3 Well-Spent Wildlife Trips in Chile

1.Punta Arenas: Dolphin & Wildlife Watching

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 45 reviews · 3h 30m · from $190Our pick

Search for Peale’s dolphins and other wildlife from a small boat on the Strait of Magellan, with hotel pickup from Punta Arenas.

“Our originally scheduled departure was changed to a much earlier time due to the expected wind that would have made being on a small boat difficult. We left early and were the only boat out. We saw dolphins and even a whale. I loved the experience and felt very well taken care of by Claudia and the captain. It was one of our Patagonia highlights.”

2.San Pedro de Atacama: Wildlife Safari and Photography Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 4 hours · from $145Best value

Spot vicuñas, guanacos, vizcachas, flamingos, and Andean birds on a small-group safari through Atacama’s highlands.

“Lo que más me gustó, fue tener la oportunidad de fotografiar Flamencos, vizcachas, vicuñas y varias aves que no conocía, ver los paisajes con esa luz dorada del atardecer y dedicar tiempo a observar y estar en el lugar, vale la pena totalmente, ya que es muy diferente a un tour tradicional dónde no se tiene la tranquilidad de poder apreciar la fauna, los paisajes y hacer buenas fotos. JP fue muy profesional, cercano y excelente disposición para que mi experiencia fuera la mejor. Recomiendo 100%.”
