magdalenaislandpenguintour.com is an independent guide to one trip: the boat tour from Punta Arenas, Chile, to the Magellanic penguin colony on Magdalena Island. We don't run boats or sell tickets ourselves.
How we compare the tours. We read every Magdalena Island tour listed on GetYourGuide — the boat, the departure point and times, whether it circles Marta Island, what is included and what verified reviewers say — and put the differences side by side. Prices are checked on a fixed date and shown with that date.
About Our Sources
Facts about the island, the colony and the visiting rules come from CONAF, the Chilean park authority that manages Los Pingüinos Natural Monument, and are cross-checked with a second source. When an official number changes — as the colony count did in 2025 — we update the page and say so.
How the site is paid for. When you book through our links, GetYourGuide pays us a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes which tour we recommend; sometimes the honest advice is a cheaper tour or a different day.
