Océano Patagonia is open year-round as each season offers unique wildlife and adventure experiences. The endangered Southern Right Whale takes shelter to rest and breed in our bay June through December. After the Right Whales leave in January, guests enjoy the breeding colonies of Southern Elephant Seals until April, followed by Southern Sea Lions and the Orcas. World-famous for their unique surfing-style of hunting, the Orcas and their calves visits the peninsula throughout the breeding season for both seals and sea lions. Colonies of Magellenic Penguins also mate and raise their young along our shores. And the dolphins live with us all year. And any given season, the land and air teem with indigenous creatures such as the rhea (a relative of the African ostrich), the guanaco (related to the llama), the mare (a large hare-like animal) and a wide variety of bird species.
