      Boats took us right up to the colonies. The operation was well organized and well done. The penguins were not at all concerned with our being so close.

      This is a great place near Ancud to see a lot of birds, mainly penguins. You take a boat and make a ride around small islands were you can take a lot of pictures. You can eat something in small restaurants in the beach.

      This is very cool Humbolt and Magellan penguins are in residence from November through March--then they take off. They were molting when we were there, so they weren't too active, but the guide gave us a good tour. Getting on and off the boat was a kick-they load you onto a trolly on the sand and wheel you out to the boat so you step on and off the boat. It is a beautiful setting--you drive to the end of the road and onto the beach. This is the same as the Islotes de Punihuil

      We were staying in Castro so drove to this attraction. Be careful though as the satnav took us via the shortest route which involved driving for maybe 45 minutes on rough untarmac-ed roads (loose stones). With hindsight it would have been better to stick to the main roads. It was busy when we arrived so best to book in advance. Anyway it was well worth it and since we had never seen penguins before except in a zoo it was a great experience. Plenty of photo opportunities but the best side of our boat for this was on the left. Kids would probably enjoy it too. Restaurant and toilets available on the beach.

      We drove from Ancud (hire car) along a winding rural road to the west coast. There are a couple of signs pointing the way at crucial junctions. The road ends and you drive onto the sand and park. I was struck immediately with the beauty of the beach, and it hasn't really been spoiled yet, despite the visitors. The boat tour was great, not least because the guide on our boat (there are others) was hilarious and well-informed (although he didn't speak English). We saw both Humboldt and Magellanic Penguins from close up. They said that the best months for seeing them is from January to February, partly because of better weather, but also because the young penguins are learning to swim and fish before they head out to sea in March. We also saw an amazing range of seabirds and a couple of sea otters.

      Joined a tour organized by Mystik out of Ancud (great tour guide Rodriga) to visit the colonies about a 45 minute car ride from town If you have a car you can drive out to the colony near Playa Mar Brava. If you dont take a tour you miss out on lots of information - guides avaiable in English- but with some careful reading of the info at the boat tour office you can get the basics. Once on the boat there is an ongking explanation - only in Spanish. In the 45 mjn. On the boat we saw all three colonies (2000 penquins) . The boat captain was skilled in getting us close to the birds jncluding a number of migratory birds and a lone sea otter. Life jackets provided. Great way to see both Magellan and Humbolt penquinos!

      Went on the ferry to Ancud with a trip along the coast watching people collecting seaweed with bullock cats. The Ancud market is great, huge variety of fish, vegetables, etc and crafts. Headed to the penguin colony - brilliant.

      We read the reviews on tripvisor about tours to the penguin colony so looked for one. An Ancud resident noticed we had a car and told us to just drive there from Ancud. It was less the 30 minutes and the road litterally ends at the beach.There are small tour operators rights there and the price is 1/3 of what a tour would costs. The tour operators were all local and seemed to take turns when random tourists would show up with their car. There are about 3-4 little operators and it's a protected area so all is regulated.The penguin islands are just off shore and the trip is about 30 -40 minutes. We saw a ton penguins, otters and plenty of other bird species.The beach area is really beaufitul and there are a handful of local resturants nothing outstanding but good fish, wine and an excellent view.

      A winding road from Ancud, brings you to the beach where you are transported to see the penguin colony. It is a most unusual mode of pushcart which transfers the passengers to the boats waiting in the surf. Cudos to the gents who devised this great vehicle which allows the tourists to enjoy a dry visit even on a rainy day. Well worth the drive and with no bookings we still managed to get straight onto a boat and get up and personal with the sea and bird life on the island off shore. Great way to spend a wet and cloudy afternoon and still drive to Dalcahue before dark.

      Aparently the pinguins were there, but it was too windy for the boats to head out.. Easy to reach by small car. People don't speak english
