Experience whale watching like never before in Puerto Pirámides aboard a custom-designed semi-submarine. Enjoy unique underwater views through 40 submerged windows, giving you a diver’s perspective without getting wet. Move freely between the lower deck and the outdoor upper deck for panoramic sightings. A knowledgeable guide will accompany you throughout the trip, sharing insights about whale behavior. An unforgettable encounter with these majestic creatures—both above and below the surface.
Once in Puerto Pirámides, you’ll have the chance to witness whales in their natural habitat aboard a unique semi-submarine designed specifically for this purpose. What sets this experience apart is the opportunity to observe these incredible animals from below the surface—offering a view that’s only comparable to diving alongside them.
As long as the whales stay near the vessel, you’ll be able to see them continuously through the 40 large underwater viewing windows on the submerged lower deck. Passengers are free to move around between the submerged level and the outdoor deck above, where you can also admire the whales from the water’s surface. The combination of underwater observation and panoramic views from above makes for an unforgettable adventure.
After a short sail, the vessel reaches the whale watching area and the experience begins. Throughout the excursion, you can choose to stay on either deck, enjoying both the views and the onboard guide’s commentary. The whale watching guide will share fascinating insights about the whales’ behavior and habits, helping you interpret what you’re seeing in real time, and will also be available to answer any questions.
Please note that for safety reasons, trips may be modified, postponed, or canceled if weather conditions are not suitable.

No, this is a boat navigation available from Puerto Pirámides. Transfer from Puerto Madryn is not included. Check Alternative excursion called Only Whales to include transfers from Puerto Madryn.
No, meals are not included.
The vessel combines conventional open-air whale viewing with an underwater observation area, allowing passengers to look through submerged windows when whales pass nearby.
No. Whales are wild and choose their own distance and depth. The underwater cabin creates the opportunity, but an underwater pass cannot be guaranteed.
Movement is managed by the crew according to safety and viewing conditions. Follow onboard instructions so passengers can use both perspectives comfortably.
No. Visibility can change with plankton, sediment, light and sea conditions. The experience remains valuable from the upper deck even when underwater clarity is limited.
It is different rather than universally better. Traditional boats focus on surface observation, while the semi-submarine adds the possibility of seeing whales below the surface.
A phone or camera with a wide or normal lens works better than a long telephoto. Hold the lens close to the glass and avoid flash to reduce reflections.
Dress in layers and bring a windproof jacket for time on deck. The enclosed underwater area is more protected, but you will likely move between spaces.
The underwater perspective can be especially engaging for families, provided children follow crew instructions and can safely use the stairs and seating arrangement.
The semi-submarine is still subject to maritime safety limits. Strong wind or unsuitable sea conditions can lead to rescheduling or cancellation under the operator’s policy.
Those months overlap with a strong part of the Southern Right whale season and the product’s scheduled operating period, creating good opportunities for both surface and underwater observation.
