Activity itinerary

Muelle Papudo

1h
Admission ticket included

The boat tour begins at the Papudo fishing cove, where the captain provides a brief safety briefing before departing offshore towards Lobos Island. During the navigation, you will travel through rocky coastal areas and open waters known for their rich marine life, offering excellent opportunities to enjoy the coastal landscape from the sea. As the boat approaches the island, the speed is reduced to allow for safe and respectful wildlife observation. It is common to see families of sea lions resting on the rocks, as well as a wide variety of seabirds. With some luck and depending on the season, Humboldt penguins may also be spotted in their natural habitat. After time for observation and photographs, the boat returns to the cove, bringing the experience to an end.

Playa Chica

After the boat tour, travellers will enjoy some relaxed time at Papudo’s small beach. Here, they can have lunch or a light snack in the area (not included), with local dining options available to enjoy the coastal atmosphere at a relaxed pace. Afterwards, there will be free time to walk around the area, explore the surroundings, and visit small shops or stalls where local souvenirs, handicrafts, and regional products can be found. Those who prefer may simply relax on the beach, walk along the shore, and take photos before continuing with the next activity of the tour.
