Penguins of Otway Sound - Semi Private - 6 Passengers

Visit a wildlife reserve where each year from October to March, Magellan penguins come to nest at Otway Bay and Otway Sound, about 40 miles northwest of Punta Arenas. Named for the straits on which they live, these fascinating birds nest in burrows they dig in the sandy southern shoreline.

At the reserve, you'll walk approximately one mile across grassland interspersed with sandy areas to the penguin rookery by the seashore.

The animals are naturally curious and untamed, and if approached too quickly they'll scamper into their burrows or try to reach the water.

Do not attempt to touch them, as their bites can inflict serious wounds. A wooden partition with a special viewing spot separates the beach from the grassy area and the burrows.

This is a strictly wildlife reserve without any tourist facilities.

You'll have about one hour to enjoy and photograph these fascinating creatures before your walk back to the parking area.
