Our verdict

A genuinely long day — 15 hours is not a figure of speech — for the king penguin colony on Isla Dawson, which the Magdalena trips do not reach. Read it as two days compressed into one. If you have three days in Punta Arenas, take this and then the shorter fort trip on another day.

Best for: Travellers with a free full day who want king penguins and do not mind the hours.
