Exploring Punta Ninfas was a unique experience, as we watched southern elephant seals lounging in their natural habitat. The only downside was that the tour felt a bit rushed at times, leaving us wanting more time to soak in the stunning coastal views.

We had an incredible time spotting southern elephant seals lounging on the beach at Punta Ninfas during our tour from Puerto Madryn in Argentina. The guides were passionate and knowledgeable, making the experience even more engaging, though the drive could have been a bit smoother.
