It is always challenging to organize a shore excursion when passenger on a cruise. On one hand there is the possibility of going with the official cruise-arranged trip with the perspective of being funneled into a comfy AC-equipped bus with tons of people, shuttled to a place and brought back with minimal interaction with locals and little contribution to the local economy. On the other hand, arranging an independent excursion with a local compan, carries on top of the usual quality risk the major risk of timing: a sloppy organizational mistake and the ship leaves without you. I took the chance with Odisea Patagonica because in the few hours that we were docked in Puerto Madryn I wanted to maximize my chances of experiencing the best of Peninsula Valdez, an ecosystem unique in the world, and the trip Odisea Patagonica offered was heading to Punta Norte, its farthest point, famous for orcas observations. I could not have been happier. The organization was a breeze, thanks to Romina who was always quick in replying on WhatsApp, adapting plans as the sea conditions delayed the mooring of the ship and waited for us at the dock. Thanks to the driver who drove safely and efficiently, making the several hour long trip mostly on dirt roads a breeze and bringing us back to the ship with a large safety time margin. And, especially thanks to our amazing guide Marcela. She is not only passionate and knowledgeable, speaking multiple languages. She has such a vast and interesting life experience traveling through the whole of Patagonia, and South America in general that one could spend days on end listening to all her stories. Highly recommended as a guide for anyone who wants to explore these areas, as there is nothing she does not do from guiding land tours, to leading scuba diving trips to be the captain of a sailboat or catamaran through the intricate channels of Tierra del Fuego. Thanks for making a trip of a few hours into such a unique learning experience, Marcela! I’ll be back for sure in Patagonia and look forward to have you show me more of its magic!S5702WWveraw

Also stopped for us to see the wild animals as we were on route. Fully recommend this tour.Renata P

O passeio foi maravilhoso, estrada muito bonita com paisagem diferente onde pudemos ver os animais em seu habitat natural. Pudemos ver muitos leões marinhos e suas crias fofíssimas, mas não vimos orcas, pois a maré estava baixa, elas vem com maré alta, segundo a guia. Fomos em final de fevereiro ...
O passeio foi maravilhoso, estrada muito bonita com paisagem diferente onde pudemos ver os animais em seu habitat natural. Pudemos ver muitos leões marinhos e suas crias fofíssimas, mas não vimos orcas, pois a maré estava baixa, elas vem com maré alta, segundo a guia. Fomos em final de fevereiro e estava bem quente e seco, não esqueça sua garrafa de água. Na volta paramos na vila de Puerto Piramides. O passeio completo levou aprox 5hr, e valeu demais.paula p
