Australis Cruises is nominated in the World Cruise Awards
We're honored to share that Australis has been nominated once again in the World Cruise Awards. 💙
Magdalena Island holds one of the largest Magellanic penguin colonies in Patagonia. Between September and April hundreds of breeding pairs come ashore to nest, and the whole island fills with noise and movement.
You get there by sailing across the Strait of Magellan. On the island, a marked trail climbs to the historic lighthouse and crosses the nesting area: the penguins walk a few metres away, in and out of their burrows, entirely unhurried by us. Black-browed albatrosses, skuas, terns, cormorants and gulls are common sights nearby.
The walk on the island is gentle. The route may change depending on weather conditions.
Check-in directly at Prat Pier, 1 km from downtown Punta Arenas, and boarding.
