The short answer
Municipal tourism identifies Punta Cuevas, El Doradillo, Punta Loma, Península Valdés and Punta Tombo as places to explore. It describes June through December as whale season. These are outing ideas, not guaranteed sightings or today's operating schedule. Ask the tourism office or licensed operator about your date, pickup, admission and return.
- Separate a city outing and a regional journey.
- Check current conditions and operator arrangements.
- Follow protected-area animal rules.
