Dolphins in Puerto Madryn?

Is it possible to see the dolphins as you are entering the port area?  I have been trying to locate a dolphin excursion for January 2019, but have not been successful.

It's one big ocean.     Dolphins   have multiple miles of range.  I've  seen the black   Chilean  dolphins numerous   times, from the cruise ship.   But,  I spend a great deal of time  out on open decks during  sailing-   hours and hours,  invested,    which is necessary.     I don't see much on the  east side,   with 10x's more  sightings on the west side,   far more wildlife   viewable.

 

   Necessary    a good pair of wide angle binoculars.

Thanks, BQ!  Gives me a little hope.

Be aggressive with spending your time outside during sailing on the lowest deck.   Especially the entire Chilean side.  

 

I also always point out Gentoo penguins that can always be seen coming in/out of Stanley.   Binoculars are necessary  but the beaches are lined with them.       Add to the mix,  a large rookery  of sea lions you'll pass  in/out of Ushuaia,  and all the Brown  Brow  Albatross you can see,  all over route.

Great tips!  I've added this info to my notes.  Thanks so much for sharing!
