FAQ

What period of the year does this tour take place?

It takes place from October to May of each year, from Tuesday to Sunday

In what transport do we cross the Strait of Magellan?

There are 2 ways to cross the Strait of Magellan, the first is through the crossing through Tres Puentes located at the northern entrance to Punta Arenas (the crossing takes approximately 2 hours in a ferry) and the second is through the crossing through Punta Delgada (the crossing lasts approximately 30 minutes), located 170 km north of Punta Arenas. Depending on the above, it is possible that Porvenir will not be visited and the duration of the tour could be extended to around three hours. Regardless of the route, the tour rate always remains the same.

How do you pay for admission to the King Penguin Park?

You must pay only with a credit or debit card in the king penguin park itself at the time of entry. The entry costs are as follows:

  • General public: CLP$15,000
  • Adults over 60 years of age: CLP$10,000
  • Residents of Chilean Tierra del Fuego: CLP$5,000
  • Children up to 10 years old and people with disabilities: Free entry

Are there places to eat during the tour?

Depending on where the crossing is made, we can make a stop in Cerro Sombrero or Porvenir for lunch, generally the costs vary between CLP$7000 and CLP$15,000, and there are also meals of the day, which include a starter, lunch, dessert and a drink. It is also recommended to bring food from Punta Arenas, since the route is long and there are no places to buy.

Can I cancel or reschedule my reservation once I have made the payment?

Yes, you can cancel or reschedule your reservation if you notify us 48 hours before the start of the tour, in this case we will refund 100% of the cost you paid when making the reservation or we will reschedule without penalty.

Itinerary King penguin park from Punta Arenas

We start at 07:00 picking up tourists in their respective lodgings, heading to the sector of Tres Puentes and boarding the Ferry at 08:30 am. The navigation lasts 2 hours arriving at 10:30 am to the Island of Tierra del Fuego. Arriving in the city of Porvenir we will visit and visit the Provincial Museum Fernando Cordero Rusque. Around 13:30 hrs we leave the city of Porvenir and we go to the Penguin King Park, located 120 km south of Porvenir, sector of Bay Useless, at the mouth of the river Marazzi is this colony of penguins.

The King penguin is a migratory bird that is mobilized from its reproduction sites in some sub-Antarctic islands in search of food. On the shores of Tierra del Fuego, we know that it has been a frequent visitor since the time when the Selknam lived because they have found bone remains of king penguin in their archaeological sites.

Here you can sighting this beautiful bird and enjoy the surroundings. After 17:00 hrs will begin the return taking a different route passing through the commune of Cerro Sombrero and from there arrive to Bahía Azul where the crossing will take place (20 minutes aprox) and then we will travel 180 km to reach Punta Arenas at 9:30pm approximately.

Full day Tierra del Fuego is made daily in high season and in low season you should consult us (mainly on weekends)

Note: The itinerary may be modified according to the availability of the ferry and the visiting time assigned by the King Penguin Park itself.

Important: Tour end time is approximate and subject to change. It is recommended not to book the tour if you have a flight scheduled from Punta Arenas that same day or before noon the next day.

What else can you say besides it is a unique experience to view king penguins. The facilities are simple but functional. I just wish it had been a little less windy. Wind was so strong it was difficult to take good photos.

What a fabulous experience. A great driver and our guide, Diego, was awesome! The penguins were amazing and a beautiful sight. Thanks to Diego for showing us how to take fantastic camera shots and thanks too to the wonderful guides at the penguin park who spend six weeks there at a time! Great day -Diego was very knowledgeable and kept us informed and entertained the whole time. Loved the extras – Shame there weren’t more food / restaurant / takeaway options for lunch and it was planned for so early in the trip. Overall though a memorable day spent with some great people.
