Underwater Whale Watching

Discover a truly unique adventure: witness southern right whales both underwater and at the surface, all without getting wet, aboard Southern Spirit’s exclusive semi-submersible “Yellow Submarine”.

Meeting Point

• Departure and return: Southern Spirit Boarding Center – Puerto Pirámides, Península Valdés. Our journey begins as we set sail on Golfo Nuevo, traveling up to 10 nautical miles from the starting point, always tracking the location and movements of the whales. Unlike any other vessel, the Yellow Submarine provides two distinct ways to enjoy this unforgettable whale watching experience:

  • Submarine Cabin: With 40 windows below the waterline, you can observe the whales in their natural habitat, enjoying a view similar to scuba diving—without getting wet!
  • Outdoor Deck: Enjoy a classic panoramic view from above the water, perfect for photography enthusiasts.

  Passengers are free to move between both areas at any time during the tour.

  Specialized Guides

  A certified whale-watching guide will interpret the whales’ behavior, provide captivating facts, and answer your questions, ensuring you get the most out of this unique experience.

  Duration

  • Approximately 1.5 hours.

  Service Conditions

  To guarantee a safe and top-quality whale watching tour, the Captain will evaluate weather conditions before setting out.
  If the Yellow Submarine excursion cannot be operated, you will have the option of:

  • A traditional whale watching tour at the same time (which is more stable in windy conditions), or
  • Rescheduling for the next available Yellow Submarine departure.
