Why Sunrise is Ideal

• Less wind and calmer waters, which makes it easier to spot whales.

• Fewer tourists: a more peaceful and intimate experience.

• Golden light is perfect for photography.

• Whales are often active near the shore early in the morning.

Where to See Them at Sunrise

1. El Doradillo Beach (15 km from Puerto Madryn)
   Ideal for seeing whales very close to shore, especially mothers with calves.

2. Puerto Pirámides
   Boat excursions depart from here—some early in the morning.

3. Estancias like El Pedral Lodge
   Offer privileged coastal views and the chance to combine wildlife watching with an overnight stay.
