within a few meters of the shore, providing one of the best land-based viewing experiences in the world. Can you imagine observing these giants of the ocean from the comfort of the beach? El Doradillo makes it possible!
The viewing points and observatories scattered along the coast allow you to enjoy this natural spectacle in a calm and respectful way. Furthermore, every year, mother whales with their calves choose these serene and deep waters, the product of a steep slope that protects them, making this beach an incomparable setting to observe them up close.
Excursion Adapted to Nature:
Our departures are carefully scheduled depending on the tides to maximize the chances of sightings. We have two options that will make your visit an unforgettable experience:
Morning departure: Enjoy a picnic lunch by the sea, surrounded by unique landscapes. Relax and sip cool drinks while you wait for the whales to arrive.
Afternoon departure: A delicious picnic awaits you, with a complete snack that will complement the natural spectacle that you will have in front of you.
In both options, you will do a gentle trek of approximately 1000 meters along the trails that border the imposing cliffs, accompanied by expert guides who will help you interpret and connect with this unique environment. Trekking is subject to weather conditions to ensure everyone's safety and comfort.
Come to El Doradillo and live an unforgettable experience, where nature and whales will offer you a spectacle that will remain engraved in your memory forever.

Un placer
Muy contentos con la elección. Recomiendo hacerlo temprano, hay menos gente y mejor luz. La frecuencia entre unidades podría ser mejor en las paradas del final. Totalmente recomendado.

Excelente experiencia de principio a fin. Todo fluyó sin demoras ni esperas largas. Volveríamos a contratarlo.

A real pleasure
Excellent from start to finish. Excellent guide with a deep knowledge of the local history. The talk at Southern Right Whales really stayed with us. One of the best things we have booked online.

Delivers and more
So glad we booked this. We messaged them on WhatsApp with a question and got an answer in minutes. It helped us decide where to go back to later in the week. Going through Patagonian made the whole tour worth it. Do not hesitate, book it.

Really enjoyable, though there is room for improvement. Booking was straightforward and confirmation came through instantly. It helped us decide where to go back to later in the week. The return ran nearly an hour later than scheduled.

Impecable
De lo mejor que hicimos en el viaje. Aprendimos más de la ciudad en unas horas que leyendo tres guías. Pagamos bastante menos que otras opciones y la experiencia fue igual de buena. La parada en Ballenas Francas Australes fue lo que más nos gustó. Una de las paradas estaba cerrada ese día y no lo avisaron.
