WHALES AND MARINE LIFE
Navigate towards the feeding areas of humpback whales of the Francisco Coloane Marine Park and explore one of the most extraordinary marine ecosystems in Patagonia.
Depending on the route and season, we may also be able to look for dolphins, Commerson's dolphins, sea lions and other species that inhabit these waters.
Ideal for: nature · photography · families · documentary.
GLACIERS AND FJORDS
Venture into the western channels of the Strait to sail among mountains, subantarctic forests and vast ice sheets.
We can orient the expedition towards Santa Inés Island, Barbara Channel and other areas of the southern fjords, combining navigation, landings and landscape observation.
Here, Patagonia changes scale completely.
Ideal for: landscape · photography · exploration · nature.
BIRDS AND REMOTE ISLANDS
We design expeditions for birdwatchers and nature lovers to some of the least traveled areas of the archipelago.
Magellanic penguins, rockhopper penguins, albatrosses, petrels, cormorants, caracaras, and other species may become the target of our navigation.
Given enough time and suitable conditions, we can guide the expedition towards the Outer islands and the Pacific.
Ideal for: birdwatching · photography · specialized expeditions.
HISTORY AND HERITAGE
The Strait of Magellan can also be explored as a vast historical route.
We can design a navigation route following ancient settlements, archaeological sites, lighthouses, shipwrecks and places related to explorers and navigators who crossed these waters for centuries.
From the ancient presence of canoe-faring peoples to the great hydrographic expeditions and the maritime history of the Strait.
Here, the landscape also tells a story.
Ideal for: history · archaeology · heritage · cultural expeditions.
SCIENCE AND EXPLORATION
WhaleSound was born linked to scientific research in the Strait of Magellan.
That's why we can also develop special expeditions for researchers, universities, audiovisual teams, photographers, scientific organizations and conservation projects.
Depending on the objective, we can incorporate specialists and design the necessary logistics to work on the ground.
Ideal for: research · documentaries · professional photography · universities · technical expeditions.
Combine them!
You can start by following humpback whales, continue towards the Santa Inés glaciers, spend the night on Carlos III Island and the next day venture into the channels following old maritime routes.
Another might spend several days exclusively reaching the outer islands in search of birds. Another option might combine photography, sailing, heritage, and gastronomy.
We don't sell a fixed itinerary.
SOME PLACES THAT CAN BE PART OF YOUR ROUTE
The great maritime route that connects our different exploration territories.
