Peninsula Valdés, Patagonia, Argentina has opened for the 2018 Right Southern Whale-watching season!
From mid-May to December hundreds of whales arrive at Peninsular
Valdes to give birth and mate. This is the place where David Attenborough’s team filmed that amazing sequence of an orca beaching itself to catch a fur seal. A wide range of vessels from zodiacs to a semi-submarine offer daily navigation to get up close and observe these colossal but peaceful animals. Orcas, sea elephants, penguins and many different marine bird species are also resident.
