Why choose vacation photography in Puerto Madryn?

For most travellers, the reason for Puerto Madryn is a boat trip with whales surfacing beside it. A vacation session here works around that day rather than on top of it: portraits in Puerto Pirámides before or after the boat, on the cliffs and the beach of the only village on the peninsula, and the trip itself photographed if a seat is free. The session is 30 minutes with 20 edited photos, delivered within 7 days.

Worth knowing about Puerto Madryn

Boat whale-watching is only allowed from Puerto Pirámides, about 100 km from Puerto Madryn, where six companies run it with boats for 20 to 70 passengers on trips of about an hour and a half. A Puerto Madryn vacation session tied to the whales is therefore a full day out, scheduled around the boat's departure time.

FAQ — Vacation photography in Puerto Madryn

Can the photographer come on the whale-watching boat from Puerto Madryn?

Only with a seat of their own. Boat trips leave from Puerto Pirámides, about 100 km from Puerto Madryn, on boats for 20 to 70 passengers, so the photographer books a place with the same company. Most vacation sessions shoot on the Pirámides beach before or after the trip instead.

How long does a Puerto Madryn whale day take?

A full day. Puerto Pirámides is about 100 km from Puerto Madryn by paved road, the boat trip lasts about an hour and a half, and the peninsula entry is paid at the control post. A vacation session that day takes 30 minutes in Pirámides, timed around the boat.
