Party Like a Penguin in Magdalena, Island Chile
Isla Magdalena - Penguin Island
About 32 km northeast of Punta Arenas lies Isla Magdalena and Los Pingüinos Natural Monument. The island is the largest breeding and nesting location for the Magellanic penguin. The penguin colony on the island holds over 100,000 breeding penguins among other birds, sea lions and nothing more... absolutely nothing more. This island is desolate and tree free. There is a really nice lighthouse and a makeshift dock where the Malinka Ferry docks drop off masses of birdwatchers and tourists every day. The island has a loop that runs around the island along a roped off path. You are not to cross the rope and if a penguin come to the path, you are supposed to give the right of way.
We went down to the Tres Puentes Ferry port where the Malinka Ferry takes the 2 hour journey over the Straits of Magellan to Magdalena Island. The cost was around $65 US per person of foreign origin. We thought it was really steep and there were less expensive options to see penguins, but not like Magdalena where there are 100,000 or more. The Malinka is a huge boat, you can sit inside and watch their informational video, or head out on the decks to get some briskly fresh air, whale watch (we didn't see any) or throw up over the side if you need to. The straits are windy and the seas are rough, however the size of the boat made it not as rocky as some ferries in Thailand, or Utila, Honduras.
